Broad Shoulders

They are quite blatant about it too, they have big signs on the side of the road outside shops saying "SPAS"

Yehp that is suprisingly common..... Not aimed at me I hasten to add.... From having lots of Teenagers around the place.

I like the trucks driving around with 'Frigmobile' on the side ... I mean, THINK of the children.

I find the word mong is used way too much. Don't think people really understand what it means.

Same as "bugger me", I usually reply with "not now I am busy" or "are you sure I am a big boy". Cue blank stares.

Lord_Farquar

I reckon there are loads of naked women and waterbeds in the back of these "frigmobiles".

Broad Shoulders

scary thing is that they probably are

I was at a service station the other day parked behind a van with the company name in massive foot high letters

"MUNTER"

Was the driver an ugly barsteward?

"You Berk!" is also used without thought for it's origins.

Well stacked cargo has to be a good thing.

(edit) They are called Prime Movers, maybe they could be renamed Prim Movers and only allowed to transport ladies with skirts below knee-length and a distaste for absent-minded dabbling.

I fear we have drifted off-topic ...

Whatever happened to thos chocolate bars?

DeadVim

Had a hazelnut in every bite as I recall ... I could use a Topic now or maybe a Double Decker ...

I took my dog for an hour long walk today. It was lovely. 25c, overcast, but still nice. Lots of birds in the air and in the fields and my dog had a great time jumping in the lakes chasing the ducks.

I took my dog for an hour long walk today. It was bloody awful. 25c, overcast, but with 80%+ humidity. I got back home and looked like I had been for a swim I was that soaked in sweat. Despite being covered in tropical strength mozzie spray I still managed to get two more bites to add to my collection. I then had to spend 10min checking my dog over for ticks to make sure he doesn't drop dead overnight and then check my ankles for any leeches I might have picked up.

Both of those stories apply equally to my walk today. How you feel about your general lot depends on how you report the story.

You can tell the difference by looking?

That's like saying you can tell the difference between an Englishman and Scotsman by just looking at them.... ignoring the fact that one would be wearing a skirt and strangling a tartan octopus.

DeadVim

Is that a euphamism in the school of 'choking the chicken'?

Dreamy

Very true..

Its a bit like the start of a relationship - all those lovable characteristic foibles which are completely endearing turn into deliberate attempts to provoke justifiable murder involving a skewer, a turnip and a pint of canola oil.

Or is that just me?
