COLD DARK ROOM

Not a poopular choice of car then?

I don't know about sales figures, but I think the French poo-poohed it generally and they ended up at the dump.

As we say in the States when sales are worse than expected, “Our sales are in the crapper!" Crapper being a term for toilet!

So that pipe dream was a quick flash in the pan then.

Yep, Thomas Crapper popularized (but did not invent) the modern flush toilet.
He was a Yorkshire plumber who did invent the ballcock. ( also a word that may cause a snigger or two.)

An astrologer could have told them all that would happen - the influence of a full moon and Uranus apparently .

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

A chain of bad toilet humour gags again.

 

[Lyn W]

Just trying to wipe that smile off your face

Try not toi let it bother you.

 

[Lyn W]

Try not toi let it bother you.

It's all going to pot!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It's all going to pot!

Shall I do my Celine Dion gag again?
or not for all the tea in China?

 

[spud's_mum]

Ok, mess with me but NOT MY PETS (or family of course)

They had the cheek to call spud "it" like he's some creature that doesn't matter...

 

[Lyn W]

Either as long as you don't expect a standing ovation but don't waste your time.

I hate that too, when my Moroccan friends call Tidgy 'it' or 'Fakroon' which is the general non-gender specific word for tortoise.
"Fakroona!" I insist, which is for a female tortoise. And 'she', of course.

This is an 80 million year old fossil turtle called Archelon icthyos, the largest sea turtle that has yet been described, though a fresh water turtle, Stupendyms
grew even bigger. Archelon lived in a warm shallow sea that covered parts of the USA at that time and is a relative of the leatherback turtle.

That is SO AMAZING!!! I would have LOVED to see one in real life...I THINK...they were carnivores, I'm guessing; so maybe I wouldn't want to get too close!
Do you know where that fossil is housed? Maybe I could visit it one day!

It's easier said than done I know, but as long as Spud doesn't get upset about it don't give them the satisfaction of knowing they have wound you up.

Yep, Yale Peabody Museum, Yale University.
I too, would love to visit one day.
