ready meals for Ely

but if you couldn't find water and had to use pee you wouldn't be able to pee as you would be too dehydrated...

Brings a whole new meaning to "put the oven on honey, I'll be home in ten minutes"

Also, realistically, if you had no water and were at risk of dehydration is chicken curry really the best thing to be eating?

ok, well, thanks Andrew. I did say that I only use pee as a skin hardener and not a thirst quencher. this article also says that urea causes kidney damage so maybe those stories i heard about his beardiness were false, who knows? well he does obviously. I'd have a go at those meals if I were stranded, what the hell, give it a go I say. I know that the disgust I'd feel at drinking food hydrated by my own wee would be far outweighed (literally) by the more real pain of carrying an extra couple of kilos of liquid over a desert for mile after mile. I'm not prissy or nesh about bodily fluids, gases etc.

These Americans!! We will be having powdered water next! Just add... errr..

Don't laugh...it's been tried.

Well actually the army have filters for cleaning piss, I believe the SAS use them all the time. Apparently the piss comes out in a drinkable condition.

Nor am I if everyone takes responsibility for what they create. I have been blissfully free of foulness, stench and unhygenic things since my husband moved out of this house. *sniffs the air* ahhh!

You trying to tell us you don't fart, Emma?

I do the washing in our place, so I'm quite used to "foulness, stench and unhygienic things" lurking in the wash baskets. Not to mention the cats.

Oh, no...but I genuinely don't burp...and if I fart I wave the sheets up and down to dispell the intensity. By day I will leave polite company if possible and deposit aroma considerately.

You don't have a lavender ring?

I put lavender oil in ceramic rings on lightbulbs...but not in the bedroom...there are times when the natural smells are more than acceptable, and I wouldn't want anything to get in the way of those.

I was asking if you had one of those things that 18cent. women used under their gowns.

Oh, you are better at history than me, Missi, never heard of them...

18 cent. I thought that was a rapper in the sales!

I think Missi was around in the 18th century........i even heard he was at Jimmy Young's christening.

Did he have that chin as a baby, Missi?

George, you really shouldn't contribute to threads in order to find out about women's underwear. EMail her privately if you want to know.

18 cent women generally use something cheap and nasty under their gowns, such as impulse or TCP...
