On the subject of fish (and I love plaice), and getting back to the subject(ish) , why don't we know more about this lady (yes, I've had to go back to WIK)

Emmeline Moore (1872–1963) was an American biologist known her various articles on fish diseases and for her pioneering work in conservation and combating water pollution.

Why don't we hear more about her work?

I haven't time to explain it now, perhaps I'll try later once you've washed the dishes :-P :-D :-D :-D

That is too much for me and my little womens' brain.

But surely 30% should be off the larger packet?

make it 40% off the smaller one.

I would hope that, if they are being aimed at women, they would be thirty per cent cheaper to account for the pay difference.

Allan Report 5 Feb 2018 22:33

if smaller packets of Doritos are being offered, will that be reflected in a reduced price?

I'll be doing well if I can remember what they are.

By the way, Grace Hopper was another programming genius who was very influential in the development of the COBOL language in the fifties. She also designed the earlier FLOW-MATIC language.

How you going to get your Dorritos then?

Kense Report 5 Feb 2018 21:31

It takes me about ten years to notice that fashion has changed. I don't suppose I will be allowed out on my own by then.

Sharron

Sharron Report 5 Feb 2018 19:39

But what are you going to do when big handbags are not fashionable anymore?

Kense

Kense Report 5 Feb 2018 19:36

If you had worked in Computing you would have known about Ada Lovelace. One on the main computer languages of the eighties and nineties was called Ada in her honour.

PS I can get a big packet of crisps in my handbag.

I agree Maggie. I'd never even heard of Ada Lovelace, the mathematical genius, till they did an article in the local paper. It said there was a memorial to her in a churchyard in the area where I have lived for 55 years, yet I'd never heard of it. We went to see it then, a few yards from the Mallory Park Race track. Maybe female success beyond their own has been an embarrassment to a lot of men and so kept under wraps!

Ah but will they smudge the lippy? :-)

Sharron

Sharron Report 5 Feb 2018 17:37

They will also not make as much noise because women don't like to crunch loudly.

Men also carry handbags .....

....... why didn't Doritos just advertise smaller packets that will fit in handbags or briefcases ???????????/
