Has Anyone A Copy Of 'Fowler's Dictionary Of Modern English Usage' To Hand?

Is 's***hole' not more of a word to describe a place rather than a person?

Heaving Up A Hip And Breaking Wind.

I did that, without thinking, in company of some friends.  Would such behaviour be accepted if I were to be invited to dine with the king?

Some Time Ago I Suggested That The Zionists Might Want A Ratio...

...10-1 of deaths as revenge for the Hamas attack on them.  I thought that they'd look for a number about 20,000. Are they close to that yet?

Do Police Stations Still Accept Lost Property?

I found a sum of money in the city centre this morning.  It wasn't a fortune but it might mean a lot to whoever lost it. I'll hand it into the police station if they'll accept it.
