From: GUEST,Sapper, waiting passing Dick Pickle at Greyr After reading LTS's much deserved and well earned Knicker Flash (See UMRA) about Limpet, I must say that t'other month, when we went to Emma's (15yo) parents evening, t'other half & I were reduced to wishing one of the teachers would say something bad about her! She is viewed as being a delight to teach, accademically brilliant and generally leaves Val & I wondering where we got her from. Also, 18yo has finished his 2y at Welbeck, dropped out of the MOD Scheme and got an apprenticship with Royces! Well done both of them!! |

From: GUEST,Sapper; Stuck in Oxhey's Loop, N. of Preston Rap, a "knicker flash" is used on the Usenet newsgroup ukmediaradioarchers (UMRA) to denote a boast about own, or offspring's achievements. Knicker is, of course, used in it's UK meaning of an item of ladies' underwear! Royces is Roll Royce, the aeroengine builders, and Welbeck is the MOD funded 6th Form College for future Engineering officers of HM Forces. He pulled out because he's more interested in doing rather than supervising. Apparently he got top score on the interviews!! |
