Obstropolous. Now there's a word.

[Bbbananas]

Did you know that's where the word 'stroppy' came from? I never really thought about it until today.

And it always reminds me of Hilda Baker - she of the pickle factory and "she knows y'know..."

[mccfluff]

i love that word, its great!

[Ankou]

not obstreperous ?

[Bbbananas]

Not if you're Hilda Baker - she was renowned for her mispronounciation. As was my Nan.

You're probably correct - but obstropolous is how I've always thought of it ;-)
You ockard (awkward) old bugger !

[rinkins]

Isn't that the name of the man who runs the launderette in 'Enders?!

[Bbbananas]

I thought that was Mr Pappadoppolous....?!!

[Bbbananas]

Talking of which... isn't EE cr@p at the minute?

[rinkins]

Just love it when Dot tries to say it :-)

[Bbbananas]

What's happened to Dot? Last time I saw her she was in a bed.. and as far as I know she hasn't got out of it since. That was about 3 months ago.... And what happened to Dottie Demon-Child?

dot got bundled into one the industrial dyers by nick. dimwitted heather hasn't found her yet and has now gone off on maternity leave. so i think she is still in there. at least she'll be warm and dry in winter.
