You'd be surprised how often I hear that.

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate

go and talk to the Catholics.

 

Alien Nation?

I don't think it'll be a problem after they have banned S019 from using
guns on the grounds someone might get hurt.

I think they should close the staff canteen as well. Hot tea can be very
dangerous.

 

Chief Superintendent Neil Mackay, head of Northumbria Police's
operations department, told Police Review magazine: "Everything that can
be done with a bike can also be done with a car."

What, including wheelies and stoppies?

 

Ginge!

Rusted and ropy.

Vintage and classic,
or just plain Jurassic:
all words to describe me.

Probably.

 

Those triffids didn't much like seawater either.

 

I'd like to see them filter through 24" gaps.

Twats. As if it's going to stop psychos doing their thang.
And this...
"But relatives of those killed in the March attack in the town of
Winnenden, near Stuttgart, are calling for an outright ban on pistols
and high-calibre weapons."

Wtf is a 'high calibre' weapon when it's at home?
Ignorant, lazy journalist shocker!

 

Indeed. Column in today's Guardian -- people who drink very hot tea
double their chance of oesophageal cancer. (Hmm, wonder if my cousin
used to drink very hot tea?)

Anything over about .22" ?

The use of 'high' strikes me as a total misnomer.

Large, certainly. But that's what all the girls tell me.

 

Oh, yes, in the film. But I think the quote was from Alien Nation.

 

Common phrase around here when the Plod sirens are heard... "Pies must've
come", so you're not far off.

Indeed, yes. I saw it just the other night.

 

Yeah, fair point. Large would be a much better word.
