When i was about 7 I was sent to a Catholic boarding school. First day in the playground I heard a new word and asked the nun what it meant. Fuck, that soap was horrible!
My story which gets the rounds at family parties isā¦
When I was at infant school my mum used to collect me and one day I asked if wanker was a rude word as one of the other boys had said it.
My mum said she had never heard it before so it should be fine as it just sounds like something the other boy had made up.
My dad put her straight when he got home after I merrily greeted him at the door and called him a wanker.

Nice. Take the tartan skirt with you. 
Classic look 
Timeless. Adidas sambas for daytime poolside activities / luncheon. Brogues for all other times.
Absolutely no flip flops / crocs / sandals or other low rent footwear for me.
Blokesā feet should remain encased at all times.

We used to have those, until we got a better thermostat. This one is wireless, and much more sensitive, so it keeps the temperature at an exact 20 within 1 degree or less. The old one used to allow it to get too cold, so sheād click it up to 22, then itād be too hot so Iād click down to 18, etc etc etc.
Now itās always just warmer than Iād prefer and just cooler than sheād prefer, but not enough for either of us to do anything about it.
