No Aaron's dad is a grey haired TV. Easy to get it mixed up.

He is one of the resistance fighters in Top Secret. (One of my favourite ever films if I hadn't told you before)
What I'd like to know is what is a Snatch Land Rover.

Top Secret is the shizzle.
It's called a Snatch Land Rover because when it goes over an Afghan IED, everyone inside is f**ked.

Wasn't that Dan Dare's French nemesis?

Renegade has the best answer.
But it's a fast lightly armoured landrover used for making quick arrests during the Troubles or grabbing up organisers at protests. Hence the name snatch.

I prefer to believe Stephen Fry (QI) who attributes the first flush toilet to the ancient Chinese, predating the Romans by some time.

Particularly in Top Secret.
Porcelain bus
Great white telephone
As in after a heavy night of drinking, driving the porcelain bus or shouting down the great white telephone.

The loo in Castles was called "the Garde Robe"; Basically a tube built from stones (like a chimney) down the outside of the castle wall, with a hole for a shovel at the bottom. The 'room' was on the top of the castle wall and had a stone seat in it (with a hole in it of course)
Pongy, but it worked like a compost heap, after the excrement had been in the tube a while, what was taken out at the bottom, was compost/fertiliser for the crops.

Incidentally BOG stands for Bottom-of-Garden, dates back to the days of outside toilets.
