Can we have a General issues/gossip topic?

[mockney piers]

That sounds like the first line in a joke. What's the punchline?

[CrystalClear]

that'll explain his form then.

[mockney piers]

Nope, don't get it.

[CrystalClear]

it's pretty weak (as am I today). Duff, newcastle, duff, Church, that's about it...

[dulwichmum]

Oh dear........

[mockney piers]

CrystalClear earns a second

!!

[CrystalClear]

Noooooooo!

[spymum]

Incitatus, speaking in your inestimable capacity as a horse, wotcha think of that all this 'Equus' excitement then? All I know is, I wish that Potter lad would put his flippin' robes back on! Besides, he'll probably catch his death of cold!

[Keef]

I thought you were talking about the rugby playing form of her weird orange boyfriend Gavin Henson.

So, another Welsh person... cringe

[dulwichmum]

Gavin Henson is a very strange looking man, I should imagine Charlotte's poor baby will be born the colour of stretch armstrong.

[clare]

Is that the same shade as my old school tights? We called it american tan back then.

[dulwichmum]

The very same, but very shiny. (in the manner of Bob Monkhouse).

[Nero]

You made me think of the word 'denier'. Great word! Nero

[dulwichmum]

Mmmm, really? Why? Do you like the sound of the word, or do you simply like to consider sheer ladies hoisery?

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Hoisery"? Ladies have some frankly frightening and incomprehensible items of corsetry, but I have not heard of "hoisery" before. Explain please ..

[Incitatus]

Dear Spymum,

Thank you for giving me the chance to proffer the Horses perspective of ?Equus?, unfortunately / fortunately for me I haven't had the chance to see the production though I am aware of the film version. Frankly the thought of Potter sans kecks scares the living daylights. On a more general note, I don't think that Horses have had a fare rub of the artistic green, of course there's the obvious celebrations of the Equine, ?Nat' & Int' Velvet?, ?Follyfoot Farm?, John Constable and ?BB? but then there's the humiliation ?Mr Ed? (Old Timer, your card's marked), they actually fed the poor sod masses of peanut butter so that he'd 'talk' and then there's the violence, 'The Godfather' when Khartoum lost his head in the bed - no prosthetics in 72', they used a real severed head, the horror!

The boy Radcliffe should beware, in the film ?Equus? his character was played by Peter Firth, despite playing opposite Dickie Burton his only claim to fame since then is that he's the fat bald one in 'Spooks'.

Mr Mikewbate

it's a code word!;-)

[Michael Palaeologus]

What about Trigger? He was Tonto's lover wasnt he?

[clare]

Wasn't Peter Firth in the Double Deckers?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Dont know, more of a Banana Splits man myself.

[Incitatus]

exactly

[clare]

I do believe Peter Firth was also in Joseph Andrews and Tess( but I much prefer his brother Colin.)

[Michael Palaeologus]

Oh, him.

[Incitatus]

Such a strong family resemblance ;-)

[dulwichmum]

Now that I know what lol means............... I'm lol........
