    Word of the day is ‘battologist’ (17th century): an individual who repeats the same story over and over, even when all the facts contradict them.



    I do love Susie

    I wonder what the collective noun is? :confused:

    An indignation of battologists? Or will a shower be sufficient? o_O

    Yes she is lovely.
    Does that chap (Big Lil ?) still do requests for sourcing pictures from the web of lovely crumpet?
    If so, a bit of Dent cleavage or leg would brighten my day

    There was a word of the day a few weeks ago that has stuck with me, 'stiffrump'. Basically an idle sod who refuses to move. I know a few stiffrumps.
