    True - I had a debate with an old geezer who tried to push into an airport check in queue ahead of me - he was all new agey "like why be so heavy about it man, does it really matter" so I informed him if it was really of so little consequence I couldn't see why he needed to be ahead - and retook my original place in the queue :-)

      Which part of "Excuse me" was so difficult to understand...

      "Yo! Bitch! F--k off outta my mothaf--kin' way! BITCH!!" is, I think, the latest idiom.

                I was up at my parents the other day and got one of their unsued phones talking to the other Dect compatible phone. Anyway I thought I'd make a note on how to do speed dialling on it for them. It comprised just two steps.

                1. Press the [draws the icon] button until the name of the person you want to call comes up.
                2. Press the green [draws the icon] button

                Just to be sure I asked Mother to pretend she was phonmeing me...First thing she did was press the 1. key. D'oh!

                  It's called Droopy Drawers, and is supposed to be macho. But it looks blatantly gay to me.

                  (But then biker leather gear and whiskers like a walrus used to be thought macho ..)
