Haven't you seen Austin Powers? That's how we all talk.

"That was Roxanne, by the Police or as they’re now known, Sting. A song there about a prostitute. Doesn’t say what her surname is. Must give her a call sometime. Although the effects of 23 years on the game, would not render her pleasurable to mine eye."

I always find that slightly disappointing - mostly because the Imperial measure we use here means that a pint is 568ml, so a half-litre is smaller.

If you can't find a true vocation, ensure you indulge your passions elsewhere. You may be able to volunteer, and get the buzz of your beloved subject.

"Different strokes" indeed. I'm a (male) abuse survivor - physical rather than sexual.
