Hahaha. In the case of the mankini, wearers should be shot in sight


EDIT: is it something to do with guns, now I mention it?

Puleeeez! No! Besides I said that Sneaky could bring them out, as could you or I. I pray we all have better taste!

Hmmmmm..... Orlok is getting very close! I'll give you another 90 minutes or so... my bedtime, to come up with the correct answer, or I'll post it and let you folks play while I get my beauty rest. Not that I need it.

Broadsheets are the "quality" newspapers, which are not actually banned (in fact no papers are banned), but I guess you are all referring to the News of the World, which has been forced to close through public indignation and pressure. That was a "red-top", which is the lower end of the quality market (full of salacious gossip etc.).

NO! I was talking about the things (words) that I posted! They are banned in the UK!

Ding! Ding! Ding!! These are all names of pocket knife blade shapes (although some are used for fixed blade knives too.)

Here and here are some photos of the various shapes with their names.

Orlok... it's your turn!

Good question. They most certainly are banned here. I have even had to stop carrying around my (tiny) pocket-knife just in case I get stopped for something and searched...

It was what we called the small window that looked into the girl's locker room when I was in High School. We just stood there murmuring 'Oh God! I'm in heaven! Oh God! I'm in heaven.'

Much better answers than the real one .

I'm not going to prolong this much more, as I'm bored with it already, but if any of our South African friends are on board, they would be able to answer it.

No, nothing so exotic as the guesses we have had so far. It is an actual place in South Africa.
