Being a liquid, water is not itself wet, but can make other solid materials wet.


Wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material.


Whether an object is wet or dry depends on a balance between cohesive and adhesive forces. Cohesive forces are attractive forces within the liquid that cause the molecules in the liquid to prefer to stick together. Cohesive forces are also responsible for surface tension. If the cohesive forces are very strong, then the liquid molecules really like to stay close together and they won't spread out on the surface of an object very much. On the contrary, adhesive forces are the attractive forces between the liquid and the surface of the material. If the adhesive forces are strong, then the liquid will try and spread out onto the surface as much as possible. So how wet a surface is depends on the balance between these two forces. If the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are bigger than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material becomes wet, and the liquid tends to spread out to maximize contact with the surface. On the other hand, if the adhesive forces (liquid-solid) are smaller than the cohesive forces (liquid-liquid), we say the material is dry, and the liquid tends to bead-up into a spherical drop and tries to minimize the contact with the surface.


Water actually has pretty high cohesive forces due to hydrogen bonding, and so is not as good at wetting surfaces as some liquids such as acetone or alcohols. However, water does wet certain surfaces like glass for example. Adding detergents can make water better at wetting by lowering the cohesive forces . Water resistant materials such as Gore-tex fabric is made of material that is hydrophobic (water repellent) and so the cohesive forces within the water (liquid-liquid) are much stronger than the adhesive force (liquid-solid) and water tends to bead-up on the outside of the material and you stay dry.

Everyone should get some Dicks in their mouth...



Fortunately for me I only have to walk four blocks up the hill to get my dicks fix.

All i Wanted was fish an' chips...

Got persuaded to go to a fancy restaurant. The fish was great but not a chip to be seen - the only carbs were two crispy bread crusts balanced on top.

The red blobs weren't even proper tomato ketchup!

That looks pretty disturbing mate

Bring on the fish supper...

Even the mushy peas look a bit deflated.

The mushy peas were frothy, FFS.

Well pissed off.

Price, come on....

The Ashvale Whale. (massive haddock)




if you finish the lot you get another one free or a free dessert but only there and then, no vouchers.

^That's going to piss him off now

Did you finish it?

Of course, free ice cream!

Actually, my mate ordered it for me while I was dumping my luggage. This was a pre-munch to a drinking session and we both puked. It didn’t affect the drinking though.

A challenge is a challenge though.

Good to hear

NPT, I paid 420 Baht for that, and it was the ind of place they would have added on a service charge.

No chips and no free ice cream

Plenty tail though

New Zealand lamb shanks from Makro. Ton of meat on them. Unfortunately my brother is here so had to share.

^ looks nice. Dirk's fish looks nice too.

Not sure about a bite of Dicks... But, Papillion will be along soon to lend his support.

The dogs bollocks especially at the end of the night after more than a few pints as the stay open to 2am everday...







A local place with fresh local beef, hand cut fries, and milkshakes to die for. It blows McDonald's and that other fast food shit out of the water.

^ yeah, looks alright. I probably would...

Of course you would especially after we spent the night smashing pints. Dicks drive in was never meant to be gourmet.

Do you remember this post snubs?

Of course I do. I was not even buzzed.

I guess I was the only one that thought it funny. Some here may not be as comfortable with their sexuality as me.

Well we do now know that you love Dicks..

Indeed I do and I am not sorry about it at all.

Go Seahawks!

That's a lot of dicks right there.



Did you gobble that up on your own?

I do like a nice milkahake too

Im dying for some junk food. Gonna go get a single prune out of the fridge:sad;
