Juvenile sniggers
Posted by Austin on 2 February 2012 - 5:14am.
I think most of us admire bon mots, witticisms and arch, pithy sideways glances at life. But sometimes the most juvenile items are the ones that actually make you go PPPFFFTT! when reading routine news headlines online.
Here is an example from today (source, www.stuff.co.nz)
"An Auckland bowling club is attracting lewd behaviour more fitting of the city's inner-city streets, prompting police and council to clamp down on offenders...
Inspector Gary Allcock said police received a number of anonymous complaints about the spot over the Christmas period."
Inspector Allcock!

He probably insists
it's pronounced All-coe
I'm an enormous fan of the basest smut
Which is why I started this thread
http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/content/puerile-humour
which features some absolute beauties...
I posted it there
I am going to post it here too
I mis-read it as Juvenile Singers- Doh!
I thought it was going be a thread on Frankie Lymon et al.
Wrong!
No, sorry
I don't see why that's in the least bit amusing...
Red Umpire
(aka David Ellcock)
Edit (for the avoidance of doubt) :D
Just to reassure you, Red
It was not the name, in itself, that I found funny - it was in the context of the article, which was about blokes doing rude things to each other in public. I think it's great that Inspector Allcock is on the case.
Funnily enough..
on my way home last night I was stopped in a queue at the lights on the Bolton ring road. The road on my left is called (I assume) Aycock Ave. Someone had gone to pains to mask out either end so that the sign just stated, in capital letters COCK
Marvellous
Fanny Lane
My halls of residence when I was at Liverpool Uni were round the corner from Penny Lane. The local council had long ago stopped replaced the oft-stolen street signs and simply painted a version on the wall, which made it far too easy for the local scallies to amend it with some judicious use of tippex and a black marker pen.
I was coming back from the offie once when I saw a bus-load of Japanese tourists getting out for their photo op with the 'Fanny Lane' sign. I felt really quite sorry for them.
Student vs Scallies
I rather suspect it was the students from your halls of residence who made that amendment rather than the local scallies, Merv...
Maybe
Although everyone I knew treated it with a fair bit of reverence, so wouldn't have dreamed of it!
Hmmm
Everyone's a critic!
But a fair review.
I had no idea
that a blockbuster movie had been made about melancholy comic legend Tony Hancock. And Will Smith does seem a brave choice to play him.
Waitrose in Abingdon - unintentional I presume
effin sale.
