    "Asked to bring back a German prisoner for questioning, BB set up a
    fake road diversion. Soon a German dispatch rider on his motorbike,
    following BB’s signs, drove directly onto the beach where Bentley-
    Buckle was waiting."

    you've just been Ginged by a man on a paraffin-fueled bike.

    You should be ashamed[1].

    [1] not for the Gingeing, just generally.

    I can't think of a way to broach this subject with my mother who just
    happened to spend about 20 years as matron at a public school.

    Or half the England cricket team. At least foreigners have too much
    pride in their adapted country to throw the game so I'll not complain
    until we're 3-0 down in the Ashes.

    Rusted and ropy.
    Dog-eared old copy.
    Vintage and classic,
    or just plain Jurassic:
    all words to describe me.

    "made into a film, Albert RN, but Bentley-Buckle’s true wartime adventures,
    behind enemy lines in Italy and Yugoslavia, were even stranger than
    fiction."

    Which made me think that we haven't recently heard of Krusty's brother
    lunacy trip...

    somewhere between Albania & Slovenia.

    smile. He strikes me as the kinda guy that's a cheeky fucker. :)
