Well I was wondering what he might have been watching with those
binoculars
and recently becoming sticky... although maybe its a bit soon for
bikini watching. ;-)


Depends if the binoculars are powerful enough to reach over the English
Channel.

The weather in the North of France is similar to English weather.


But the French are more likely to get their tits out.

And if you got big enough binoculars, maybe you could se the South of France?

"Sticky stuff remover".

Ok, but I've never heard of that before. Handy to know though.


They stopped selling it about 5 years ago ...


Like hell they did.

I hadn't heard of it before, but Robert Dyas sell two brands. (I
wouldn't have thought it would be much use for the rubberised binoculars
in the original post, as it's the rubbery stuff itself that has gone
sticky, rather than sticky stuff on top.)

I thought it was just so it wasn't the rude one that the censors wouldn't allow on telly. Ball and Barf are not rude words by themselves.

Is this a reverse euphemism?

The trick is the more it's said the less rude it is generally speaking
because there is less shock at hearing it.
Amonst my friends the word **** has 2 main meanings .

1/ a midely annoying person that of they were more annoying you'd call them a ****.
2/ a type or slap either verbal or physical.
