It reminds me of being a kid in the 70s - which was, of course, smashing - in a Keith Chegwin sort of way. Very Happy

Don't really know. Its a smashing way to describe something that is ...em, smashing. Very Happy


Used to be the sales pitch for McVities Jaffa Cakes - "with the smashing Jaffa orangey bit". Dunno if they still use that slogan though.

I saw Keith Chegwin naked on that jungle gameshow he did. Not good.

I remember when Keith Chegwin and Maggie Philbin got together, as they were on Swapshop together. They also were part of the supergroup, "brown sauce" from the same Tv show. Smashing.

As a kid I always thought that Stu Francis could turn a nice phrase:
I could crush a grape
I could wrestle an action man
I could jump off a dolls house

etc.

He who binds himself a joy,
Doth the winged life destroy,
But he who kisses the joy as it flies,
Lives in eternity's sun rise. (William Blake)

Depending on your perspective, that may be a profound or mundane observation.

The profound thread is on 99 replies. If I could think of something profound I'd post it straight away and bag the century!

But I can't think of anything so I'm posting on this thread instead.

I saw some nice tiles in a shop window yesterday. They would look nice in my bathroom, but Christmas is coming up and I can't really justify the expense.

I think my wife wants to go to DFS and look at sofa-beds and a footstool. The 4 year deals they offer seem very agreeable.

It looked like mud on the down-tube, but when I washed the bike it turned out to be dog poo. I wish people would clean up after their mutts, even in the woods!
