OT Matchbox cages and things.

Today I was asked if I knew anybody who collected that sort of stuff by
a bloke who used to work for them. He reeled off a gert long list which
included references to boxed mint limited editions and full sets of
things made from pewter. He wants to out it, for a price obviously but
to a genuine enthusiast rather than as an investment opportunity to a
"fine art collector". Why he thought anybody in ukrm would fit that
description I cannot for the life of me imagine. Anybody interested?

 

steve auvache () gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

The prices for that sort of thing can range from absolutely unbelievable to
three quarters of sod all, depending on factors beyond the ken of mere
mortals.

A neighbour of mine does some collecting, buys through a specialist online
auctioneer - vectis.co.uk. It'd be worth your mate talking to them, I
reckon.

 

I don't know why, but the use of "cage" instead of "car" really irks me.

 

"Extracting the urine" gets my goat.

 

Me? Read? I think not.

 

Sucking his keyboard for inspiration, ogden typed:

"Gets my goat" boils my piss.

 

"Boils my piss" gets up my nose.

Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
river cleaned out in a day.

 

Shit in the carbs.

 

Is that noun or a verb?

 

Neither it's a preposition.

 

Pronoun, surely.

And a proposition.

 

It's mostly seen in the excuse section of a post:

"Went down to <some do or other> to meet Fred (in the cage because me
mum had the bike in bits on the kitchen table)..."
