allyou need is tape an WD40
of it moves and you don't want it to, gaffer tape it
if it doesn't move and you want it to, WD40.
it's called Gaffer tape is because it lets you fix stuff before the gaffer sees what you have broken.

This is classic...
The toilet scene is the best!
Warning, dirty language...
If the dirty language offends you, maybe this is more your speed!

What a tit He is!!!!
Anyhoo, back to gaffer tape. The term originates back in the TV & film industries (also rock n roll roadies) when the person in charge of the lighting and rigging was called the gaffer and yes this is the actual title not slang for anything else. The tape he used to mark things i.e stage positions was what is now refered to as "gaffer tape"
another one for you...... WD40 is a simple term that has stuck, the chemists involved in making this water displacement fluid tried many blends of chemicals untill the came up with the one they wanted - the 40th blend thats why it's called WD40

I don't eat anything that includes the word "Rag" or "mushy"!
Rag is a monthly visitor that ruins a good time and Mushy best describes an old girlfriend of mine... Actually her nickname from me, was Smooshy..Seriously.

We have roundabouts on the roads to keep the flow of traffic going rather than 'intersections'. We also have roundabouts on the park that kids sit on, get spun round a bit too fast by their evil parents(!), get dizzy as fook then spew their ice cream all over :lol:

Not having a pot to piss in = no money
potless = no money
Both come from the days when you left a piss pot outside your front door for the people who used the piss in the making of felt material from wool.
1 full pot got you a penny, some tried to cheat using water or animal piss which is no use, when they got found out the pot was taken from them and not returned, hence the phrase not got a pot to piss in or potless.
potless = no money

My dad came up this morning & some guy he works with was telling him he went into the bank at dinner time and asked the lass behind the counter if she could "sausage a gregory" and she didnt have a clue what he was talking about!! Apparently sausage = sausage n mash = cash and gregory = gregory peck = cheque!! Bloody cock-a-nees (thats them from London BTW)
