Dear Mr. Nigel Hay,
So I can better understand "The Queen's English", is a "genital manipulator"
the same as a "wanker"?
BTW: I was reading a Brit book and they were referring to "Wogs" (often
"Bloody wogs") (?) I asked the Brits at work and they told me to keep my
voice down and explained outside in a whisper. I was surprised!
Regards,
Glen
May the Joys of today be those of tomorrow!
May the goblet of life hold no dregs of sorrow!

Shocking!!!

Probably a better place than, say, politics, or neuro-surgery.
They take up space.

We have a similar affliction: Perhaps you've heard of the Republicans and
the Democrats?
