Morning all!
I've got the strangest sore throat! It's sore around the top at the back and breathing is difficult through my nose!
Am I turning into a mouth breather?!

Quite common in prostitutes who deepthroat whilst dehydrated:

Is there something less trivial you'd like to confess to Poley?

That's funny! It's never happened to me before!
I'll make sure I drink plent of water in between jobs!

Someone was just saying they were in the pub garden at near midnight on Friday when last orders were called. The beers were bought and a taxi ordered but there was to be a half hour delay until the cab arrived. The staff at the pub said not to worry and stayed on until the last drinker was away.

My, how times change.

In the seventies I suggested going to a pub some distance from home I’d read about. So off we all went and had a pleasant evening until the landlady called last orders and time very close together just before half past ten. As she came round collecting glasses I said,

“Would it be all right if took a few minutes to finish our pints? We’ve come a long way specially to visit your pub.”

“No. Drink up and fk off or I’ll set the dog on yer.”

We didn’t go again.

Replied, 'too sore - here's a large pole for yer mangina'

...


Morning folks.

I trust all is well. The weekend was fun. I did the big Cambridge cycle ride ( well, only the iddy biddy 50 miles one ). It was good fun.

Isn't all the pre race guff terrible? I usually have it on on mute just in case they get Lee doing one of her excellent driver interviews but aside from that I'm usually browsing PH before the race starts!

I record it then fast forward through the crap unless something catches my eye.

Lots of running around to do today.

unfortunately my mother in law lost her fight with cancer yesterday a week short of her 75th birthday

She was the exact opposite of a comedy mother in law, she was lovely and was a big part of my life for the last dozen or so years.

Sorry to hear that, chap.

I too have been very lucky with mothers in law and dismayed when they left us.

ApO - switch to Less Defensive and read it again. You said Prince William was wearing a bulletproof vest and ali asked if anyone was surprised.

That is to say, irrespective of whether he was or wasn't wearing a bulletproof vest, no one would be surprised.

Yes? No?

Were you really surprised that your future king was wearing some form of protection while making a high-profile public appearance in today's politically turbulent times?

[DickyC]

That was odd. I thought I'd have a cup of coffee and then I thought, no, yuck, that'll be too sweet.

I'm now having a coffee with less sugar than usual.




Yeah, well done, Einstein.

I'm not surprised. Was there something I should be surprised about? If I knew about it, it wouldn't be a surprise!

Eat your heart out Immanuel Kant.

Yee-eesss. Spotted that as it went by. Wrote five versions of my instant witty response and then thought discretion was the better part of valour and did nothing.

Don't forget, Idiomatic English has been moved to four this afternoon in the Scout Hut.

Sorry my friend, with your imperfect German I assumed you were an Englishman living in Germany!
