Poohs are my favorite, HIAMA

I believe they're common on airplanes as well. :wink:

Ah, Auntie Lowan, I have a question, er, a friend of mine has a question concerning the use of air freshener and if it is considered poor taste to carry such around in one's purse, knowing that one's company for the night will be terribly trying on one's olfactory nerves, as well as other nerves elsewhere in the body.....
Your answer will be greatly appreciated and I will tell my, er, friend forthwith, as she is waiting impatiently to hear your wise and witty answer to this slightly off-color question about one of the body's quite normal, really, functions, as we all know that we all do it at times, don't we? Well, not that I EVER do, but then I would never do such a thing, would I? No, no, of course not, not I; um, please excuse me while I go for a short walk--it's getting a little close in here.

Ah yes, Auntie Lowan, the friend shall be buggered and corked. I just needed a little pep talk.
BTW, how does one bugger?

Buggaring is a fine art, Diane. Known only to some.

from Merriam Webster dictionary :-

Standard

As for buggering what's wrong with a nice fish :-

Fish Buggering for Fun and Relaxation
by Gilbert Smallpiece
Gone are the days when fish buggering was reserved for the aristocracy - with Gilbert Smallpiece's revolutionary methods anyone can now enjoy this rewarding pastime which, contrary to popular belief, does not require a licence or permit in the U.K.

I think we need a new subject.

Soap bubbles? rainbows? bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens? brown paper packages tied up with string...

<sigh>yes ! Once again, the evil men and wimmin who lurk in uniform in London's stores.

I have been looking to buy air conditioners for my house for quite sometime. The split unit ones are pretty expensive so I decided to go for mobile ones. Went to the B&Q store, selected the ones which I wanted and before buying wanted some information on them (re venting). SO asked a guy - who said that an expert will be with me soon. I waited for 20 mins an no one came. So I went to the customer service desk and the dialogue went like :

Me : Does these units require permanent outside ducting ?
Customer Service : Ask the expert - he should be there somewhere
Me : I have been waiting for him for 20 mins
CS : Does it say on the box that the a/c requires one ?
Me : No, but....
CS (before me finishing off my sentence) : Then it does not. Next pls ?

So I went to another woman..

Woman : Can I help you ?
Me : These a/cs.....

Phone rings. She picsk up her phone and starts talking to her friend abt dinner plans while I am standing there !!

So I call the customer service manager of the store and tell him, "I would have bought 4 of these air conditioners for my home, but becase of the attitude of that woman (pointing towards the gal at customer service) and this woman (pointing towards the gal on the phone) I have decided to take my business elsewhere

And walked off in a huff !!!
