  5. I did that going to work on a bank holiday. As I approached the building I did think it seemed quieter than usual. Still, got my weekly shop at the supermarket with almost no-one else in there.
  6. The correct expression is welsh rabbit. Rarebit was added by toffs who didn't want to be associated with cheap rabbit meat. Welsh was added to nouns to mean a cheap or poor version of something ie: using your fingers to straighten your hair was using a welsh comb. Cheese was seen as a poor substitute for meat (rabbit, or otherwise), hence the name welsh rabbit. On a similar idea, many people think lunch is an abbreviated form of luncheon. Again, this is wrong - toffs wanted to make boring old lunch sound posher and created the ridiculous luncheon.
  7. So did I. Bad choice of name for those who prefer caramel logs. Time for a boycott, maybe??
  8. Little Feat - Fat man in the bathtub
  9. I thought the carol must've been about him dying seeing as they were singing about the last time he looked out (the window??).
  10. I was in my thirties before realising that the correct lyrics to the well known Christmas carol were: "Good King Wenceslas looked out" and not what I'd thought for years: "Good King Wencelas last looked out"
  11. The Ladybirds - Shimmy Shimmy Dang!
  12. I didn't think they were any great shakes but I didn't listen to a great deal of their stuff after being put off by a dodgy single they had in the charts. Their lasting legacy for me is that they influenced the music press to create the term, "sleeperbloke", when describing dull, unidentifiable guys in a band where there is a big image/character female singer.
  13. Surely nature would make sure his nob is pointing the other way regardless of the gravitational pull?
  14. Dr Phibes & the House of Wax Equations - Eye am the sky
  15. They'd certainly catch more than Grant Adam did last season. I'll get my coat...
  16. My wife has quite a fear of birds, even screaming out if one flies close to her. Anyway, we were watching a wildlife show about Antarctica and she says that she loves penguins, so cute etc. Me: "I thought you didn't like birds?" Her: "Penguins aren't birds". Me: "Yes they are". Her: "But they swim and don't fly".
  17. That is poor, Wilf. Especially from a man who showed in an earlier post that you can't spell fibromyalgia properly!! I think you should retract that sarcastic comment now - everyone arses up their spelling, especially when using a mobile.
  18. Me and my two kids nearly cleaned out by an old git who seemed to think it wasn't necessary to look left before turning right onto the A82 in Dumbarton. He was in a white Ford coming onto the A82 from Argyll Avenue. The southbound carriageway was empty so he decides to come out to turn right. Every sane person, of course, stops in the gap in the central reservation to wait for the northbound traffic to clear before moving out. Not this buffoon - just kept going and turned onto the northbound carriageway with me doing around 35-40 mph about 10 yards from the gap. I have no idea why I didn't smack into him - the brakes are obviously a lot better than I thought. I blasted the horn at him and there wasn't even an acknowledgement that he'd done anything wrong. The muppets are out there.
  19. My wife genuinely asked me one day: " Do you still get unicorns or are they extinct?"
