How grotesque is Anne Robinson btw?! She pollutes the screen nowadays and is offensive to eye and ear. Get rid and I might start watching again but even then it would be high odds against. This dross has had its day and no mistake.

I love that technically we should be 'fneezing' not 'sneezing'.
The 'f' was misread as a long medieval 's'. A 'fneeze' has just the right sound of a blocked nose and a snort.

Wilfred's big money Escalado games with Queenie tipped him over the edge financially, and he never fully recovered.
Still, the cash enabled Queenie to bankroll the Sex Pistols in their formative years. Little wonder she became known as the Queen of Punk whatever Siouxsie Dent of the Banshees might have to say about it. Even now all these years later, former Sex Pistols Ronnie Beastly and Ken Putrid stil pay Queenie 10% of their gross earnings.
Psssst Nick, I'm not being entirely serious. Wilfred's big money Escalado games with Queenie tipped him over the edge financially, and he never fully recovered.Still, the cash enabled Queenie to bankroll the Sex Pistols in their formative years. Litt
I was going to add in my previous message that you might not be serious because I remember her being the subject of many a joke back on Chit Chat.

On a slight tangent. On Sunday afternoon, I was listening to Radio 5 Live when one of their presenters came up with one of the funniest malapropisms I've heard in a long time. Discussing Ten Haag's fall-out with Ronaldo: "I think Ronaldo maybe crossed the lexicon with Ten Haag."

I like it Des Pond! It might take a bit of dictionary work for one or to to get it though. And even then,..... Earlier Anne Robinson and Weakest Link was mentioned. I published my views on her and the prog. long before she went but would like to say how brilliantly Romesh Ranganathan has taken up the reins. I had seriously disliked this guy before he showed up here. Well done Sir - never give her any thought at all now. That's how successfully you have taken over and improved the show.

Etymology of the day is ‘tawdry’, meaning cheap, sordid, or in poor taste. It began as ‘St Audrey’s lace’: ribbons worn as necklaces to honour a 7th-century saint of Ely. Thanks to their often shoddy quality, ‘tawdry laces’ became linked to cheap or disreputable behaviour

The ‘h’ in ‘ghost‘ is a historical hiccup. William Caxton, having first practised his trade in Flanders, brought Flemish typesetters back to England to help set up his printing press - they lobbed an ‘h’ into English ‘gost’ because their own native word was ‘gheest’.
