    wifey insists on keeping tiny baby clothes in their wardrobes. even though the kids are 2 and 4. she's a bit of a hoarder. i have to skip bits when she's out for any length of time.

    In the long run you will find it is cheaper just to put the wife in the skip.

    My Wife insists on saying any item will come in handy. Of course it doesn’t.

    Our cat was rescued from a skip as a tiny kitten, hence the name Skippy.

    Ah, but Skippy the kangaroo was not rescued from a skip.
    He was called Skippy because he bunked off school a lot (or 'hopped it' as we used to say).

    These.

    Apparently London has to have them because every other big city in the world has them.
    As far as I'm concerned rickshaws belong in the same category as shanty towns*, an army of rough sleepers and a sub-culture of slave labour - other things London also shares with most other big cities in the world, but is less keen to mention when touting itself to rich American, Japanese and now Chinese tourists.

    *Since the gentrification of public spaces and old working class housing estates began, London's slums are now mostly hidden in the back gardens of private rented £500,000 suburban houses, taking the form of unusually large garden sheds. It's a neat way to conceal a massive problem that nobody wants to address. Out of sight out of mind, right Mr Khan?

    Back to the OP.

    Anyone else got an aversion to rusty old spanners?

    I think a 'tuk tuk' is a rickshaw with an engine, like a modified moped/scooter or even a motorbike.

    I got in one once - on boarding it in Leicester Square my trousers were cream, when I got out at Charing Cross they had turned brown.

    rabbit vibrators, do the job better than I can. On the plus side, I don’t have to have sex with the old hound.
