The local vicar is called Roger. We often have a schoolboy snigger when Roger the Vicar is mentioned!

Thank Dubai Philip for bringing this to mind.

Credit Crunch - I think some breakfast cereal company have stolen that now!

Not a word, but a saying.

My eldest daughter was talking at me, as she does about things she wants. I said ‘You are like a stuck bloody record’. Now a record to her is something that someone try’s to beat. WR for example.

She came back down about an hour later, and I had to explain the whole record, getting stuck (or the needle getting stuck), due to a bit of dirt, dust or a scatch. I then had to show her one of my records. Fucking hard work it was, but until I said it, I did not think that sh would not have a clue what a record was!

You use it on cock.

I’m not sure what that means entirely, but I don’t think I do use it on cock.
