A stranger in the Mess

I quite like Yorkshire, at least the bits I have seen. Whilst working in Sheffield -a nice place by the way- I found out to my disgust that the tea strainer is not an object that Sheffielders(?) and maybe by association the rest of the Yorkshires are acquainted with. A gobful of tea leaves was not my idea of a perfect start to the day!

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Indeed - I have tracked this down this denouement
Sorry - inarticulate even for me - should read " I have tracked down this denouement"
I do this for future social historians who will undoubtedly study this forum as a key to many mysteries.

Welcome Simon,

You will have already availed yourself of some of the insanity of this forum.

A couple of points to note.

FSN, Alias Nobby also "Loird Oik of Runcorn" is slightly less sane than most on this forum.  Just imagine him as a mad but loveable dog.  Totally harmless, leaves wet patches where you don't want them and a tendancy to "Hump peoples legs"   :)

A good friend (and Yorkshire man) said to me that the definition of true Yorkshire man was "A Scotsman with all the generosity taken out"  ;D  I did not believe him as he was a generous fellow, as are the guys at Pendraken.  However the bits about Ferrets, pidgins, and whippets are all correct. So you have been warned.

Many on this forum are retired and consequently have loads of time for things.  Some claim to work although the level of this is in question as most of them are on this forum most of the time

Given this I may be inclined to refer to His Lordship as "Nobby" in future!  =)

I think you should.  ;)
