I hate to bring football into your blog Zen, but I saw an hilarious interview this morning; the interview asked one of the German players about today’s match. His English wasn’t too good, he said “There’s going to be lots of motions on the pitch”…….Lets hope he meant ’emotions’, otherwise things could be very messy.
Dirty business, Val.
I guess for England there were lots of motions off the pitch after the final whistle.
OR rip your corsets off, as my old music teacher used to call him.
Love this piece; will return to listen later 🙂
Hi zen
One of my favourite stories from ‘To Auntie with Love’ by the late, great and sadly forgotten (by too many people) Jack de Manio.
He claimed that there was a BBC Third Programme announcer who had a horror about having to read out the name of Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov. Just kept getting totally tangled up.
Came the day when he saw the composer’s name on the playlist. He practised long and sailed straight through the minefield without any problem.
And then said that the piece concerned was ‘The Bum of the Flightle Bee.’
Boadicea's Chariot 
Ooh yes, Rip Me-corsetsoff, like it.
