It wasn't a biscuit that fell off that stricken ferry was it?

Which bit of this seeming madness did you want explaining, Liz?liz brown wrote:Please put me out of monkey madness and explain?
The Mayor Snorkum/Paddling poodles references come from a comic SF novel, "Next of Kin" by Eric Frank Russell. Space Scout Leeming is travelling through enemy space and overhears communications from a race that speaks a language that sounds like English but sounds more like, "Mayor Snorkum will lay the cake." "For whom be the cake laid by Snorkum?" "Snapnose, enk?" "Go paddle a poodle." and so on.
The biscuits reference refers to the ferry on the sands just north of Blackpool which scattered its cargo of McVitie's chocolate biscuits all over the beach...
Keep up!

Silence. . . . the forums were very quiet one day with not a soul in sight. That is when the important thoughts are generated in our pre-posting minds.

No.
If I echo for you then I would have to pronounce it quiet and not queit.

Re: A serious Question
that is a justifiable typographical error, recognised through the whole universe as being wrong.
