[QUOTE=Less;1266730]Oh dear, thank goodness your questions are always easy to answer!

sss=, I absolutely and honestly do not know what( "sss", means, If this means "in your mind" that I am (Less) intelligent than you "think" that you are, then so be it.

[QUOTE=taddy;1266872]Really got the bit between your teeth now haven't you?

None of the above was my intention just answered in what would be for many, a fun way, that's all.

[QUOTE=taddy;1266872]Steady away Tads, he's not knocking you, he merely meant that the answer was fairly straight forward. That said, I do believe Less also did military service & that being the case the common acronyms amongst the military community are shared knowledge, we often forget that your everyday "Civvie", isn't quite up to speed with our meanings / turn of phrase. :)

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Sorry Dave – when I saw your morning ritual included ‘sss’ I didn’t think of it as meaning ‘sh, sh, and sh’ until I saw Less’s very funny pictorial explanation. Instead I thought it was another three-letter word beginning with ‘s’ but that you were being too much of a gentleman to spell it out. Enough said! (and Taddy, please don’t say you don’t know what that three-letter word beginning with ‘s’ is or Less might get all graphical again, and in this instance maybe it’s better he doesn’t…oops!).

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Taddy, stop thinking about your age, which is something you mention now and then, don’t let it worry you. I’m allowed to say that because I’m older than you, (now officially two fat ladies - in bingo lingo) but instead of worrying over something I can’t do anything about I am thankful I am still here. Many don’t make it this far. My morning ritual simply consists of waking up and getting on with things.

[QUOTE=Less;1266873]Ok Less, I can appreciate that and I love the image, as for the first line of your comment I do not have as many toothy Peggie's as I used to have so I cannot bite as hard as I used to do as a youngster, stay safe, keep posting and we will entertain other Accy Webbers with our humour( or lack of it there of). ;);)

[QUOTE=DaveinGermany;1266874]Now then N.C.O. Williams,( I think that is the correct term), how could you possibly know that I have never been in the military?

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Because Taddy…if you had, you would know that the three esses….were Shave, shower and Shampoo(yes I know the third ess is to Shine….but with a t in place of the N.).

Thanks for that Marge, as you know, I am always willing to learn new lessens about the English language.

Thanks for that Dave, apart from the "Egg Banjo and the BAOR", I have no idea about the others but I will ask my lad the next time he visits, to answer your question, Yes he served in the First Royal Tank Regiment.
As for me not serving I shall have to put you right, I have served and am still serving as a distinguished officer in the First Foot in the Mouth Regiment stationed at the Peel Park Pub barracks. Stay Safe and stay happy, Taddy

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?

Buckshee….is free and comes from the word Baksheesh a Persian word and it meant a bribe which I guess is something free.
The P’s…..proper planning prevents pish poor performance.
Crabs….genital pests…lice.
BAOR….British Army on the Rhine.
Egg Banjo….fried egg on a barm cake
