Reading through Oleo's 1755 and thinking 'good one'; then Creamy chimes in and cracked me up. Still smiling, enjoying the purity of a well timed one liner. Choccy frog awarded.......
FONC – most of the 'cryptic' stuff is home grown and more shorthand than cryptic. Much of the so called insider stuff can be deciphered from the posts. For example, Slats used the phrase 'very odd', which is completely acceptable, but 'passing strange' is more commonly used. Index ref:- One day, some clown in a cheap suit read out a risible diatribe, denigrating a respected 'ills of society' (that's us, the Senate Committee and anyone else who won't go Hawaiian) member. The phrase 'We find it passing strange' was picked up and became legend, it does speak volumes and perfectly describes a mind set, but you need to have read Hansard to twig . The rest is pretty much bog standard Mickey Bliss, as and when the muse descends.
