Why do some onions make you cry and another time they dont?

Think it's the root that causes your eyes to water the most, i.e. when you cut into it / near it. Seem to remember being told that by some celebrity chef on telly once.

Very good, but that doesnt explain how some weeks they dont cause your eyes to water and some weeks they do.

There's some chemical in them that causes it. It's more prevalent in some onions, i.e. not as much in mild onions like red ones. I guess it's variable even within the same type of onions - when / where they were grown, how fresh they are etc. I'd suggest wiki but it's shut ;)

If the onion is fresh, it will make you cry more. I know this as i often wear a string of onions around my neck with a stripey blue and white top.

 

And a beret whilst riding a bike with a basket on the front containing baguettes.

Think he said the same about scots tbf unless you want to post the link where he told you all to get to fuck,

 

Personally, the further removed you skirt wearing lot ate from u's, the better. Final straw for me was deep fried mars bars.

 

Have you been sniffing Fosters tonight CT? :lol:

They do deep fried butter now. Sounds right up your street.

Is it possible to dial a phone number from your pc that uses your normal house phone?

 

I know about skjype and all that but you either have to dial someone on skype or buy skype credit.

 

Basically just wondered if I could call a number without dragging my arse over to the house phone.
