Home Depot sale's on grout might keep my boat afloat

But I'm gonna
Get some grout to grout the gap for less than a groat![]()

Practitioners of the occult;
If an oddball white witch
Is called a mad bitch,
A darker-hued spell may result.

I'm not saying that Rhubarb Commando is A C Bowden and vice versa.

Ever see then on the same stage at the same time?![]()
It's only ACB who comes from the podunk village, jj - I come from the up-market, highly civilised city of Lancaster, Lancashire, which is far removed from the stinks and stews of London (removed by better part of 300 good miles!)

Well, I tended to use the cellars of coffee bars and play washboard in skiffle groups.![]()
But, in any case, that was prolly a bit before your time in The Great Wen
And you're quite right: la politesse is the leit motif of our exponent of the sackbut (Thinks: Did he play in the Tittipu Town Band?)

Gee whiz, Commando, intellectual banter such as that is usually overheard only in downtown London.
