One parrot for Tyre Tread please.

Forgive me but I don't get the 'whoosh parrot' thing, I guess it's something to do with someone saying it before? Or is it 'whoosh' over someone's head (as in the don't get the joke/reference)?

It's an "I didn't get it" (but normally "you didn't get it", used as a lampoon).

Tyre Tread didn't understand the reference (and is apparently unable to use Google or a similar search engine... )

And one of my favourite quotes is just before that, "YES! It's an extender".

One yank. Gone.

I'd go into the nearest Marks store and actually try some on... .

hadn't even thought about them until you mentioned. upon looking they don't seem to have much choice. I was looking at NEXT, they don't have them in store (I checked today), but I can order them online and get it delivered next day to the store for free, then give it back to them if it doesn't fit.

Yes it's a struggle to find shorts for sale in store at this time of year. Getting shorts delivered to the store is a good option.

I went into M&S in Newcastle and asked "do you sell shorts?"

the lass said "way aye, d'ye want lang sleeve shorts or short sleeve shorts?"

What gives a horse an erection?

There he was in his muddy field chomping on some sparse green shoots with his schlong standing proud all over the place.

I never get that excited eating my dinner

You're eating the wrong thing, my friend.

I imagine a horses boner could be caused by any manner of things, in a similar way to most young blokes - the thought of a pretty lady's fun socket, a brisk wind across the bell end or a piece of falling masonry. It's sexual science.

"Falling masonry"?

You're not one of those chaps whose business it is to demolish buildings are you?

I went out with a libertarian once who said she wanted me to come upstairs and break her fireplace. Maybe something to do with that?

When people say there has been so many MM of rain fall, how is that measure exactly?
Is it over a metre squared, or what?

Doesn't make any difference. You can use a water catching device of any constant area, you are only measuring the height.

So it wouldn't matter if it was a bucket or a paddling pool, the answer would remain the same?

Cheers for the answer, though.

As long as the sides were vertical.
And as long as the paddling pool wasn't so enormous that it was sunny and dry at one end but raining cats and dogs at the other.
