mincers    Noun. Eyes. From the Cockney rhyming slang 'mince pies'.

[RED-DOG]

1.    mincers
Eyes. Abbreviation for mince pies; Cockney Rhyming Slang for eyes.
Use yer mincers.

2.    Mincers    
   

Freakishly small feet, especially on a male.
"Look at the mincers on that dude!" or "Why can't you just get on your mincers and prance away from me."

[tikay]

So, Red's sources say one's "mincers" are one's eyes, yes?

Stand by your beds for incoming rebuttal from Ralph. Old peeps are like that, obdurate & stubborn.

Any second now......

Come off it tikay, you know it takes old people at least an hour to type out a post.

It doesn't add up in my book I'm afraid.

Mince-pies have always been "minces" and blokes who walk funny have always been ""mincers" and the two should not be confused for obvious reasons.

I used to play snooker with a guy in Nottingham years ago and he would refer to the pink ball as the "pen and ink" which used to drive me potty. I told him over and over again that "pen and ink" was CRS for stink and that the "kitchen" as in "kitchen sink" was the correct term for the pink ball.

I must have told him fifty times if I told him once but he was old and stubborn and would not accept it.

In the end I realised that he was just calling it the "pen and ink" to wind me up. I still won the money mind you.

Objection over-ruled, result stands. Karabiner will be stood down for 3 days for careless writing.

[RED-DOG]

careless writing.

That tickled me more than it should have really.

Note to self: Must get out more.

A little less cheek from you, Ace Ventura.

Irony is so wasted on the youth of today.

A blonde friend - thank you, Mr F - sent me this.

It occurred, I think, 2 days ago, & yet despite being an avid newspaper reader & TV News watcher, I had somehow missed it. Perhaps it never got much coverage, perhaps I just missed it.

Had it been in the UK, there would have been immense coverage, but it was the other side of the world, so I guess it's deemed to be not newsworthy. Just imagine if this happened in Birmingham, or Henley-on-thames, or Liverpool.

You've probably not heard much about this either, but for very different reasons.

Yes I knew about this one, for all the wrong reasons - the superinjunction had the opposite effect to that desired.

Again, imagine it was Brighton, instead of Cote d'Ivoire, & folks in Hove, Hickstead & Worthing were dying from the after-effects, what a hoohah there would have been.

I really must take a break, to re-charge my batteries, I semi-tired all the time.

When I was on the diet, I sprung out of bed at 6am every morning, full of zing & zest, but now I struggle to get up before 9am, & everythings an effort. I'm piling weight back on, & don't feel as good physically or mentally. It seems to be uphill every day, but it's all self-inflicted.

I'm increasingly convinced that eating decent food & getting enough sleep made me feel so much better in the first 6 months of 2010, & yet, here I am, not doing either, feeling shite, & not quite being able to find the umptz to do anything about it.

[boldie]

Why not go back to the diet then? Is it that difficult to switch back?
