I hear that Freddie Starr is doing a tour soon.

I wonder if I should book tickets?

[HonaloochieB]

Though I'm told by some that the only real entertainer named Freddie, is Freddie Mercury.

[HonaloochieB]

Oh, I used to play with a little pot of mercury as a kid, used to run it through my hands, roll it round the dinner table.

Supposing I've slowly poisoned my whole family over the years?

[HonaloochieB]

Family? Roger Chapman, now there was a voice.

I guess most everyone must have heard about the dog which was rescued, then going to have its head blown off?

Well, teh internet peoples have done it again and the mutt is going to its new home, all alive like:

Muttley? Oh my favourite cartoon character. And you know, he was more than a dog. Or so it seemed to me.

[Annasfield]

Apparently dogs can't look up. I believe they can.

I once bought a well-known chocolate bar famous for having a "hazelnut in every bite" only to find that it was totally nut-free. As you can imagine I was royally racked off and ever since I've been stridently off topic.

"General ED Issues/Gossip" - what is Gossip if not wandering light hearted banter and how tightly can you define the word "General"?

Did anybody see the photo of the horse with its head stuck in a tree in this morning's Metro? Who'd of thought it.

Canon make good cameras.

There are some huge canons at Hurst castle, didn't realise they were still building them in Victorian era.

I once knew a Victoria with huge bazookas. Had to break it off though as she was forever on the phone to her mum.

[Keef]

Bazookas could do a lot of damage in the wrong hands!

[Brendan]

People often misuse the term bazooka by using it to refer to shoulder-launched missile weapons in general.

[HonaloochieB]

My shoulder's giving me gyp again this morning. Cruel it is.

[citizenED]

Apparently you can use a well known ointment to "bazooka that veruca". But, if my exhausted memory is not playing those games again, is not a bazooka a brand of bubble gum

[Moos]

I'm told I can make my own Ham and Eggs Bloomers, but that sounds most uncomfortable, not to mention unhygienic.

[Keef]

Eggs can be bad if not cooked properly. Gordon Ramsey used to play football you know.

[Ant]

Michel Roux wrote an entire cook book just about eggs.

Shell haven't been in the news much lately, have they? Used to hear about them all the time not so long ago.

[Keef]

Channel 4 do the best TV news.

Countdown used to be good, but has gone right down hill!

[Brendan]

I like traveling South. It always seems like you are going downhill.

Did you know that JRR Tolkien was born in South Africa.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

John Buchan suffered from duodenal ulcers.

[HonaloochieB]

The Pet Shop Boys are a duo.

[Asset]

They are so middle class. Obviously Lordship Lane was better 15 years ago.

[Ant]

You can buy lordships off the internet. I wonder whether you can buy lanes as well.
