I can't see how that was derived. Can you explain?

'The Sun' would have a headline like "Top Telly Tec Caught With His Pants Down" or some such salacious gossip like that.

Movie Quote Of The Day
 
Well, that's right, Professor Frederickson, and that all matter is made up of not only density but of empty space, and if we can proportionally reduce the amount of empty space in any given object, we can, thereby, shrink the object.
 
Which movie? Carry on Nagy. Big Grin | :-D

The Search For Paris's Brain?


It's well known that if all the cat videos and porn disappeared from the internet there would be only one site left and it would be called whereareallthecatvideosandporn.com

Moët & Chandon.
 
If you say 'mowey' then you're a pleb and really should stick to the Stella.
 
Also, what about Estrella, the lager from Barcelona. "Two pints of Es-tre-la please mate." Plebs.
 
And if you say Jalapeño with a 'J' you are a total and utter pleb.

I wouldn't argue with that.
 
Still, one needs to exercise caution. I once went here http://www.gilgameshbar.com/[^] in the company of some fit young ladies so cooly went up to the bar and demanded the Champagne List.
 
Alas, it was somewhat steeper than I expected and I struggled to retain my composure, but to save face I opted for the second one down list and was parted with £130. I must have been seen by the staff as a cheapskate as the ones further down went into four, and possibly five figures.
 
Came in a nice bottle, mind.

Rob Philpott.
