Tickles sat behind me at the KC for years, only I didn't know it was him until he after he'd died.

Funny really, as I'd had lots of meetings with him at the club and outside when he was trying to get the different fan groups to work together, but he never let on.
How old was The French Tickler? And does anyone know what caused his demise? R.I.P., Tickles. A sad loss indeed.
 
What
The Mrs is due home from work. She wants to go shopping.

Excuses please.
Whats wrong with using the old excuse of "Get to ****, it's a woman's job to go out and do the shopping. A mans job is to do other man type things, now off you toddle wench"

I think that one should sort it for you Ben...
oh and don't forget to let us know how the punch in the face went when you said it to her

Haha, I may think it occasionally but it's common knowledge that she had my balls a couple of years back.
 
Apropos the crumpet and pikelet debate: Although I'm fairly ambivalent towards the nomenclature of either breaded product, I am less intolerant towards the naming of the muffin. It's not an English muffin. A muffin is English anyway and cannot be confused with any other baked product. A muffin that's not an English muffin isn't a muffin at all, it's a ****ing big cup cake. Or a large bun. Or maybe a small plain gateux. But it's not a muffin so there's no need to deliniate another breaded comestible otherwise called a muffin as pertaining from any particular country, England or otherwise.


Just wanted to clear this up.

Cup Cake? WTF..... Why would you make a cake in a cup? What are you going to drink your tea out of if some idiot has but a cake in there first? Must be a big cup as well to get a full cake in. You wouldn't have seen Skeltons selling cakes in cups. How would they get the cream in the middle if it was in a cup ?

Me: "Good Morning Mrs Skeltons Woman, could i procure one of your finest cream cakes in a cup Please"

MSW: "Have you had too much to drink again. We can put a cake in a box or a bag, not a cup.
We are not one of those la de dah Pat-ass-ery places you know"

"Pat-ass-ery" ... Luv it. Just luv it! I'll be plagiarizing that, some time soon.
 
They call breadcakes buns in Grimsby. Weirdos.

A full fry-up in a breadcake was always called a 'heart-attack in a bun' when I did the Satdee morning Bun Run from English St.
Things evolve; I live in the land of the Stottie and you can get owt you want in them, bloody luvly.
 
I have it on good authority that the Missus has got us a nutribullet for Christmas.

Now, I got quite excited 'cos I believed this to be a high powered adult style toy as seen on a dirty Pulse and Cocktails leaflet what I found in a hedge but a bit of surreptitious Googling revealed that it is infact something called a smoothie maker.

Now I'm already a smoothie but I'm beginning to worry that the days of full English may be over.


2017. The year of the peach, grape, kale and flaxseed delight as Ernie's start to the day.

Commiserations :(
 
A reminder that not revealing a users personal details also applies to their family, especially when you describe his wife in such a derogatory way.

<laugh> In an earlier post I did think Barbara Galante didn't sound quite right.
