Anyone remember the term 'rape artist'? Am I making that up? I remember it at Primary School before I understood the concept. Shit though, that can't be right?? What am I thinking of??

I bought some of that rape oil once, didn't work, she was still very dry. On the plus side, her choloresteral levels dropped like a stone.

And it's with jokes like that I make myself endearing to the BCG community.

Whoever thought that 'rape' was a good name for marketing an oil?

It's called canola oil over here for just that reason.

It always feels a bit wrong saying 'ooh look at that pretty yellow rape field'.

(They are jolly pretty though.)

My first trip to the UK was for one of the first All Tomorrow's Parties festivals in Camber Sands. We hopped off the train in Rye and a nice old female cab driver took us the rest of the way. She gave us the grand tour but I wasn't paying much attention because I was concentrating on not panicking because we were driving on the wrong side of the road. My ears pricked up once she mentioned the rape field on the left.

When you hear an American programme and they keep saying "oftentimes!"

It's bloody just "often!!!" The "times" bit is totally unnecessary!

Sort of like the 'u' in colour, etc?
