Reminds me of the time I was in hospital just before Christmas, early 90s, and there was a visit from some carol singers. The exceedingly grumpy - and quite thick - bloke in the next bed came out with the immortal line: 'fer fucks sake, you don't want that at Christmas'.

around those same years i had a friend who was a militant atheist type and when the carolers came around on xmas eve he would lean out his apartment window and bellow "SHUT UP, YOU CHRISTIANS"

Maybe the reported was kidnapped and gagged, just as they were dictating the headline to the sub-editor.

Dangerous road conditions, no mention of pot holes?

There's a part of Bolton called Nob End which has always amused me in a puerile way. It is near Little Lever.

Not as good as the other bit of Greater Manchester called Dangerous Corner.

Wonder how they say their address on the phone?
'Number 13, Bell. End. Street' - or just go for it with 'Number 13, Bell End Street'? Either way only delays the inevitable splutters and gagging noises.

though bell ends were the end of the touser legs in the 70s? Never thought it was considered rude
