... one is called "One two three", the other "Un deux trois".
Only one gets all the way over.
Which one?
One two three, because un deux trois cat sank.
I'll get me coat...

Obviously the English cat. The french cat sank!

une neuf of these French number puns.

|
|
|

Together with the usual disregard for the actual pronounciation, otherwise they don't work, right?

de riguer, Rodney, de riguer...

No, that is the punch line to why do french people only eat one egg for breakfast.

Obviously the first one, the second is undexterous.

Cross-language puns. Because there isn't enough of the regular kind.

Just give a look at Q&A.

Well, I'm not doing it right. I've always had difficulty getting comfortable in bed in the neck/head area, so pretty much every night I embed my arms under the pillow to prop it up a bit for my weary knackered old head.
It used to be occasional, but now pretty much every night I wake up with at least one paralysed arm. (Paralysed, not parallelised those who are immediately thinking of contention and deadlock). [Replace 's' with 'z' for dialects using compromised version of language]
Of course it passes in a minute or so when the blood returns, but it's weird picking up a heavy limp arm with the hand of the other. Get it wrong and it slaps you in the face.
So, is this common? Anyone else get this?
And crucially, where do you place you arms in readiness for overnight batch processing?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Ha! That explains quite a bit then.

Either on a shelf near the bed, or protecting my "assets" from cat-like pounce attacks through the duvet.

Detachable arms eh? Mind you, I knew this girl once who could detach her eye-lashes. Mysterious things.
Whilst there is no cat in my house, there is an excess of small children so I appreciate your other pose.

I can see hanging one arm, but how do you hang the other?

It's the sub-doona attacks executed from the edges of the bed that are the worst, especially if there are claws and bare skin involved.
Are cats born evil or do they just study hard?

Born, I think: either that or their mothers give serious lessons.

Been there, done that. At least one of my arms usually go under the pillow, but it also depends on the season. I would like to train myself to sleep in a better position, but it can be pretty difficult after sleeping a certain way for all these years.
|
|

|

Exactly. I try to put them elsewhere, but then I get uncomfortable and will struggle getting off to sleep. Arms are in completely the wrong place to go to sleep on your side.

Rob Philpott.

Have you thought about getting some of those fancy pillows, memory foam or the ones endorsed by NASA? I think your pillow is the problem as you should not need to put your arms under your pillow (thus the numb arms).
Just a thought...
BTW, I changed out my pillow to a run of the mill memory foam pillow and it has improved my sleep (head and neck support).

Yes, I have one of those - big heavy thing it is. Prior to that I'd always use two pillows doubled up but would still need the addition of an arm or two.
I am fairly wide across the shoulders, so it might just be I need a wider pillow. But the thing about arms is they don't compress. Perhaps I'll stick that big book on WPF I've got under it and try that.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.
