on the bus the headline on someone's paper said ROYAL FURY AT THE BBC!! What was this about?

I am surprised that in your fevered state you did not read it as FURRY ROYAL AT THE BBC!!

The Metro today sez that someone haf left a bottle of GIN outside the gates of yer palace - so if anyone wants FREE SPIRITS hooray cheers cheers for les royalistes say I.

Maybe it was my old college roommate Laura who left it there. I'd lost track of her and then a few years ago one night on the news I saw her being interviewed outside the palace, saying she had a bottle of gin she wanted to give HM for her birthday. I'll try to swing by the British Embassy tonight and see if anyone's left flowers or...other forms of tribute.

I was hugely disappointed that on-ferry crooners Father And Son (the last people in the world not to have heard of grunge!) did not sing "Father And Son". They struck the right mark of QM respect though with their version of "Hey Baby" by DJ Otzi.

The ferries to Ireland have bands called things like "The Shankhill 5" or "The Canary Wharfers" playing Whiskey in the Jar and a million songs about Johnny O Hooley who died for Oiiiiiireland on a cold December morn after fighting the crown.

three years pass...

Can this thread be for other unfounded fears than royals/ferries? I seem to have this remote yet niggling sensation whenever sitting on a swivel-type office chair that my weight (not excessive actually) might make the seat give in and make the stem SPEAR MY TORSO in an unpleasant manner.

six years pass...

I have still have a residual fear from childhood of being sucked into and torn up by the gears under the escalator if I don't step off in time.

This happened once. Then a doberman pinscher got ahold of one of his torn-off hands and choked on it.
