    Darling, I wouldn't be seen dead in American Tan - it's barely black all the way, with a slight sheen, to keep the boys keen!

    My cerise panties are reserved solely for special occasions.

    Very popular with bank robbers though - I imagine they're seen dead in them sometimes.

    By coincidence I learned yesterday that cerise is Spanish for cherry. How about that, remembering something 24 hours later! Must be the wholesome weekend I had at Cranage

    Tanks for that bit of random knowledge many here were wondering and trying to picture it.

    Maybe next year at carnage we , as fellows members, should all ware red underpants over our trousers, we could pretend to be Superman on holiday to the unaffiliated

    Or maybe have our own room, or scrounge from willing distributor, and bring same stuff from home...or reserved table at bar...

    Wat about Art of sound badges (stained glass ones of course none of that cheap plastic)

    I'm not sure if it even comes with a stylus guard or matching fixings for the tapped holes. The reviewer makes a lot of fuss about the packaging, but ignores more important matters.

    The spec is incomplete: no mention of the velocity at which the output is quoted; no mention of the frequency at which the compliance is quoted, and no mention of the effective tip mass of the stylus.

    Maybe the designer tried a variety of colour finishes and found 'cerise' sounded the best?

    As ever, a veritable mine of information. Your homework now is to find out what Spanish is for 'pop yer cherry'.

    All look like good ideas. Although, inspired by Alan Firebottle's pants, I'm on the lookout for the loudest, brightest Hawaiian shirt possible (must have parrots on it).

    Marco is the man to see about stained glass. And also stained bedsheets. And he'll have plenty of red (sorry cerise) underpants to dish out, all with stains on them too.

    Stains are extra, and priced accordingly, depending on scent and texture. Some of the more exotic pongs can be pricey.
