What's In A Name?

[Oldsparkey]

If a laxative manufacturer branded it's products with names such as "Crap Blaster" or "**** Shifter" for instance, you'd know exactly what you're buying, but would they sell?

Imagine walking into Boots and asking the young lady for a packet of Crap Blaster please. Despite the name describing exactly what it does, I doubt their sales would be very high.

We are therefore lured by deception with gentle names like Dulcolax, Movicol and Andrews Salts.

So it is with what's euphemistically called football, especially at Cardiff. Somewhat more expensive, but the best laxative on Earth.

(Yes, it's Friday)

Watching the City is the worse two hours of my week.

But I still go back for more. Like us all I am addicted.

Extra thick pants tomorrow then.

I'll ring the club shop and suggest they buy in branded double incontinence pants. They should do the trick and hold back the tide for a couple of hours.

Perhaps they can do numbered and named ones. Don't think I'd want to buy a number 2 though.

Justice has been done and serves me right.

I posted ths "Friday" thread early yesterday morning and haven't been off the pan since. I've either had my backside on it, or my head down it calling for Hewey.

Apparently some 24 hour bug going around that found both me and the wife - she's been living in the upstairs bathroom whilst I took residence in the ground floor bog.

Don't know right now if I can trust my backside for a couple of hours this afternoon at the CCS. I'll pop another couple of immodium and see where I'm at come lunchtime.

Apparently there's a lot of this about - anyone else had this bug lately?

I think it's a load of sh**e

Found a large cork, so I think I'll chance it. Just hope we're not 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go.

If you see something rising into the evening sky from the Granstand - the cork didn't work.

Hope the cork survived the match. If so, must have been a heavy duty one or perhaps superglued in place.

 

[SussexBlueBird]

Must have been one of those screw in jobbies

 

[Oldsparkey]

It was touch and go guys, but held out OK thanks.

Must admit I had visions of that Nyatanga bloke when Bond stuck that compressed air capsule down his throat....

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Not a pretty sight. Btw, doesn't Nyatanga play for the Wurzels?

I think it was Kananga in Live and Let Die.

 

[Oldsparkey]

my bad Bluey. It was Kananga not his brother Nya - just looked it up (Jayne Seymour never did it for me though).

I think Bond's handling of the situation in that scene was the origin of the term "Anga management".......

Thinking about it though, I bet the wurzels would take him on right now instead of Nya. They need a new Mr. Big at the back.

I think Jaws would be a good centre back option for them right now. If he couldn't head the ball he could catch it his mouth and spit it out to a team mate - unless he bit down and burst it!!!

Either that or Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson (Halle Berry) or Paris Carver (Teri Hatcher). Bromide in the tea of our players so they don't distracted as well.
