The weight of this particular sand particle ensures that it stays low. Otherwise, its movement is jerky and erratic.

If you look carefully, you'll just spot it to the lower left, in this video. (Just above the one that looks a bit carrot-shaped):

Which one are you referring to? Could you be a little more specific?

Certainly. I've amended my preface.

Okay, Mince. I'm really, really, sorry. You can come back and join in the discussions again. It is New Year's Eve after all.

I think you've really hurt him, Peeps. I was trying to think of the equivalent to "Officer down!" but "Mince down!" doesn't sound right.

It sounds right in the context of "Roger likes to mince down to the pub".

Americans don't say "mince". They call mince "ground beef".

I have some more fascinating insights to the American way of life I'll share with you later.

Roger likes to ground beef down to the pub doesn't really work.

I'll think about it.

I have spent the last week finding out how to program in PHP and finding out how this board works. I have written an entire "corrections" system for my student board. I was wondering what I could write for this board. How about a system allowing us to award each other DDDDDD badges? Or a system that adds Roger-insulting posts to random topics?
