Not Only, But Also

And before that there was the mum of the kids who had stopped as they crossed the train tracks outside Cicerello's.

"There's nothing coming," said one of the kids.

"Behind you!!!" shrieked mum.

She and I both found it hilarious.

piss funny

but, as a new parent, I can only read in awe.
I have not yet reached this level of confidence - and I suppose an 18 month old would not really get the joke.

Hi HBB

On the topic of mothers, Mrs (Lorraine) Leyland is now billed as 'researcher' on the fabulous documentary series Leyland's (sic) Australia.

On today's show, Lorraine and the other Leylands (sadly sans Mal) were bushbashing through the Kimberleys (sic), during which I witnessed Mrs Leyland's researchorial talents:

1. "Visitors are encouraged to visit the community."

2. "Essentially unchanged after millions of years of evolution, the crocodile ..."

3. "Twice a day the Buccaneer Archipelago is subjected to a strange phemonenon."

4. " ... and just remove all those insects from the sauce while you're waiting for it to thicken."

Russell Coight should sign Mrs Leyland up NOW.

I see your point, GoFreo. I am convinced the woman is a fool - particularly with that last eg you provided. However will the sauce thicken WITHOUT the insects?
