Hey! Bert and Alistair it is great discover that you are English (British, if you prefer) I am from Bournemouth and we have colloquialisms coming out of the ying yang! I just spoke with my sister, who still lives there, she asked me to mention cushty, which you might know, Alistair, since you mentioned Only Fools and Horses, which is where Jan (the sister) heard the phrase. Bert, are you still in England or have you moved elsewhere? It is great to hear all these expressions, which I have long since allowed to rust! By the way, don't you think that the Austin Powers movie (new one) has a rather bad taste title? The Spy Who Shagged Me!!** Can't imagine the US releasing something titled The Spy Who Fucked Me. Or maybe, it won't be released in England, it's too horrifying to imagine, I am not a "maiden aunt" but .... really!
