The only thing is you have t eat it quick. The cheese sauce is molten at the outset but as it cools it solidifies until you're just cutting through hunks of rubbery cheese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke was that she was asked on the radio "what's your name and where are you from?" She missed the first part of the question and replied "I'm fay Fife." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 One of my favourite sets of books is Spike Milligans War Diaries. Only during reading these did I realise a wireless was called that because it was wire less. Previous radios had been connected by wires between posts, and then the new ones arrived, that were wire less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live with a guy who took this a step further and was surprised to learn that it wasn't Spag Bowl. I guess he was just used to having his spag in a bowl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like how it is pronounced. It's no wonder the boy couldn't find the place, nobody understood where he was looking for. Add to that, Edinburgh does this thing where they have two street names on the same street. There is Sciennes and Sciennes Rd. Built on this corner is Sienna Gardens. Delivery drivers and others always getting lost around there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) We've got way too deep in what has been an enjoyable topic to not raise the question of what the OP thought the boy Parker Junior was saying in the song about busting ghosts of the extremely popular film of the time that took him so long to get that "busting makes him feel good?" What went on for the about 40 yeas the film and song was a hit was he even thinking? Edited November 14, 2023 by Big Gus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
