  1. Ah yes, the locally famous 'long-legged' Wibbleses ? It's pretty much phonetic as written mate, Fly Ford Flav - Ell. A mate of mine used to run the Flyford Arms, a proper village pub with some decent cask ales on draught. Also, let's not forget the wonderfully named Bell End - just up the road past Droitwich.
  2. That's where I am - on the 'Welsh' side of the river ?
  3. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ^^^^^^^^^^ You just ear-wormed me you bugger ?
  4. Quite simply the best ever cover song ...................... ever ?
  5. Yay!! An honourable mention from Bill ?
  6. Harsh, but fair ? @craigb - I've delved quite deeply (as you might imagine) into etymology as it really interests me. For my sins, I had to study Latin at school and although I loathed it at the time, it certainly helps in getting a handle on the roots from which a lot of modern words derive. As per your examples, a lot of things happen to share the same words, but the derivation/source of that particular word may be completely different. Edit - spelling [now there's irony ?]
