Asia, well, what do you expect? In the less nouveau riche countries, I don't see so many about.

WalMart are very impressive. When I was in Pennsylvania I went to the store in Tunkhannock and bought a mobile phone.

Phone, laptop, baked beans, shirt, all available from the great Horn of Plenty that is WalMart. However, I have never shopped there in my life.

Fulsomely Bentelschafft was a well known Victorian benefactor. No, he wasn't really, I'm pulling your leg.

"fulsomely " ? which the OED tells me might mean 'a way that causes surfeit and nausea' ? surely not to cause 'nausea' ?

Leg before wicket! Oh dread words; Bentelschafft began the long walk back to the pavilion, from where he had but recently emerged.

Emerged from the pavilion with W G Grace he had, they made a splendid pair. But he was destined to be out for a duck.

Duck soup is disgusting. It tastes horrible and it swims with fat.

Look at this...
I swam with these fat people, and I think I caught some of it. Just look at these love handles!

Handles on a Grecian urn? I think you may have bought a fake....and why does it say "A present from Skegness" on the bottom?

Carrying on from spendius, sorry ragman but you didn't stick to the rules of the game, you can find them on page 1 Smile

Fat people cop a lot of jokes. Like, Kelly is so fat, he shows up on radar, and Bill is so fat when he steps on the scale it says, "To be continued."

Bottom of the barrel is an expression we use in England, and other places where English influence continues, which could be, now you've mentioned it, not derived from a barrel as a cask at all. I will ponder it as I examine my belly-button.

Ragman- take no notice mate. We were all young and stupid once. Dutchy is like a sort of traffic warden only one who's been stung on the arse on a sweaty day.

Belly-button.

Day after day we have to listen to this crazy moron spouting his crap. His rants unfortunately generate considerable attention, and no small amount of controversy, yet when challenged by an astute individual from down-under, he usually spits the dummy.

Dummy-ducking is a game we used to play after the netball match had finished. I can't remember the rules as it is so long ago but it was quite good fun.

(Going back to the last legitimate item....)

Continued exposure to inanity causes some of us to lose our cool. Let's all take a deep breath, count silently to ten, and get on with the show.
