My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

CommonersFat parents taking their 6 fat kids to an "all you can eat for a fiver" Chinese Buffet every fucking sunday.
He's wearing a replica football shirt (several sizes too small), tracksuit bottoms (oil stained) and flip flops (manky toes on full display).
She's wearing stilettoes, tracksuit bottoms, a tight (about 9 sizes too small) t-shirt with a cutesy logo on it, and a manky anorak.
The kids all look like mini replicas of the parents, and all nearly have asthma attacks trying to get in and out on the minibus.
But I don't have any room to talk. I live in a rented bedsit, drive a taxi, and at one time had 2 burned out Fords outside the house.

Did you not know?"All you can eat" is not an offer, it's a challenge.
