Many congratulations – I presume Sir Les Patterson is still the Minister for arts and culture then??

Savoured, like a fine wine.

I thought at first that you had missed a golden opportunity there sir.

After that wind up I was expecting the whole last line of your comment to be one long blue streak of expletives…..

but really, I should have known better…your stories often have an unexpected twist at the end….

Thanks Karen.

As for “headfuck”, if they didn’t like that kind of talk this site would never have been archived in the first place. I’m a firm believer in using language, and regularly do.

You know those people that say swearing shows a lack of vocabulary and ability to express yourself? I say bollocks. There’s nothing so effective as a well placed swear!

Congratulations Alan!
I’m so pleased for you. Now your words are a part of history. N I C E.

I enjoyed the whole post…

but this was my favorite part

“What a complete headfuck”

can you SAY that once you’re in the library?

I think it’ll be ok if we just picture you saying it QUIETLY while wearing a tuxedo …..

Sounds kinky, but you probably meant chuffed. Or did you…

Thanks mate!
