Second one needs to be 'a place'.</p> <p>Rikkor, sorry, should have said I agree with you. I normally try and avoid obscure references, but it just seemed to fit. I don't even know if polari was used in the USA? But I do find these sorts of codes or slang really interesting, and if anyone googles it, they might stumble across some brilliant Kenneth Williams scripts. A weird, weird man but a comedy genius. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28823#post-80831 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:52:08 +0000 guffaw 80831@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Great till the very last word,,, 5 just had a gander at the polari</p> <p>she has a nice pair of willets.Was kenny gay ? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28823#post-80830 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:51:58 +0000 Poecheng 80830@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Simply wonderful - thank you for all your contributions which are uniformly brilliant.

Can't believe what he got away with on the radio, it was quite brilliantly written. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28823#post-80812 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:17:13 +0000 Al OPecia 80812@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Try this Rik:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO15WSS7ORQ&amp;feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO15WSS7ORQ&amp;feature=related</a> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28823#post-80811 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:57:47 +0000 rikkor 80811@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Cute. I think you have to be a lot older even than me to know what polari is. Hark! Do I hear the blatant homophobes and their anaonymous tagger friends in the offing? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=28823#post-80806 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:14:36 +0000 waylandsmithy 80806@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>There were red faces at the Daily Mail today, after George Michael was announced as the winner of their 'dream cottage' competition. What started as a minor disagreement rapidly escalated into a legal dispute with both side calling on polari experts to act as witnesses.</p> <p>"George was really excited to win the competition, he loves his cottage dreams" explained a lawyer for the popstar. "In fact, he's made detailed notes. Many of which he maintains are now legally binding."</p> <p>Michael claims his dream cottage is a south-facing property within a park or heath, with adequate parking and somewhere to crash. He pictures a row of small rooms for anonymous guests, with ensuite toilets and somewhere to hang out. His taste in interiors is fairly traditional with an eastern influence, as his lawyer explained: "George's dream cottage experience needs to be heavily stoned or nicely caned, with somewhere to powder his nose."</p> <p>The dispute has caused embarrassment for both parties. George Michael has apologised profusely to his fans for buying the paper, although he has admitted popping out for a male on Sunday before. But the paper itself has issued a full-page apology to its readers, many of whom have cancelled their subscriptions after finding out a homosexual might have read it.</p> <p>Legal advisors for the paper hope to reach a deal with the singer, by offering to buy him the country's oldest public lavatory instead: "We've offered to meet him at the earliest convenience." </p>
