obviously wossy.
granny sex joke is so wossy.
......was stuck in the chicken!
badoom tish
The difference between "kinky" and "perverted"?
"Kinky" is when you use a feather...
"Perverted" is when you use the whole chicken.
Also ba-dum-tish!
Old as the hills Iain.
If you have a tawdry mind, as I do, then this error by The Independent is worth a titter.
