bus racing

Outdoor game in London, or any other congested city. Players must race against a bus on foot. Very easy in the West End, much more difficult in suburbs. Very similar to bus pontoon.

"The tube was on strike again so I spent the day bus racing"

london box

Inner London motorway system planned in the 1970s but never built (hence the horrendous jams today). Term can be used for any worthwhile government project that never materialises, such as the often touted "Birmingham underground" system.

The government will never build an underground system in Birmingham. It will be just like the London Box. Maybe there was a deal in the 1960s that Birmingham will get reasonable roads and London will get reasonable trains.

sexed up

Something which happens to sensitive MI5 documents (especially WMD dossiers) and gets endlessly discussed afterwards.

BBC news: "Dossier sexed up blah blah..."
Tony Blair: "Im going to get Lord Hutton to publish a report damning the BBC in order to turn it into my political mouthpiece! Hoorah!"
