  2. @tomgoy12 fuck you and goodbye
  3. @LarkinQuotes Home tutored nephew for a year. Taught English. He MEMORISED Whitsun Weddings. You can teach all 20C Eng Lit from this poem.
  4. @SharonMcG1971 good point
  5. @opheliasbrother Yeah, but 'Mary Kamikaze'?
  6. 'Portas Pilots'. Pff. I wish Mary's surname was Pontius. Then all these 'high street rescue schemes' would be called 'Pontius Pilots'.
  7. @EddieRobson I'm fairly sure you can get more bounce to the ounce from an alternative funk provider...
  8. @John_Ireland Cloche. As in cake cloche.
  9. @caracourage @NickMotown brilliant xx
  10. @caitlinmoran It's All In My Mind.
  11. @Andrew182651 Ha ha, that's brilliant. Exactly. Too distracted, poor stuff. Agree. Working at same time.
  12. @DukesFPM Wall-E. I've never seen it big, but love it. Though nowhere near as much as my grandson loves it. I'd bump work for that.
  13. Blowers! Horn! "Squee blee, my dear old daddio! Hurdle furdle bwarp-bwarp squeep! Beep! Bwee-wee, leg's gone to sleep! Matron, matron!" #jfs

  15. Oh and he's hubbeda wubbeda tish pish ga-blap through the covers for ONE TWO THREE FOUR pss tss t-tss simile bimmerly blam! #JazzFuckSpecial
  16. We now leave #CakeFuckSpecial to go 'Inside Geoffrey Boycott' . To follow the cricket, please retune to #JazzFuckSpecial
  17. We apologise for the brief reference to live cricket. Now back to Boycsy's fucking fixtures list for 1969, and how Sedentary Kills. #cfs
  18. Goggers: ‘Oh, and there goes a yellow trolleybus along my distant memory. Glinting in the afternoon gin, sorry, sun’. #CakeFuckSpecial
  19. Conversations about boxing. "Smell the cricket". Boycsy's STILL WEARING A JACKET. Yorkshire League memories from the 1960s. #CakeFuckSpecial
  20. West Indies under the cloche now at 136-6. They stepped up to the cake plate and ATE THEMSELVES. #CakeFuckSpecial
