THE BRITISH THREAD II

What you should remember smorgsie is that your launderette is an entrepreneurial activity and what with one thing and another keeping costs down is a high priority.

I have been in quite a range of Government establishments in my time and one thing I noticed was that if a tap was marked "HOT" it did produce piping hot water whenever it was turned on. Night or day. Everyday. All day.

Perhaps you could take advantage of this information and wash the clothes in your throw, a sensible word, in between interviewing the workshy.

Well I survived. Chelmsford and Writtle Agricultural college (beans on toast £3.50...can you believe that?) via Bishops Stortford. Knackered. Luckily my present on occasion of our anniversary was a large bottle of vodka. 55 miles. over and out.

At an agricultural college they should serve roast mangel-wurzels at least.

Or windfall apples.

Chelmsford, very average place, according to a statement last week.

the mangel wurzels were off. now I have to lie down or die, or maybe both.

It's getting on my tits that you boys don't seem to know what a throw is!

It's a thingy for covering thingymajigs...

Large pieces of material, usually edged with tassels, in a variety of weights and yarn, providing decorative cover for settees, beds etc.

Are we feeling all the better for being informed?

I knew. Am I not a boy?

Cranford!!! Sheesh.

I just watched 10 minutes for research purposes and it's drivel. Talk about cut and paste. I think they are only using one camera and it looked like some of the parts could have been shot in one afternoon for all their scenes in the whole series. A jigsaw type thing.

Stood beside the West Ham/Tottenham match it is pathetic in every department. For drama, for incident, for character, for colour, for spectacle, for everything. And with no cuts in the action apart from half-time. And no coasting.

Live action is where it's at. Taking what destiny unrolls. That's why sport is popular.

What time's Cranford on Muckty?

Is it 8?

No paper and can't be bothered looking on't in'tnet.

Muckty, you didn't perchance get The Times yesterday with the Egyptian poster did you?

I bought a copy but for complicated and boring reasons - it got wet.

Or anyone else?

Not you, suspenders, I know you will have bought The Sport.

That's bollocks, that '10 minutes for research'.

You've quoted too many scenes. Admit it, you were glued...

Why does it peeve you so, that we like Cranford?

What happened to live and let live?

Don't be a misery-guts! Slip into a nice pair of bloomers, and get your stuck-up self on't settee - with a brew.

I'd invite you round to mine - but I've had loads of sprouts for tea. Enough to levitate a throw - with you on it, probably.

Course you're a boy, Master spends.

A very naughty one!

Now come here and let's clean your face (smorgs spits into a lace hanky and rubs away at Master spendy's cheek).

Because it's feminist propaganda and alse because if ever we met we would not be on the same wavelength.

I have a theory that feminism is a male trick and I can back it up too.

Have you got the window open or are you marinading in an aura of self-satisfaction.

Feminist shmeminist!

I'm about to have a jacuzzi...

Care to join me?

Put your fag out first though, you'll blow us both to buggery!

And I could hold your attention as long as I wanted to.

Our annual Boxing Day Fart Lighting competition is just around the corner so to speak.

If you fancy entering I must warn you that our champ is going for a six-timer and is long odds on.

He eats a tureen of sprouts and drinks four pints of stout whilst hanging upside down in his warm up routine.

0 Replies

Are you entering?

Or are you just a fluffer?

Don't think I don't know what a fluffer is.

It is not a role I am qualified to fulfill.

Hey-- A round of applause to jespah for placing us where we belong at last.

I know what a fluffer is.....

Smorgs, you surprise me with your breadth and depth of knowledge.
