Look forward to seeing your commentary and contributions on a regular basis.You'll recognise me straight away, I'm the one that types with the English accent. Toodle-pip old girl, don'tcha know!

Oh good grief. Welcome itsjulie. You've apparently give the locals a good reason to exercise their playful sides. It's a nice diversion from the rest of the flaming, name calling, serious, navel gazing going on elsewhere in the cellar. Good to have you aboard.

Then there are other derivatives - 'the old man' (as the description implies, more for the senior citizens), 'the todger' (upper middle class), 'the hampton' (more cockney slang - see a cockney visibly cringe and withdraw at the mention of 'Hampton Court' - you can actually see his eyes start to water), and then there are those with a trans-atlantic influence, such as ' the one-eyed trouser snake' (although, on second thoughts, that may have an Australian background). I am sure I can remember a few more given time, but it's all too easy to turn keen interest into dedicated boredom if you dwell too much on a subject, so I'll leave it there. Sorry about this Itsjulie, but you'll get used to the way written words of individuals seldom stay long with the original subject matter. Deviation is rife in the Cellar!
