Sorry it took so long to answer, been off up north for a bit of weekend R&R.
I think it's allowed! It's about time I tailed off on the current posting frenzy, actually (sighs of relief all round)....
Just having so much fun!
By the way, I have an uncle who lives in Toronto (boo hiss!). Stayed with him way way back, and we spent some time just a tiny distance north of there - Muskoka??
It was a great holiday.

shanks,
Yes, Gazza was the original "legend in his own lunchtime", wasn't he?
Could probably be called Five Chins these days.
P.S. I don't know why the page is called gazza.htm - must have some Brummie meaning of which I'm unaware.

being able to be able to fart recognisable tunes
That would certainly be a show-stopper!
Or would the "show-stopper" be a cork?

I hasten to clarify that it was not the lady herself who demonstrated this ability, she merely mentioned it as a dinner party entertainment.

In that wonderful saga "The Good Ship Venus", one of the mates (I think the third mate, in the version I knew) claimed that "For a gallon of ale / He would sit on a pail / And play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The mate's name, naturally, was Carter.

it was not the lady herselfBut of course it wasn't. Though if it was, methinks she would make a fine companion for Five Bellies. What's the equivalent of "Ladies don't sweat, they glow" for farting, I wonder?

>"loons"
I never thought of the pantaloon connection. Don't worry if you missed them, they'll be back in fashion before you hit your dotage. The thing about fashion is that everything seems to come round and round ... and round again.

The thing about fashion is that everything seems to come round and round ... and round again.On this assumption, I still have an excellent suit, bought in 1977 for my parents golden wedding, which has the most incredible flares, and lapels that make the suit dangerous to wear in high winds. Unfortunately, by the time fashion comes round, I fear I will have become round - to the extent that attire that was unbearable will have become unwearable.
