    I have a thing at present about the word 'flange'.
    It such a beautifully rounded word with no spikey edges and has a wonderfully soft centre.

    Are there any words within the English language with which you have a certain penchant for?

    I actually like the word Beel too.

    It's short, simple, has a bookend structure and also gives a wee hint of perpetual process.

    Quite like the sound of PENNYWELL it conjures up pictures of copper coins and fairy wishing wells

    For some reason the word Euthanasia has just popped in my head. No idea why, but it sounded like a good word in the circumstances.

    Bloody hell Comm, after reading Relic recounting his days in the Fulham End, maybe Roker Park should be re-named The Cottage! <yikes>

    Bizarre, mate, to say the least.

    Sadly not. It just exploded out of nowhere. Amusing though.
