Well I've never heard anyone else say it so I'm not sure - I suspect it's something my mental parents made up to shame me in the school yard. Although I did once hear my nan say that she wasn't as green as she was cabbage looking - prior to that, I had thought they only said it on Corrie.

I hope you will do it in a massive sock.

Ca ne fait rien But it doesn't make sense in that context, d'you see?

She's a bit peas above sticks = she's no better than she ought to be (but rather thinks she is) You can go and sanfairyann = to this day, absolutely no fricking idea

What BN5 said. A lot.

For shame - I thought you were a gentleman.

Meh, Brum - I make a lighthearted comment on the Ask Admin thread and you choose to dissect in this manner? (er, again) Frankly I'm staggered that you'd want to have a drink with someone who's disturbingly divisive. No idea what my plans are for Friday yet, but if I'm there I'll have a drink with you. My only motive is the forum being a fun place to hang out. When I say the rest of us, I meant the people outside the little online menage a quatre / cinq. I speak for no one but myself, but I would ask, did you actually read Admin's post? I've no interest in pitched battles.

Things that are worrying me this week - did anyone die as a result of the mass homeopathy overdose on Saturday? I really worry for their safety. Can add nothing pertinent to the Depeche Mode conversation (although Quids I salute you in your appreciation of Low). All I know of the Mode is that Dave Gahan has a really big adam's apple.

Hi Brum, You really do misunderstand me - I was being quite quite serious. You should know that I have no problem with smut - I think many Carry On films are hilarious and I find Terry Thomas quite the thing. At times I positively embrace sexually explicit content (although the forum perhaps isn't quite the place for it). Just think the standard of smut on here is very dull, lacking both wit and any genuine sexual frisson. I rather thought that if there was a playroom for such threads, people could play away to their heart's content, without boring the rest of us. Still, I take Admin's point, and hope it won't be a triumph of optimism over experience. And Admin, kudos on the chlamydia / orgy image - nearly wet my pants. Well I didn't, but I did laugh, and that's almost as good.

Dear Admin, Please could we have a section for largely tame but mostly tedious smut: the type that lacks the wit of a Carry On film and the titillation of real porn? Thanks y'all RosieH

Well now - I set it up 8 years ago and as far as I know it's still going on. Was hoping that Prunes For Jesus Day would put an end to it, but turns out that religious miracles do happen, and our lord, feeling for the flatulent, rendered them just another innocuous delicious dried fruit stuff.

God, I wish. wasn't me - but National Constipation Day might have been...

what giggirl said - PR people - "shit, we've got to do PR for watercress, what to do?" a week, a day, a fortnight, on very rare occasion, a month. I may, on occasion, have created a day myself.

It's shit, (the being recently single, not being single bit). I'm sorry to hear that. But then, seeing someone isn't always a bed of roses either... Keep busy. Keep very busy. Have fun - as much as you can cram in. Forum drinks on Friday if nothing else beforehand. And put your mobile in the other room when you go to bed and feel like texting

aaaghhhhhhh - my ears are bleeding - it's not fucking ironic you mad fucking bint, it's just fucking fucking annoying. LIKE YOU. Roll Deep, you'll burn in hell for this

I've got a shitload of forks here and all I really need is a knife or a spoon or something, to gouge out the Morisette earworm that's going to torment me all bleeding day

Exact detail will I think depend on the certification scheme, but the main accreditation in the UK is Soil Association, which will mean that the animals involved are free range (and often required to have more space than standard free range) as well as avoiding antibiotics and certain drugs (relying on good animal husbandry instead) and GM is banned from feed. Iceland have a pretty good rep in the food production stakes - I've said it before and I'll say it again, just because it's frozen doesn't mean it's shit. However, I can't say the same for a chicken tikka lasagne - there's something terribly terribly wrong there.

Never been a big subscriber to Valentine's, but there is something insane and slightly ghoulish about eating a picture of your beloved. Can't quite see the romance in watching your beau eat a picture of your face though - oh wait - it's not your face you're putting on the biscuit right?

giggirl, I applaud the romance in your soul and as such, may I recommend a little bit of It truly is an uplifting sight - exactly what I needed when I had just blown my entire disposable income for the month on new boots and a leather jacket and the panic had started to set in.

I rather liked it, particularly the oath to "do no illectrical" (can you swear an oath to do no illogical though Huguenot?) That MMR debacle got right on my tits - hurrah for the GMC

Nothing odd there Anna, Bill Nighy = utterly delicious
