Well, pants would cost £25, as would a thong.  A g-string would probably cost £35, but lingerie would be £40.  Boxer shorts would be a ridiculous £55!

Thank You Ben [:)]

If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? [;)]

There is no letter 'a' to be found in the word 'numbers'.  [:-\]

Well, Omid forgot to mention that my clothing shop caters for rather specialist tastes. Ben bought my Rubber Boxer Shorts, so I managed to get away with charging him £85.  [:o]

Can John Chapman sometimes be a little bit irritating? Perhaps? Just a smidging?

"Which English word is not in the English dictionary?"

At first I thought it might be 'biodiesel' and it's not included in the Oxford English. But it is in the Cambridge Online. So now I'm stumped.

By the way, I have been addressed as 'John the Bio' by a few people at work. I keep trying to establish the nickname 'John the highly intelligent and quite good looking as well' but for some reason it hasn't stuck. Actually, I'm addressed in a whole variety of ways but 'John the Bio' is one of the few that's fit to print!

Ah! "John the bio" is pretty good! We should probably explain that in Wales (where just about everybody seems to be called Jones, it is customary to append an occupation handle as in "Jones the post".

The word I had in mind was "gullible".

Thank You Imatfaal [;D]

What's so peculiar about this sentence?

I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications' incomprehensibleness. [;)]

Well Done Imatfaal, omid impressed [;D]

What's so special about the following sentence?

A big cuddly dog emitted fierce growls, happily ignoring joyful kids licking minute nuts on pretty queer rotten smelly toadstools underneath vampires who x-rayed young zombies[;)]
