Oh please say where it came from, David. It's absolutely brilliant.

Love it. I fear "The Designer" however would mainly consist of hunched figures over expensive computers and colouring-in books, and the eating of crisps.

Brilliant, thanks David.
"...and hanging from the boat is the bra of a lady"

James: I imagine that was one of the lines composed by J. Have-a-Hand. I also believe he penned 'As well as chairs and prisoners, police officers are also trained to sit on horses. They are called mounted policemen.'
His talents are wasted, really. He would be better employed to come up with more convincing advertisements for Cadbury http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzp3RONXG0k&feature=related.
Don't you think?

Ahem. J. Have-a-Hand you say?
He's probably writing copy at one of the big agencies now...
Although I don't mind the Cadbury's ad so much, as I said here.

A guilty pleasure perhaps.
