    Bruce Forsyth: 22/2/1928

    Sliced bread: 7/7/1928

    So Bruce Forsyth is definitely not the best thing since sliced bread.

    It's only really good if it's the best thing since the invention of the wheel. That was a really good invention. Better than bread, since without the wheel the bread would never get delivered anyway.

    Blow jobs. i wonder who gave the very first blow job. And was it by accident or curiosity. And was it a revelation one day or is it just something we carried over from when we were hairy bastard apes?
    We need to get Louis Theroux onto this

    I'm guessing this is a reference to a drink but since I don't drink, I'll just pretend to get it.:pac:

    Oh, you!

    Half lager, half cider, a dollop of blackcurrant , and all pish.

    A bite from a snake would be more preferable.
