    Good morning!

    Welcome aboard this JCB01 flight to Mayhem and Bedlam.

    Please fasten your seat belt, take your protein pills and put your helmet on.

    Trying time today will be for as long as you can hack it.

    There are no emergency exits however, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.

    You will soon be beginning your descent into JC International ScarePort.

    We wish you a pleasant onward journey. :D

    Fine and Dandy

    From being well attired: Something good or agreeable.

    Cloud Cuckoo Land refers to an unrealistically idealistic state where everything is perfect. (“You’re living in Cloud Cuckoo Land, mate.”) It hints that the person referred to is naïve, unaware of reality or deranged in holding such an optimistic belief.

    The reference comes from The Birds, a play by Aristophanes in which Tereus helps Pisthetairos (which can be translated as “Mr. Trusting”) and Euelpides (“Mr. Hopeful”) erect a perfect city in the clouds, to be named Cloud Cuckoo Land.

    Wise choice. Apparently the man who invented jogging as a healthy form of exercise died whilst out jogging.

    lol Panda – I will sit here and watch the transport infrastructure with a big grin on my face – bit like the millenium dome that could only be accessed from the Midlands by rail I seem to remember

    Drat am I starting to agree with Panda now????

    There’s some sort of an infection on these boards. I’ve been agreeing with Jen Jen, now you’re agreeing with me… :shock:

    I just hope the transport system doesn’t make us the laughing stock of the World, but I suspect it will judging by recent events on the Central Line.

    Shame Italy couldn’t hold on.

    You could keep me going all night at this. It’s a game you, yourself, like to play.

    A panda is known by the company it keeps.

    What an absolutely ridiculous and patronising poster you have become.

    :lol:

    “Blow your / my own trumpet / horn.”

    Apparently, it refers to the practice of heraldry.

    It comes from the sense of ‘horn’ as a trumpet, and one who blows his own horn is someone making great fanfare about himself, as is usually more appropriately left to a herald.

    Yep, fully agree there with you, tinks.

    Mind you, I was a bit rebellious but my parents always too the school’s side.

    I get the impression the secondary school that this girl attends are in for a rough ride with the mother!
