It was two guys with Irish names, Boyle and Quigley, something like that, originally.

Yeah, how could I be so wrong? First time for everything, I suppose.

I Googled it meself

1969 B&Q was founded by Richard Block and David Quayle and the first store opened in Portswood, Southampton



1979 Company went public; 26 stores in operation


1980 B&Q was acquired by FW Woolworth 1982
Takeover of FW Woolworth and B&Q by Paternoster, now Kingfisher



Bugger.

I swear this is true:

I am in the middle of taking B&Q (spit) to court!

They did not turn up for the last hearing...

I will tell all when the case is settled.

I tell you this McT...

B&Q thought it would be a pushover - they didn't reckon on smorgs representing someone as a 'Mckenzie's Friend' and researching legal arguments and precedents...

We'll see what happens at the next hearing.

smorgs Q.C.

I'll see you in my chambers...

I look great in wig, ermine and suspendeeees!

Hey boys...

I'm bored at work - made up a song for spendy, but please, feel free to join in...

(to the tune of 'I'm a Lumberjack' Python-stylee - as if you didn't know)

I'm a femernist and I'm okay
I shag all night and I bitch all day

everybody now:

She's a femernist and she's okay
She shags all night and she'll bitch all day



I slag off men, then eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shooping
And have a kebab for tea


She slags off men, then eats her lunch
She goes to the lavatory
On Wednesdays she goes shooping
And has a kebab for tea


I thank you!
