Oh, god is it that time of year again already, have they taken Terry
Wogan out of his cryogenic chamber and dusted him down for yet another
highly entertaining ensemble of glittering talent. Why do they still
insist running the damn thing anyway? no one watches it, except those
detained at Her Majesty's pleasure, and a few learning disability
patients, who are forced at gun point to provide the viewing figures
for the BBC.
When are we going to stand up and say ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

No unfortunately it's a genuine, bonafide, sad name!

I used to be, but since the operation and the electrolysis, I'm much

Sorry to disappoint you on this one, I'm probably not a good
reflection of the name, no silicone implants, just a few months steady
work for a surgeon with industrial liposuction gear!

I think the best chance would be if we all try it together *while* the
thing is on, then we'd have something else to do instead of watching.

Which one? no 1 had (I think) been dead two decades and no 2 for nearly one
I was abroad at the time in paradise - brilliant sunshine every day, nice
blue sea and the beach 200 yards away. Duty free booze and everything else.
Gignola Cinquetti blasting from every open window; I could never get enough
of her. Absolute heaven - and I was getting paid for it.

To have more than one mother is a remarkable biological feat.

You may have had a mother followed by a stepmother (or adoptive or
foster mother), but I still pedantically maintain you can't have had two
mothers.

OK, I'll get pedantic. You missed out two possibilities; the one which is
incorrect in this case covers in vitro fertilisation followed by insertion
into a woman from whom the egg didn't come.
In any case, I never heard any of the women sing except in church.

OK, this *is* d.l.
I have a mother in the sense that I emerged from sher womb. I have
also "had" the mother of my children in the sense that d.l. knows

No doubt there will be a crop of inane and wholly unnecessary
comments about this unfortunate typo from some of more cerebrally
challenged on here, but at least I won't be one of them.

Oh, Donald, you do put it so quaintly.Another one I hadn't thought of.
OK JK, one who produced me, one who adopted me, one whom I adopted,
the mother of my various kids (and perhaps the mother(s) of the kids I
don't know about).

He probably does, but it appears to be Paul that you are quoting.
