I’d just been into the bog for a tom tit, its the only place you can sit and read the paper in peace round here. Well, on the way back, I slipped on a banana skin and fell flat on me nook & cranny, I was lucky I didnt damage me orchestra stalls, Of course everybody thought i was mozart & liszt, falling flat on my khyber pass like that. Some girl went past with an upturned nose and bristol cities to match.

“fallen on your bottle & glass have you?, Hope you havnt damaged your brains,” she said. Cheeky little fillet of cod. What she needed was a good smack on the kingdom come.

you wanna read the queens xmas speech one?

>.< I so did not just sit and think up that whole sentence..

Friar Tucked? Does that mean ‘booked’ or ‘ducked’?

I like Friar Tucked. :p always love the rude ones.

I haven’t seen (or heard) paraffin lamp used in ages, good call for the retro slang.

My mate got a cockney rhyming slang dictionary and we spent weeks calling each other “Parrafin lamp”, “Bill Wymen”, “one-time looker”, saying you’ve got a “dodgy boat” or “your Jack and Danny’s on display.” Endless hours of rude fun. I was, however, shocked to learn what toerag was originally supposed to mean….it’s said on all sorts of childrens shows!

…What with the dust and that.
(Oh god, I’m such a comic genius. Look at me go!)

So I’m not really sure why you’d need a slang word for beef (which has always seemed like slang or a euphemism to me, anyway. Why can’t we make like the Spanish and just call it cow? Well, vaca in Spanish, obviously.) but it still sort of works.

I loved all of your examples, they’re brilliant!

Also, long time no see! I asked for the Flowfield Unity book for Christmas, but alas! It did not materialise. Apparently it’s difficult to buy something when I forget to give any hint of where they might find such an item. Oops.
Anyway, it’s nice to come back to such an awesome strip. Hopefully I should be around more soon.

Just for the record, that work is my favourite piece of modern art.
