#37..... In Beira Terry! That's where the cops put me in a cell for a few hours to 'educate' me. It was okay for me to give the African wharfie a cigarette, but a white man does NOT light a black man's smoke!

Re: Duvet
After giving this most important subject more thought I have come to the conclusion that it all comes down to Ying & Yang.
The dreaded duvet cover must have been invented by a woman. If a man had invented it for men it would have a zip all the way around. The man could then instruct the woman to open it up, place the duvet inside like a sandwich filling and zip it back up. Male logic.
If you see Cappy trying to flog this idea on Dragon's Den let me know.
