I think I'm starting to show my age.
It's manifested itself most recently in the form of acronyms, and I've reached the stage that recalls fond memories of my grandad - I just smile wanly and nod (mind you, towards the end he was brewing some sort of liquid dynamite in the washouse, we discovered this too late, but it explained a lot). I know it's not even worth asking, that in itself is an admission of being uncool, of senility, ignorance of popular culture and probably a leaking trouser leg.
First off we have Steve and Robbo and their SORN, I thought that was a meat substitute but I smiled and signed the petition anyway. Steve TTTTD that is, - see there we go again. Before you can say get your FHMBC off to your MP's someone is telling us that they're LMAO.
Many posters seemed to have changed their name to Lawrence.
Someone asked me recently RUF2T? Jesus-arse-crumbling-Crist, I know I felt pretty rough at the time due to the special offer on London Pride that Unwins were running, but there was no way that they were to know that and besides, what about the 2T bit. A pot of Earl Grey for two? Not on top of Fullers surely?
Now we all know what GBH is, and I've reluctantly got my head round YUPPIES, but YAMS (young arseholes on mopeds) and SH*TS (surburban homosexuals in town to swing) is just taking the p*ss if you ask me. SH*TS, I mean, really.
Before you can say MIDGETS (mentally inferior divorced guys expecting terrific sex), the whole damn things gone down the pan.
As for these myterious holes they're digging at Le Mans, I blame it on John Evans III. It's just too much of a co-incidence don't you think? We have a Texan on site in June, and by the end of the year there's heavy ground investigations going on. It must be oil they're after, he's given them a tip-off, pretty soon there'll be nodding donkeys there (and I don't mean people like me, faced with acronyms).
Although I did see Andy Zarse in that area as well, and we've all seen Quatermass and The Pit...
