notes

• I've never quite understood the attraction of a funeral pyre; honouring someones greatness by putting them on a never to be eaten barbecue
• 'That's going to ruffle some feathers' he said as if he'd just spotted Chicken Licken deep in conversation with Colonel Saunders.
• As good ideas went it was on par with Geordie Le Forge fetching the Worzels to come and fix the tractor beam.
• He looked panicky, like a Cretan being introduced to a polygraph.
• He looked as happy as a Minotaur receiving a sat-nav for Xmas.
• Un-sportsmanlike and unfair, like suggesting going first in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissor, Tank.
• Formula 1 = Chariots of Dire

I've never quite understood the attraction of a funeral pyre; honouring someones greatness by putting them on a never to be eaten barbecue
Not my most subtle of observations I'm afraid.

That's going to ruffle some feathers he said, as if he had just spotted Chicken Licken deep in conversation with Colonel Saunders.
I'm not sure how patronising I am being by giving you these links: Chicken Licken and
Colonel Saunders  Gosh, that's certainly a more upbeat, sprightly version of him they choose to use on the sides of their buckets)

As good ideas went it was on par with Geordi Le Forge fetching the Worzels to come and fix the tractor beam
As good ideas went it was on par with Geordi Le Forge fetching the Worzels to come and fix the tractor beam . I'm thinking a metaphor is probably no good when you have to employ three hyperlinks in one sentence to make it understandable to anyone other than yourself.

 He looked panicky, like a Cretan being introduced to a Polygraph 
 He looked panicky like a Cretan being introduced to a Polygraph. Make that two hyperlinks.

He looked as happy as a Minotaur receiving a sat-nav for Xmas
I am going to let this one stand unexplained as I'm sure there is only so much patronising your pretty little head can endure in one go.

Un-sportsmanlike and unfair, like suggesting going first in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissor, Tank.

Formula 1 = Chariots of Dire
Harsh but fair.
