As well you should, Mireyna. It places you with the TRF elite, my dear!

However, the rest of the world would throw us all in the funny farm if they knew!

7. Terry Newton (the good guy tosser). I'm honored to be amongst such heady friends.

I have such a reputation to live up to.

And I was just about to say; "No wonder we won the war against the British".

Toodle-do and pips?

Blimey them Brits can't speak a lick of proper English.

Never underestimate Terry, used in the right context they can spark terror in the fiercest enemy
The Scots go into battle with bagpipes, the English on a barrage of toodle pips, I may be wrong but I think it is the Paras motto

I heard once that the French rereated from Trafalgar following an intense barrage of Toodle Pips!!!!!

In the Somme, the Germans crumpled under the electric "What Ho"s.

Funny how that term has a different meaning down south. Never gave the crust a thought when serving.

My goodness!!!

The general brutish behaviour of one so droll, bothering our beloved nanny regaling her with his "hillbilly" ways.

Never in one's life, Martin!

Nanny tells one that this maladjusted explample colonial thuggery was quoted as saying to her "It ain't just my neck that's red darlin', wanna peek?"

Well I never. Poor nanny came over all funny and found herself in a real tizzy!

How terribly queer, poor Nanny, its so difficult getting the right help these days, we don't want her upset. Just make sure you keep the ragamuffin away from the horses, they do scare quite easily
