Euphemism? :cool:

I believe they used to bake them in clay? According to Elton John and Bernie Taupin many years ago, anyway!

Well, yes! I got that far, but it was the actual joke that I can't remember! :rolleyes:

Used to be a joke going round regarding Otis lifts and having a branch in Reading (Berkshire). Can't remember the joke, though. That's good, then. Glad I bothered to mention it!

Before 9am, phone call to our landline. Ringer's number shown - a mobile number. Alarm bells sounded Lady, very strong Indian accent, claiming she was ringing from BT, 'warning' that our internet line was being used/shared by someone "without my permission". Did you receive our email on your...

Brilliant! Very clever.

Yes, I can like see why that would like get to you, like. How you'd like stop it, is like another question. Let me like know if you like ever manage it.... ;)

That's interesting! Obviously I'm not 'correcting' you - as you actually live there! - but it just goes to show how I've forgotten even schoolboy French! I passed my 'O Level' (without money changing hands!) and praised myself for doing so... However, years later I was in Paris with my beloved...

No, matey. Only a labrador! No kids, no grandkids!

Yes...but I didn't 'feel sorry for myself' this morning. I suppose, if anything, I was/am frightened that I might not witness another beautiful spring/summer morning. I'm (almost) certain my labrador won't, but he has no concept of that...but I do. I've been here for just over 70 years. I've...

You may well be right. All I know is that I was useless at it!

Just spotted my neighbour Stuart in his garden...Bless 'im, he was sitting on his ride-on mower, sobbing his heart out. "Stu! What on earth's up? Has someone told you that the Blue Peter dog has died? Or that we lost our beloved Queen last year? Yes, Stuart...she was crowned in 1953, matey - you...

Sold my Dyson the other day. It was only collecting dust.

Can't comment on the titanium vs. anything really, but the above comment caught my eye. When I was 'obliged' to do some metalwork at school - (y'know the kind of thing - making a poker for the coal fire you no longer had at home, and the 6-egg stand in woodwork class that either fell to pieces...

Oh dear, Artie! That'll really get Stu floundering! :giggle: (Norn Iron, huh?! Ex-RBAI here! I was the one student who didn't become a GP/lawyer/politician/solicitor/lecturer/scientist/Nobel award winner...)

A bloke knocked on my door and asked if I wanted a window cleaner. I said "Yes, but I'd really like them all cleaner...." Right, Stu... Y'see, it's sort of a play on words. It's all down to ... Anyway, while you're working on it, here's another.... Someone stopped me in the street and...

Isn't it strange when some little phrase gets you?! Very descriptive, woodhutt! That'll have me chuckling all day, matey...
