    She's a bonny lass, and not backward in coming forwards, so she was bound to do well.

    I'm a choking Geordie - too much talking while eating!

    I feel we may be losing people who don't understand the sub-regional context. Maybe instead of saying 'hung like a monkey' (which god knows how people will take - maybe they think a monkey is really well hung! Which it is in context) we should say 'capsized like a canoeist', a canoeist from seaton canoe.

    B

    p.s. I've lost them completely now!

    If people don't know me well enough by now to realise there's more to the phrase than appears at first blush, then they never will...
