Toast

Agreed, I hate the way this word suddenly got hijacked, and is now assumed to mean the person one might be having sex with on a regular basis. What are we now supposed to call the person one runs a business with, or the person one might dance or skate with? There are perfectly good words like husband, wife, spouse etc, and for the unmarried, there are some lovely words out there like paramour and concubine. Bring those back, say I.

Got trashed at a wedding do last night, there was wine or lager: I hate lager and wine always gets me pissed, so easy decision there. Ended up at the pub where I insisted on buying everyone a drink, then remembered I had no money with me. I got round this by not getting out of bed till 3 pm.

If memory serves, he was the intended recipient of Harvey Smith's famous V gesture.

This was a magnificent effort, but obviously you'd need to pick your own song.

Was it your underwear and stockings he was wearing?

Talking of killing pigeons, this scene always creases me up.

Brilliant name.

Looks like it's just me, harry and doubtless that Armitage Shanks geezer that were aware of the great V O'B then. Oh well. Can't take credit for the smiley really, it's from here, and as you can see I was quite restrained .... Thanks for the offer of a knighthood, CR (what do you mean, minor!), but a Damehood, if that's the right word, would be more appropriate in my case

Aw, that's nice

I do, but it doesn't surprise me in the least that you don't.

Spot on, Vaagheid, my thoughts exactly and you expressed them very well.

More than one but less than two, then. Yeah, I'm sorry to see her go too, and I actually thought she might hang on to make three figures. She enjoyed herself though. Goodnight, Millvina - time to meet your Dad at last.

Assuming one doesn't get found out.

Eh?

It always amused me, when living in France, to see the advertisements for the sports chain "GoSport". On occasion one would see large neon signs atop city buildings; how unexpected to see GOSPORT emblazoned in lights across the roofs of Paris.

I feel exactly the same about weddings. Just decline the invitation, that's what I do. You can still get pissed at home.
