There's a thought, losing your cherry while having your oats with some crumpet?

The word ‘wink’ appears to have too many I’s or the dusky maiden from Bridgetown provided more than a bed bath.

Re: UK isms
My breakfast is, one and a half wheatabix, half a spoon of Sultanas, topped off with some rice bubbles, with Soy milk. After that it is open slather for dinner and a sandwich for tea.

Re: UK isms
Des, suggest you look for the lost Kilos, you may need them in the winter to keep you warm.
The waiter said how do you like your coffee sir.
Like my women, hot and strong.!!
Would that be black or white sir??
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: UK isms
Hi Tony
Be careful with the Sultanas, they carry a lot of Aspirin, I had to cut down on them after getting big bruises , I only had to hit something and a bruise came up, sultanas thins the blood. but bugger it I like them on my breakfast.
Cheers Des
