Foolishness will never stop. Suggest you open a new board entitled "I Love Raising Key Points Hitherto Criminally Omitted From The Debate."

We've just had a fortnight of seriousness. This is the necessary balance.

Oh - ILE hall of fame - Robert Elms nicked this on his show this morning and proceeded to put in the terrible rule that plays on words and sound-a-likes should not be allowed. Grrr - I hate Elms.

― Pete, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

elms = stylenonce

― chris, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Elms = PRANNET. Went on his show to plug my book a few years back and he's obsessed with where one lives in London, and not altogether bright. I didn't tell him that I currently live in the building that his and Sade's old flat was in.

― suzy, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've never heard of him.
