I would take my best girlfriend to the Virgin Islands and have a picnic on the beach, she's been going through some tuff times and could use a break.

Bob, english slang for 12 old pence, 10 bob = 10 shillings, hence no such thing as 9 bob note therefor it must be, english slang, "bent", the rest is guessable,

I've always meant that drinking too much tea warps your mind into something unrecognizable.

What? John Gielgud was hot. Hm, or maybe I just like any man who can read me Shakespeare. The accent doesn't hurt either. :!)

Yes, Sir. I aw them swiming together. In fact, they have to swim in private since no one want to swim with them.
