Is that what you call a loose translation?

I guess a motopcycle is some kind of Hell's Angel on acid.

Coole Pilate must be Pontius's hipper, more laid-back brother. Has a goatee, rides a fixie with titchy, untaped bars, adopts a Nazarene accent and hangs out with Gallileans.

'Scotland's Secret Bunker' so ought to be the tomb of Donald Trump!

Seen on an ambulance on the way in this morning. Who thought that was a good idea?

In similar vein, yesterday I saw "Canute Medical Services".

Nothing silly about that. I imagine it's like a small-scale version of what happens if you park your car under a sausage tree.

I wish I were a jellyfish
that cannot fall downstairs.
Of all the things I wish to wish
I wish I were a jellyfish
that hasn't any cares
and doesn't even have to wish
"I wish I were a jellyfish
that cannot fall downstairs."

Not very silly. Just amusing that they're still painting over "Station" more than 50 years after it closed!

Translates of course as 'Hands off German tits. No to EU-standard breasts'.

I wasn't previously aware that was in the rules/laws. Is it another bendy banana option?

clarion · « **Reply #794 on:** 18 May, 2014, 09:23:03 pm »

Indeed. But it's no more ridiculous than the claims UKIP make about Europe.

Indeed. I don't know what a sausage tree is, but palms of most species are prone to shedding branches without provocation.

A well-formed sausage weighs several kilos, and is prone to dropping without warning. They're LOUD (especially when they land on a steel roof).

I've seen one of those somewhere, can't think where though.

Palm branches are bigger though.
