Good morning all you diverse and motley lot.

I'm not diverse. I'm a white male hetero TBM.

Good to know although I thought that everybody who works for the BBC had to be a rampant Jesse.

ps ... Good Morning

I thought that everybody who works for the BBC had to be a rampant Jesse.

Not at all - they just have to have a picture of Jeremy Corbyn on their bedroom wall and bow to is every morning !

[Mervyn and Trish]

Jeremy who?

[qbman1]

Quite - the only Jeremy I remember was the Sugar Puffs Bear !!!

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm more Clarkson than Corbyn. The Ruskies wouldn't dice with him.

[qbman1]

Don't tell the BBC !

[Mervyn and Trish]

It's okay. My gold plated pension is safe

[qbman1]

We're all mightily relieved that our license fee is being spent properly

[Manoverboard]

Does a BBC ' one ' get a free TV license as a perk, assuming ' one is not over 75 of course ?

[qbman1]

Don't they all live in "grace & favour" country houses ?

[Dark Knight]

Afternoon
there is a more adult phrase for BBC but I am in enough trouble already without risking the plods wrath even further

[qbman1]

That's not like you - bowing to authority ?!

[Dark Knight]

posting "big black c*ck" , might get me in trouble ??
depends on how liberal the overlords are being
so probably not worth the risk in the current climate
what do you reckon ??

[qbman1]

Upon reflection, probably best if you don't mention that ! The smurf might have apoplexy !

[Dark Knight]

thats what I thought, so best we move on to a safer topic ,such as smoking on board or the ever dull but popular dress code

[qbman1]

If we run out of ideas, there's always the embarkation times !

[Dark Knight]

true, I am also fond of the Dumbed down passenger, sorry dumbed down cruise argument, which is particularly tiresome

[qbman1]

But the bit about the origins of such everyday phrases - now that was inspiring !

[Dark Knight]

Ah , never judge a Knight by his posts....a rookie mistake many have made to their eternal shame

[qbman1]

Most are now in a secure institution !

[Mervyn and Trish]

Does a BBC ' one ' get a free TV license as a perk, assuming ' one is not over 75 of course ?

No one doesn't Moby. In fact as a BBC employee, in my time at least, I can't answer for now, licence evasion was a summary dismissal offence.

Now, back to dumbed down casual children smoking on sunbeds after jumping the queue to embark.....

[Not so ancient mariner]

Ah , never judge a Knight by his posts....a rookie mistake many have made to their eternal shame

Once a King, always a King - but once a Knight - is enough (at least once you get to my age!)

Goodnight all.

[Silver_Shiney]

Good night John, you tail-end Charlies need your rest

[towny44]

Good night John, you tail-end Charlies need your rest

My tail guns will be blasting you out of the race if you get too close to your leader, ME!
