Never understood why they have silent 'D's' and 'X's' in the English language.
I once went into a posh cake shop here in Dublin, there is a brand of cakes far better than that Kipling fella makes, it's called "Gateaux" and I always pronounce my 'X's' so I says can I have a swiss roll by Gateaux, he pulled me up on my pronunciation saying "It's Gatooooo, the X is silent, shall I put it in a box for you?" No, you needn't bother your ballo"
My God, I think I need a lie down again.
Pernod is yellow, I think it turned white when lemonade is added
It tastes like aniseed!
I wondered where Spitty got his username

Jem we have a beer over here call XXXX - how would ya pronounce that one in oirish??
just came across some old clips of the Dick Cavett show in USA - a bigger and might I say smarter version of the Michael Parkinson show - he also got hold of the visiting stars like the beatles and stones and his long time ambition was interviewing Katherine Hepburn although I found her quite boring - just go to youtube YES your own Utube and look for him. He is like a fine wine needs savouring a few times but he is a very clever interviewer his Paul Newman gig was good
