Saddam was a cnut but so were the Mullahs- their idea of mine clearance was to make the faithful walk across minefields trusting in Allah. Grim stuff. Did Saddam have another country he could've went to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even say he was a vegetarian and liked dogs. I prefer a bit of humanity in my despots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Back has one of those. Great car. Don't be fooled by the salesman talk about the range you'll get on battery though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Having burned my hand on a frying pan a month ago, snapped a tendon in my finger on Sunday, and the owner of lovely footwear, I’m beginning to think that I’m @Peter Grant . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I have successfully completed Saturday's Guardian cryptic crossword. This doesn't happen often. PTTGOYN: they stopped making it a Prize crossword when Covid struck and have continued this. Private Eye meantime let you e-mail in scanned crosswords and have £100 prize. Tight Guardian sods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realise I’d done it till I see my finger was sitting at a funny angle. Saying that, I didn’t realise I’d broken my wrist till I took my top off and realised my wrist was sitting at a funny angle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) My new squeeze enjoys this "I can see your voice" nonsense on TV.

Of all the news reports that were around this at the time, this is still my personal favourite: "Local councillor Anne Allen tells us: “Alex can go to the £5-a-head, all-you-can-eat buffet at the local Chinese. We can’t wait to have her here. Everyone’s very excited." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
