Does the eBay advert tell us something about the posters on this forum?  |

Oh, I thought this was going to be an ornithology thread The opposite mistake was made by a lady whose letter i heard answered on the radio 4 programme "Feedback" a while ago. In it she explained that she'd been looking after her grandchildren during the half term break and in an attempt to show them that a more intellectual world existed away from pop music decided to introduce them to Radio 4. She'd switched on only to hear the words "tits like coconuts" as soon she'd done so. She switched off immediately and dashed off an epistle bemoaning the "dumbing down" of the BBC. The presenter patiently explained that had she continued to listen just a little longer after "tits like coconuts" the next words she would've heard would've been "sparrows like breadcrumbs" as the programme was advising people what to feed to wild birds in the winter! ;D |

When she were a lass, her sister (12 years her senior) told her a joke that she didn't get. My mum went to ask her mum, who was very religious and rather prudish, what the joke meant (this was probably my aunt trying to get my mum into trouble). Apparently my prudish grandma went bright red and said, "Anyone who gets that joke has a VERY dirty mind." |

Regan, did you win the Ebay auction for the Tits? And will you wear them to the match or are they just for private?

[That, my friend, is outstanding ;D Glad you liked it. Every now and then Feedback would air a listener's complaint that made me laugh. I liked this one from a Radio 3 listener: "When oh when can we return to using specialist classical music presenters on Radio 3? Recently we have had to endure retired newsreader Richard Baker, so-called "Drivetime" with Jeremy Beadle and now ubiquitous, repugnant, former politician David Mellor. What next? Paul Gascoigne's Opera Night?" |

Happy Days. |

No. At the time i was listening to Feedback regularly, i was working at IVC Technologies in the West Midlands and still driving rather than going on the train. This would make it 2001/2
Mr Beadle passed away in 2008 if memory serves.
