It's a new grid sensation!

Quite! - and while we're having a pop at the spicks, isn't the Italian battle flag a white cross on a white background?

Excuse my ignorance, but I thought Italians were Wops, Isn't Spick yet another Americanism that has crept into our language.

Spic = Hispanic

The usual answer in Maison Blanche, to "Would you like another beer?" was "Do bears sh*t in the woods/Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back? or Is the Pope Polish?"

What are we going to do now.

Just wait for Poland to be invaded, I suppose

You could try answering "Does the Pope sh*t in the woods?"

You could try answering "Does the Pope sh*t in the woods?"

Is this something you have come across while poking badgers? and if so, what was his view on your favourite past time?

Thinking along these lines it must  mean the bear is a catholic

[Andy Zarse]

Or is the Pope a grizzly Bob?

Whitey, I've never come across His Holiness, spoon in hand, at a badger poking event, though I'm sure he'd be in disguise if he did attend. But who's to say he wouldn't enjoy the thrill of the game? I mean, that crozier thing looks ideal for the job although I'd recommend he wear more substantial footwear than them crazy slippers Popes seem to favour. Those sharp teeth would be through them in a trice and one can only imagine the mess a badger would make if they shot up his cassock and became entangled in an altar boy.

It doesn't bear thinking about Andy. Maybe we could rustle up a couple of ferrets or perhaps a Jack Russell to sort things out, what the hell am I babbling on about? Is it possible that I have contracted some form of Commer infliction?

DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: In those robes?
DEREK: Yeah, right.
CLIVE: Didn't half give me the horn, that. Him lying there. He looked so f*cking vulnerable, didn't he? I mean, like, I c-, I couldn't prevent myself, you know, having a w**k immediately 'cause he looked-, he looked vulnerable, he looked at-, at rest and, er, somebody had, er, gone to the trouble of plucking all that hair out of his nostrils. I didn't fancy him when he was alive 'cause he had all this f*cking hair up his nostrils but when they'd, er, when the cosmetician had had a go at his body and that .....
DEREK: Well, I-, I gather, erm, he had a, you know .....
CLIVE: I got the f*cking horn in .....
DEREK: Yeah, well .....
