At the end of the day the elephant in the room will be holding a surgery. the issue of that is very clear and may I say, like, you will find I am an honest and true person, like, and to be Frank, you know, the moment will pass and, um whatever, like you know what I mean like.

How about the one shouted up the gangway by the passing guys off another ship ," Wey Hey Mun gore eny Geordies aboard "
Hi Robpage,
Remember the call from adjacent ships well, and the standard reply *No we were fumigated last trip*, only joking all you geordies ,, Keith Tindell
They used to shout back "Whites on Deck and Geordies down below.

A few years ago my car was stolen, it was found in a vacant council garage.
The thieves in this area just tell the local council they want to rent a garage and can they please have
a list of all the vacant garages so as to pick one.
They get the list and now stow there stolen goods in one of the garages.
The council and the stupid police know this goes on and do very little to stop it.
We have a look alike prime minister who used those words 42 times in one pre election speech. Problem is we have been going backwarsd ever since.Quote:
