A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Thanks. I just sent that round the office. It has sparked a lot of conversation. I heard someone ask "who is Nana Mouskouri?", the pliosaur thing turned into a little debate over evolution vs creationism and a couple of people started to do the Thriller dance. Good value....Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -

It's considered poor form going round popping other people's cherries for them... Very poor form indeed.
