Thanks, Mary. And the new WoD is: Right, folks, what is a sossebrangle? And remember: we don�t want the real meaning*, but rather the whimsical products of your fevered imaginations � the wittier the better. * it�s a dialect word from the south of England,I believe

A sossebrangle is a very old kind of Anglo-Saxon sausage or burger that was made with insects and left-over vegetables in times of austerity. It is still eaten in some parts of Northumberland and Durham, as I �m sure Lynne will attest.  |

It was the last message from the Titanic :
S.O.S The Brain Angle means : We are sinking due to the captain �s stubborness...
So this is the state of mind of someone unable to change mind when necessary and unable to take the right decision. |
