#1 I'm sure he's kind to old ladies and always stops to feed the baby ducks too...

#2 âHeâs got nothing to do with it â he couldnât let off a banger.â

Proof positive, then.

#3 ...he shares with his wife, parents and younger brother.

The younger brother is suspicious to say the least. Where did I read that when a house is raided if there are two male adults present arrest one of them. Thats a good policy.

#4 BTW a 'banger' is a brit term for a firecracker (as well as a sausage).

#5 phil_b: Okay, I get the firecracker - they go "bang!" But how do you get to banger from sausage?

#6 Mythically speaking, sausages unpierced prior to cooking are liable to explode, hence the bang.

#7 Thanks, Howard. I've wondered about that for some time.

#9 There's also a question as to which one is more lethal...

I spent two weeks at a British RAF base north of Norwich during a NATO exercise. We had to eat in the RAF NCO mess. After the third day, we had some MREs flown in - no joke...

#10 OP: Well, yeah! MRE's are great anytime! ;)

#11 OP, it wouldn't have taken three days if you'd been on combat rations...

#12 I was going to post something on the order of "Bluebottle waits for applause... not a sausinge...", but it's too late, all the Brits are in bed, and there's probably no one else who can catch the reference.
