Have been searching high and low for a tin of cascamite glue powder.
Space under stairs very cluttered with childs trike, scooter, packs of
hardwood
flooring, rolled up rug, etc. Plus plastic bottle of PVA.
PVA took a tumble and cap came off. Probably more than a pint of it spilt.

I invented some brand new expletive combinations.

As one who as an apprentice was familiar with the regular means of verbal
communication in the maintenance fitters, capstain lathe, and milling
sections.
I am utterly certain that if I were to repeat any of my new expletive
combinations
in the presence of all of these fellows, they would as one, acquire runny
noses and
fall down to the floor and soil themselves.

Did you suggest your mother was having carnal knowledge of an unnatural
nature with the Pope?

Owain



You are warm but my dear old mum was not referred to and nor was the Pope.
The two characters that were mentioned were a nun and Popeye.

That's a new one on me.

What sort of nun was it - Julie Andrews, Dawn French, or Robbie Coltrane?

And had Popeye eaten his spinach?

Owain


It was mother teresa and Popeye doesn't just eat spinach...have I said
too much?
