» Look! It's me in the Local Paper

Pretty Rank
When I was a young pup at the tender age of 17 I lived opposite an abattoir; it had been a particularly warm summer and the smell from the abattoir had been rather nauseous so much so that the local press decided to do an article to get the public perspective; unfortunately I was the only person they could find to interview; seeing as I have difficulty breathing through my nose the stench of animals being led to the slaughter hadn't really bothered me that much. This made me say this crass statement when interviewed "I thought the smell was prety rank" at the time the word rank was quite cool but not when you are pictured on the front page of your local rag in an aaron jumper that looked like it belonged to "Captain Birdseye" with a cheesy grin on my face. 20 years on and I still get stick from friends so much for 15 minutes of fame.
