re WinkyWinkola - did you ever listen to "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" when they have to say unconnected words, and are knocked out if the audience laughs or there is a connection with the previous word ?

Only ask because I remember someone saying "Moist" as one of the words and the audience erupted - it was the way he said it, but for the life of me I cannot remember who it was!

(must go and find the torrent of ISIHAC - there's about 8 GB covering 30+ years, so maybe next year I will have found which episode it was!)

Over in NZ the residents of "Muff Road" asked their council for a name change as the street sign was always being nicked.

Cacophony and turgid.

I have to telephone a company and ask for Mr Cock occasionally for work and I have to try really hard to not giggle when doing so.
