offlineMemberThanks guys. I really really hope this isn't an old joke. I know there's the line about "Stuart Adamson was a Big Country member" - "Yeah, I remember", but this one seems different enough...

I was actually a country member of a (cheap and nasty) golf club years ago, as Stan will no doubt remember.

offlineMemberWasn't that the line about "When we were a kingdom we had a King ... Now we're a country we've got Margaret Thatcher"? Another good line - they suspended him for a bit, and the BBC radio boss said "A few listeners appear to have detected an innuendo."
Lovely stuff.Posted 2 years ago # -

Fantastically, it seems there actually is an air freshener of that name, for use in hospitals and schools! I'm so happy!
But it seems that I've missed the ticker for today... I wonder if this one was a bit too below the belt for the editorial team... :-)

I prefer the second explanation. :-)Seriously, it's the kind of joke that may not be subtle observation, but that people would talk about, and might bring people to the site, in my humble - it's a "facebook sharer".
I'll write it up into an FP later.

Now, whenever I see those Calvin Klein adverts using 'CK' in the tag line, I can't help but be reminded. No doubt 'Country Fresh' will have the same effect. 5 stars.
