several minutes before the Major could articulate clearly. He spluttered and stuttered, gurgled and croaked and finally got out, 'What is the dashed meaning of this, Rosie?! He has besmirched your impeccable name, the rapscallion, the blackguard! He's played loose and free with your tender feelings. Begad, he's nothing but a scoundrel! A duel, a duel, this must be settled with pistols at dawn!' 'Don't be ridiculous Daddy, he's ...

'Of course the etymology of the phrase is very interesting, first used, I believe, in 1827, although shipshape goes back a full 200 years prior to this. I myself personally prefer spica et spatio, I feel it better exemplifies the juxtaposition between ...' I couldn't take much more of this, 'So Major, when do you think you'll be ...

Black Sun ~ Death Cab For Cutie

come rushing forward with every intention of thumping him on the back. I expertly foot tripped him and he went lurching head first into a wall where he appeared to lose consciousness. I chucked some water over him and he soon came round. Meantime, Daddy was turning a rather fetching shade of purple. I observed him with interest. What would he do next, I wondered? 'Do something!' shrieked Rosie, 'Daddy's choking!' I tossed up between CPR and the Heimlich manoeuvre and plumped for ...

Our House ~ Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

if she'd come oot wimee.' I told him in no uncertain terms there was an iceblock's chance in hell of that ever happening! 'Well, introductions are over, chop chop boys, back to work. Now Major Flowers, do come into our office, you'll be much more comfortable there, away from the hoi polloi and great unwashed.' 'Very interesting word that, hoi polloi. From the Greek of course, Pericles mentioned it in Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, don't you know, what!' expounded the Major, puffing out great clouds of smoke redolent of ...

Daddy was not only a literary scholar but rather deaf. 'Not quite up to snuff, m'dear, don't you know, what!' he said in a loud aside to Rosie. 'Shhh Daddy, don't upset the workers,' she whispered. 'Now let me introduce the others in our merry little band. This is ...

Give a Little Bit ~ Supertramp

guarantee they'll 'av this lot sorted by tonight.' Rosie arrived back with Japanese cherry teas for all and a selection of rice crackers and tofu. Nobody stopped work. Not long after, a short chubby man wearing a plaid tweed suit, monocle in one eye and smoking an oderiferous pipe, stepped jauntily through the door. 'Rosie, my dear! I've come to meet your young man! Is that the chappie over there?' he said pointing to a tall Lothario, showing off, very unnecessarily I felt, bulging muscles in a tight singlet. 'Daddy!' Rosie shrieked, 'you ...

Rosie beamed and blushed, 'Oh golly gosh and jeepers. You're such a charmer, get away with you.' 'Exactly what I was thinking!' I muttered to myself. 'So when do you think ...

all nonchalant and in charge. 'Oi moit, we ain't takin' no orders from the loikes of you! The missus 'ired us, we only listen to 'er!' Just then Rosie came in with a tray full of mugs. 'Come on boys, time for a cuppa,' she called, her face wreathed in a big smile. They all downed tools, grabbed a drink and started rolling fags. 'But Rosie!' I complained, 'they ...
