I think there may be an earlier citation CS, Bryan Enoenoeno's Phlebitus: warre wat zit gud fwoar solutely no thing, 1582: "Piss, it be took freely, and wy not?

For sure.

It might snow. Words fail me. It's bad enough having to put up with c@nts. But c@nts in wellingtons? Ask if 'it's OK to use the 'loo'' Just f@cking ask.

I felt a certain chilly tingle today, could it be that snow's on its way? I hope so, walking in a winter wonderland is, well, just so me at this time of year. No two flakes are alike, you know.

Green Door - The Cramps

'Once upon a time, time was not'

I'm tearing up.

Going Back Home - Dr Feelgood

HELP, my arse. You try to involve inbred rabbits in an orgy, you deserve to die.

The cloud above the 'planes? Is anyone else seeing a young Anne Widdecombe? And to the right of her a Groucho Marx caricature?

I can help you out here, the three drivers in question were forming a Thin Lizzy tribute group and were rehearsing over their radios. That's the original three piece Lizzy of course. Purists these lads are. TFL Lizzy they're styling themselves.

The Crystal Palace Tavern is usually open and I'm confident they'll have boose. As for grub, there'll be crisps, tortilla chips ('Mexican' crisps with a dusting of 'foreign') and pork scratchings. As far as I'm concerned fine dining compared to the 'buffet' meals many of us have to enjoy.

Thanks for the tip EDO, I'll give them a try.

If it's the LP, no harm would be done. The CD may be different, those jewel cases could cause abrasions. Either way, let Roger Waters know, he'll get a song or two out of the situation.

But don't like I did go looking for parsnips. Never going to happen.

This goes for carrots too.

Enough with buying those expensive potatos from M&S in Brixton, simply cross the road, wait for the fruit and veg stallholders to 'push in' and trawl the gutters looking for spillage and ones discarded as being unfit to sell.

Ooh of course, and the scene where the 'electric heart starty irons' are applied to an infected crew members chest and the chest opens to reveal a gaping toothed maw and bites the medics hands off. A film that can still put the willies up me.

Well done for 'fessing up and making the offer of restitution GWBB. So let's see. You're honest, work in a grog shop and your way of apologising is to dole out bottles of Blue Nun or as it might be Black Tower. If you're a spinster then I expect every batchelor in the parish to be laying siege to G&B right pronto. Seriously though, you did a good thing.

Don't you trust the timetables?

I wonder will they have the absolutely bazzing deals on large bottles of lager that I've seen going down at the FH branch. Mercy me, it's a wonder I've a liver left at all.
