Caving

I'm a bit of a Nick Cave fan, but am wary of reading his novel And the Ass Saw the Angel in case it's a load of pretentious twaddle and puts me off the music. Have any of you read it? Is it any good?...

Graffiti

We've all probably heard of the great tongue-twisting bit of graffiti 'Ken Dodd's dad's dog's dead'. Has anyone seen any other real gems over the years that might compete with this?

Why are you a 'gooseberry' of you find yourself alone with a couple? Why not a date? - that would be more appropriate.
