I once did a week.
About ten years ago.

I felt no better, so back on the sauce I went.

I drank half a bottle of cognac, four pints and a liqueur yesterday, and I feel 100% fine today.

A week isn't really long enough to show the benefits silly boy.

And bollocks to those people who say 'you shouldn't need a drink to relax', well I fucking do, so fuck off you Mormon cunt

You shouldn't need a drink to relax...

I read this as 'Barry White from Eastenders'
Which is a story line I'd watch: Barry arrives in Albert Square and croons his way into Dot Cottons knickers, but is he after her fish mitten or her pension?
(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 9 Sep 2011, 14:02, Reply)
My guess is it'll be something to do with the root word
Probably from an Old English/German word. Hang around, someone will be bored enough to look it up soon...

Folks who say they don't like kids just ain't grillin' 'em right.

Only if "being in a yoghurt" is the same as "being all yoghurty".
Which it might be, I suppose.

I so hoped that was true, but it doesn't appear to be.
John Marwood Cleese, apparently.

It was his father who changed it from Cheese.

How narrow does the range have to be?
Could I have all pig products, for example, or would I have to narrow it down further?

The range needs to be as narrow as bobby


So not very narrow at all really.

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 9 Sep 2011, 14:42, Reply)
Apparently it's just a result of the different ways people have spelt vowel sounds in the past.
Fiery and fire both come from the same root word, "fyr". I guess the Y got people all confused.
