Bollocks! It was a great banter, good to renew a few acquaintances and put a few more faces to names, but it's just turned sour. There was a speed trap coming through Four Ashes, the Fokkers got me! Anyone else?

Thanks MJG, I knew what the Jäger bit was, but not the bomb part. Next question: Why?

Tent and sufficient camping gear for a minor expedition loaded into car, although if the weather stays like this we might not be using it. Options covered though. I'm just sorting out some wine and re-bottling some beer. iPod loaded, it will still be on ‘shuffle’ but from a safe playlist. What's a Jagerbomb?

“It's a bit black over Bill's Mother's” seems to be quite widespread, why is it always Bill's Mom's? Blunt knives: “You could give yerself a nasty bruise with that.” Hungry: “I'm 'ungry as a Gyppo's whippet” or “I could eat a jed oss (dead horse) between two mattresses.” Thirsty: “I'm as thusty as a cactus.” Constipated: “I'm as clammed as a rook.” Shock: “Oh my giddy aunt.” Amazement: “Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs” or “Well I'll go to Brierley Hill” Brierley Hill (close to Dudley, notable for the ”Nine Locks”, of which there are eight) is often referred to locally as Brierley Bonk (bonk = bank = hill) but I've never once heard it said “well I'll go to Brierley Bonk”. And can someone please explain “You'll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute” ?

Well, it's the first time I've logged on for a week, 11 pages of new posts to skim through and I come across this. Rose has already mentioned giving notice at w**k on one of her visits to the unstable bar, and when we exchanged txt msgs a few days ago I said how nice it was to be out on the canals again and Rose said she was stuck indoors packing, so I had already put two and two together. No surprise whatsoever, took you long enough. Even so, to Cheshire~Rose and Postcode, best wishes from the Moles

He's keeping well out of this one. Anyway, I've now got a bl**dy awful song going around in my head with Carlt's alternative lyrics (which don't scan) and a mental picture of Janet trying to make the letter shapes. Thanks for that (I don't think).

Midlands: Give him what for = thrash him. Anyway, I only came in here because I thought it was something about Red Dwarf. What was his first name? Strike that, I think it was Arnold.

Problem solved You can expect the full contingent, although Vickimole thinks we've only been invited because you'll be wanting cakes
