"Services to and from London Bridge are subject to delays, short running and cancellations due to severe weather" announcement at Brockley station this morning. Well there was 4cm of snow and it was actually snowing but it doesnt quite fit my criteria for the end of civilization as we know it. -- Martin |

A fiasco was originally just a bit of posh Venetian glassware that didn't turn out perfectly, but was still good enough to sell as a 'second'. -- http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p12161563.html (Red Parcels Bubble 55995 at London Liverpool Street in 1991) |

My late father-in-law used to refer to me, before I married his daughter, as "Our lass's fiasco". Maybe I should have read more into his deliberate malapropism. -- Terry Harper http://www.terry.harper.btinternet.co.uk |
