Thread Name: BS: Armitage Shanks
Subject: BS: Armitage Shanks
It's 0140 hours BST. I am on nights and bored so beware of some deep meaningful thought processes...

I just went for a pee and realised that possibly the most popular bit of grafitti on urinals is 'Armitage Shaks'. What I wonder is -

1. Who is, or was, Armitage?
2. Why does he Shank? and
3. What the hell is shanking anyway?

Makes you wonder doesn't it.

I also passed a wagon on the way in tonight that proclaimed 'Curbishley, Builders'. Why should they build things curbishley? Is it a real word? If so I thought it would have been more suited to late night antics anyway. You know - 'He crawled home from the pub, curbishley...'

Ah well. Back to the grindstone I suppose.
