Fester's cut his head again - this time on an oak twig whilst removing our rotting front fence. He asked me to fetch the hammer to get a nail out and by the time I got back with it he was bleeding.

Squireen get him a safety helmet
Bentonbag He'd find a way of damaging himself on that

Felix has caught a pigeon.

He has absolutely no idea what to do with the poor thing apart from chase it until it attempts to fly.

It wouldn't be so bad if he had the wit to eat it.

That bastard Fester is frying bacon! I must go ...

KW Hangover or diet?

Bentonbag Greed


This time last year the Kingsmen celebrated their 70th Anniversary with a weekend of dancing and drinking.  We told Thunderthighs he was welcome to come along to any of the dancing or gatherings in pubs and meet our old friends, but he preferred to behave like this.

Yesterday Thunderthighs chose to come into the Bacchus, shout and leave - much to the consternation of those who know him (other than his parents).


Discussing this with his father this morning I ended my comments with "Twatt!"

"Harsh but fair" was the reply

Why harsh? What would you call it then?

"Pillock"

What's the difference between a Pillock and a Twatt?

"A Twatt has more of an air of menace about it"

 

So there you are: etymology as well as entomology.

McChurch I just wrote that down for future reference. I think "Ya tube" is at the level of "Pillock" on the scale. (For cultural balance).

Bentonbag We also decided "Wazzock" was at the lowest end of the scale.
