Today it is Cliff Richard's birthday
Does he really have a colostomy? Does anyone give a shit?
Colostomy is my favourite medical term from Greek:
kolos = arse + stoma = mouth/opening.
Do you like Cliff or is he shittier than Davd Bowie?
Do you have any favourite words from other languages?

I fucking despise that bastard.
I went in to HMV, tootling around, and looked at the Calendars. After eyeing up The Saturdays, I rotated the stand, and was faced with Cliff's 2010 calendar. It's terrifying.

Quite so
I'd much prefer the Edward Cullen calender that was on the back of the same stand....

*swoons*

A couple of years ago, I was
driving around a few days before Christmas. It was about 85 degrees outside and I was wearing shorts and a tank top.

I had my favourite radio station on listening to Christmas tunes, and what should come on but Mistletoe and Wine - the presenter announced Cliff as "The English Elvis Presley".

I laughed my ass off, and then got a bit teary-eyed and nostalgic.

Well, he was, wasn't he?
Back in the day, that's how he was marketed. Still, I wish it had been Cliff who died bloated on the loo with his trousers 'round his ankles.

Yeah, but
nobody here's ever heard of him!

I always thought it was Shakin' Stevens who was the British Elvis Presley

Favourite word in Italian
'Attaccapanni' meaning coat-rack. It sounds sounds like "That's a good bathing hut".

Papillionacieous.
Or however it's spelt.
French for butterfly like.

And the German for butterfly is
Schmetterling.

Like all German words, it's best pronounced when shouted.
