One's erection is more likely to subside?

It was probably the ringing mechanism he attached at the rear? The bell end pushed it too far at the back door?

Martin O' | 2196 comments I've always found that a good stiff erection is paramount in a satisfactory completion of any edifice.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Amazon seem to always be hell-bent on continuing to alienate and annoy everyone else with their Business practices now? ...

Someone is surely going to rise to the challenges that they keep on posing and imposing and try to take them down one of these days?!

Craig White | 6727 comments sorry suzy, back to the boaby jokes! :)

when your erection is complete it will be closely examined by a panel from the council. it may be tweaked if it overhangs your neighbours property! fnur!

Gordon (skiiltan) | 2940 comments I'm glad that article points out that the original saying was "you can't eat your cake and have your cake", rather than "you can't have your cake and eat it", which doesn't make sense.

message 1031: by suzysunshine7 (new)

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments I'm rather taken with the word used near the end of the article ... 'permashambles' ... or 'perma-shambles' as it also comes up elsewhere online. I've never heard of it before and wondered if it was another newly invented word as there does not appear to be any online Dictionary definitions of it? ;o>


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 600 comments I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before, and I rather like it too - very expressive.


message 1033: by [deleted user] (new)

I've heard of omnishambles before, so perhaps that's where it hails from.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Omnishambles? ... Hmmm, I also really like that word as well ;o>

It's from twitter. I don't use twitter but it seems to depend on which device you use. The speaker icon should be just below the picture - maybe click on the picture to reveal it (?).

I didn’t know that, Gordon but wondered what it could mean. Anyway, by great coincidence, Stephen Poole in today’s Guardian says:
“The impossibility of having your cake and eating it is a modern reversal: the original, as a 1546 compendium of English proverbs has it, goes: “Wolde ye bothe eate your cake, and haue your cake?” Oddly, it has also sometimes meant a regulatory environment – “a body or ‘cake’ of laws and customs” (1872), of the kind that even Johnson would surely not gobble.”
