    Ginger, gingernut, gingercnut, gingerbollocks take your pick really...

    I always pointed out that if I was black they wouldn't be so cruel, then again two of my black mates had (and still have) nicknames of 'chimp' and 'bongo' and it never bothered them.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I forgot 'duracell' & 'copperknob'... McVitie sounds quite quaint, did you go to a posh tolerant school?
