Can we bring in consecutive life sentences for dring driving just for Dumpster.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 10:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Not even the first time, as far as I'm aware. There was a paragraph about him in the Private Eye I just threw away, and it mentioned his previous excuses including eating pears in wine sauce.

he ate 459, and his distended tummy stopped the steering wheel from turning properly

Do not mock the potency of pears in wine sauce nor that of lamb in a red wine jus.

Surely things cooked in a red wine sauce have all the alcohol boiled off though. Can you get drunk from eating loads of beef in ale pie?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 11:21 (twenty-three years ago)

It's a red wine jus.

What's that when its at home?

In fact there should be consecutive life sentences for working for Associated Newspapers.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 11:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Or any newspaper?

haha quoted in a 1931 letter to w.b.yeats from his wife george:

"The lamp of course consumes lamp oil, paraffin. What in Heaven's name else would it consume? Its very form shouts paraffin oil: you could surely not have imagined that it demanded Santuary Oil, or olive oil."

I conclude yeats wz sometimes a bit of a dick

And just 30 odd years before his lamp would have been ful of whale oil.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 11:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I refute that and conclude that Yeats' wife was an idiot.
