Raping, Rogering & Ridiculing (my old school motto at Rushmore uppem)

Ah yes, memories, The smell of the The old school urinals that used to come from the gym teacher.

A rather stupid man that couldn't roll his r's

He'd stand on the touch line, (now you know why it's called that), at 'rugger', shouting "Wah, Wah, Wushmore Top Wankers at Wushmore!".

He could never understand why he would get a belly laugh from the local oiks if we ever condescended to give them a game!

:eek:

Just trying to stir up a bit of reaction for you. To be honest, Mancie, I don't think this is going to be the shock, horror, innumerate Tories scandal that you're hoping for. People are so used to duplicity and stupidity from politicians of all persuasions that something like this doesn't even register on the radar. :rolleyes:

I'd give it up as a bad job, Mancie, lad. Jaysay's gone to get some shuteye, Boeing Guy's probably flying off to somewhere exotic and as Accyweb is not the hotbed of Tory support that you fondly imagine it to be, I very much doubt that you're going to start a ruck over this. ;)
