Josco

Witty, pithy and to the point.

Aaarrrgh. L P III beat me to it with a rather better and more succinct post. (Must learn to type quicker)

Not sure if it correct form to quote oneself, but I can't see why this chap has generated so much debate. Even my 13 year old off spring who, in the way of all teenagers, knows everything* about everything, is not aware of him. However, I am still rather enjoying it all. *Actually it's "Nowt about 'owt" (to be read in a Yorkshire accent)

Consider yourselves lucky that you only have two sets of twunts to choose from. Here in the UK they are ALL the same.

My mother always told me to be polite if I was ever a guest.

Both. Receiving pain & giving pleasure

You win then. I nearly got an o'level but was expelled before I could prove it. I still hold the record at school for the most beatings in one day though.

So lets see........... He is found in a manky flat, with a poor quality fire and ventilation, belonging to a friend........... And this is the PM, a prominent VIP type of fellow........... Could be suspicious.

Bruno I gather from your profile that there is only around 6 weeks between us. I am sure you will understand that another 34+ years (sardonic or not) will take me past my allotted 3 score & 10. Mrs Josco will be pleased!

T F H You are (all?) right in that ‘British ness’ is an amalgam of all those things (and not a little Roman influence too), but each time the noticeable changes were forced by war and invasion, the last of which was around 1066. Since then changes have been more evolutionary and less revolutionary.

is an oxymoron. Not to mention a butchery of spelling. I didn't want to 'over egg' the pudding!

I do envy those of you who can articulate readable, coherent and well thought out arguments. It shows that the other side has been considered and their arguments dissected and examined. I enjoyed Amanda’s comments in another thread a little earlier. It must be more satisfying than the cheap sarcastic, sniping, off the cuff, derogatory and 'full fat smug' remarks that some of us make with the aim of gratifying some hidden desire to be noticed. However, I must take issue with Mr Jackal’s comment. is an oxymoron.

Que? That's what dictionaries are for: Kate Mossed it. regards, Hein Ah.... Kate Mossed IT Not in my old battered copy of the Oxford Concise old boy. Thanks PS. Is Magere Hein dutch for Grim Reaper?

You know, it gets me down when I spend 20 minutes in the middle of the night trying to create a coherent, articulate post and then Mr. Teddy comes along and says the whole thing in a nutshell in only 7 words (3 of which consist of 2 letters or less). I thought both your replies hit the spot. Very good.

Que?

Gassed? With a MALE friend? Is that after a night of Beer & Curry?

We don't wish death on anyone , that's the point. (I could make an exception in the case of a one eyed scottish twunt, an MP @ No. 11)

Prostate Cancer The commonest form of cancer in males. It is estimated most men of a certain age die with, not of, prostate cancer. As Ray is only 56 I should imagine he could be on the list for many years in rude and robust health.

How do we know if the goat is a virgin? I mean Wales was mentioned in the same post.

That should give our colonial offshoots pause for thought.

I suppose it's a little late in the day to ask 'who'? Until this I started reading this I had no idea who Mr Doherty is, much less who the 'Libertines' are. Never heard of them, but it is fascinating stuff all the same.

35 Years. Are you sure? Is this a guess or some divine knowledge denied to the rest of us? Can I put some money on this (if you are correct) and hope that I will live 35 years to collect?

Mr Teddy, Are you casting doubt on the validity of my post? Having checked your link, I think that you are probably correct in doing so.

Are there any members out there who are famous enough to qualify for a place on the list? I could be famous enough, if you'd let me............ Please! (Could I have lots of money too!)

Not sure about Cassius, but Shakespeare is supposed to have 'popped his clogs' on his birthday
