I remember as a teenager a friend did me a copy on tape of an ACDC album, with a full track listing. Despite being handwritten, I am still going to classify the track "Meak streak" as a typo.

Songs guaranteed to be a flop - 'Bat out of Hull', 'Mild Thing', 'Portaloo Sunset'...

"jokes about stammering are a big big no no"

Movie titles for a sweet toothed audience - Stanley Kubrik's 'Chocolate Orange', 'the Guns of Toblerone'...

Brilliant stuff

We seem to have hit the buffers but those who still wish to play trains might be interested in http://traintimes.org.uk/map/tube/.

Some of them even pass through THAT STATION.

Are there still non-stopping trains on the London Underground these days? I thought that they were relics of the past.You could try the communication cord.

Enough with the pleasantries. This should keep you all in a state of limbo till the next lunar eclipse - and only provided the Wilmington-Fosset gambit is properly invoked (WITH the stirrup pump):

Belgravia House

Cripes (as we never said at school) I really must restart my altzeimers medication and hit the double dose vivitonin the nurses slip into my coffee, for missing that one.

I have made an emergency appointmtnt with my GP on Monday. How can I explain that mistake without embarrassment? Perhaps I will chicken out and request a prostate examination instead.

I am humbled to the point of misery in the face of such superior gameplay! Thanks for showing up my total inadequacy as a human being.

However as it is Sunday I will forgive myself and start the Sunday roast!

This isn't

My girlfriend is fed up with my constant wordplay jokes.

I asked her, "What can I do to stop my addiction?"

She said, "Whatever means necessary."

"No it doesn't," I said.

That's a perfectly OK move of course, but you seem to believe that spoons wild is constantly effective after 22 moves and when players have double barrelled names – have you forgotten the Lurksmith Clarification?
