Too easy, make up your own jokes!

If anyone saw what has happened to my finances recently you would think I was sleeping with him! But hey ho, I will take any money offered!

No thanks, I'm still sober...

Fortunately nature has provided an in-built defense mechanism, but the time you have drunk enough that would, you couldn't. ;)

When I drank every day, I used to feel sorry for people who didn't - when they woke up in the morning, that was the best they were going to feel all day... :laugh:

Apologies for lateness, MD wanted to give me £200 for some private work, who am I to say no!

You got the numbers wrong Spit Roast is (4, 5).

Stoppit, you're making me miss drinking. Sober since May 1st this year, and still going strong. People ask me "Does it feel much better?" And I'm like "No, it's about the same really. I have less tolerance for wasting my time with asinine meaningless questions though..." and give them a dark look. Christmas with the family is going to be tough.

Is it really?

Dammit - I thought I'd corrected that. Reminder to oneself - reread post before hitting Post Message.

I friend of mine came up with the concept of the Spit Roast Curtain - you don't have to look your "co-worker" in the eye, but you can high 5 over the top

Boasting about one's income is so vulgar, so new money. ;)

Skewer... something? "(&lit)" means take it literally, right?

Talking of curtains and moving away from spit roasts, my daughter was born by emergency C-Section, and when doing the nasty down the business end they put up a curtain half way(ish) down and the father sits at the top end on a little stool chatting away and trying desperately to ignore the cutting and hacking sounds and not fall apart completely. I remembered someone telling me that if you look up at the lights then you can see reflected everything that is going on the other side of the curtain, so I was also desperately not letting my eyes raise up at all.

Half right.

Yes, a littoral clue is the hardest to write, so I am pleased with myself!

Is that another clue or a typo?!

That was an oops. I meant, of course, literal. Nothing to do with the sea. (Unless you put a C in front of it).
