Morning

Is "stone mint" better than mint?

When is a "Grail" not really a Grail (or even remotely holy)?

Who decides what is "rare and underplayed" and how?

Does "big ticket" mean "some clowns with too much money and no idea bid each other up"?

When was "please can I have" officially replaced by "can I get"?

Cut me some slack, I'm nearly fifty and don't know what's happening ...

 

Metrosexual, is that someone who has sex on the underground? 

When did a strong black coffee become an Americano?

Living in Spain the continental kissing bit is very confusing, is it 2 or 3, left side or right side first, thank heavens my beard and smelling strongly of garlic and/or alcohol stops any of them getting too close.

Recently seen a Mint+ graded record, can't quite get my head around that one, which is also a bugbear, as the users of the get my head round it line are usually ones that I'd like to kosh and thereby show them how possible it is to get your head around something.

I'll kiss you Dave just the way you are! Just NO TONGUES!

Apologies if it's been done before, but I couldn't see it for the tears of laughter - but doesn't "ripe for reactivation" mean "I've got a few copies of this to shift"?

 

It can do, but another meaning is - First time I've heard this

But what does it mean? It makes no sense to me, unless it's dubious?

Nothing dubious mate - 

(From Google) Metrosexual - A heterosexual urban man who enjoys shopping, fashion, and similar interests traditionally associated with women or homosexual men.

......that's me that is - Not sure what the 'interests traditionally associated with' are - But I like shopping / and fashion (my own that is)......

No wonder the wife (Nina) loves me 

Great word though init?

Doesn't work for me then, I hate shopping, I'm with Oscar Wilde on his thoughts about fashion (“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” ), and I doubt if anyone on the planet has similar interests to me.  Leave me alone in a corner with a ball of string and I'm content for hours.

Given that it's a tradition with all forums that new members MUST resurrect at least one dead thread...

So... Basically... I'll resurrect this one dreckly...

(Dreckly is Cornish vernacular dialect, it means Directly)

So... Basically, you're plumbing has broken down and your kitchen is a foot deep in water and getting deeper, you phone the plumber who states 'I'll be over dreckly', which could mean in the next hour or the next six months!

Basically It's a Cornwall thing, you probably wouldn't understand!
