New Name for Dour Puritan

[fsn]

A Turkish adult comic.


Apropos nothing, am I the only one who finds oneself singing "Whiter Shade of Pale" every time I hear the name "Boko Haram"?

Bet Techno does. he's an old hippy.

You are going to get such a slap, Nobby ! 
But it's not that particular track I think of.
If I put down what it was, there are certain members of the forum that would make smutty remarks because of the second word.

Oh dear, is Dour Puritan now one of the Bishop of Winchester's Geese?

Leman St in London is named for an archaic word for prostitute.

I never thought I would be able to use that bit of information.

Leman is a sweetheart or lover, too, not just a hired embracer.

Walpurgis

Nope.
Something to do with Greek mythology.

So you and a very good mate could go to Leman Street to hire a prostitute for a DP!! 

[Hertsblue]

Having just Googled the name I find that it can mean, amongst other things, a Turkish adult comic, a former French département under the First Empire, a Dublin-based rock band and an archaic name for a man's unmarried mistress. Are you sure about this, DP?

[FierceKitty]

Given the spelling on this forum, it could also be a citrus fruit, a suicidal mammal, the epithet characteristically applied to the towers in Suzhou, Dehli, and especially Pisa, a seaside resort town famed for Louisa Musgrove's ill-timed leap, and a Scottish loch celebrated in Burns' lyrics.

[Leman]

well I'm sticking with General Leman.

[howayman]

Yep, but you.re Major General.  I liked the Dour Puritan name its a shame its going. We need some sort of service. . .

[Leman]

Still available elsewhere on the net.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Makes it very confusing......

International man of mystery..

[Westmarcher]

Talking of mysteries, how do you / we pronounce, "Leman?" 

[Leman]

Good question; I'm assuming it's French sounding as it doesn't look particularly Flemish. but you can call me Bob.

Cheers Bob

[Techno]

That'd be Bob Bobson, then ?

[Westmarcher]

Bob Leman. Boble man?

[Leman]

As in nobleman, otherwise we're going to need another B ( to misquote Jaws).
