^ Well that's strange... I bought my mum a sack of wild bird seed today, but she feeds the blue tits and sparrows, not pigeons apart from one big wood pigeon that calls in the garden. She also got a tenner out of me for the Salvation Army today. Her name's not Polly, by the way!

I also bought my mum a new microwave today as her current one has got rust on the inside, I've never seen that before.

What do you do with an old mIcrowave in the UK? In Korat I'd just leave it next to the bin and it'd be gone in minutes... unless of course it was in a particularly dangerous condition. In that case I'd give it to one of the inlaws!
