Five Star Fur Lined Ocean Going Balls Up

Made famous by the Channel 4 programme 'Grand Designs' in the UK by one of the owners of the houses being built, a Five Star Fur Lined Ocean Going Balls Up means that something has been a major catastrophe from start to finish, a complete and utter screw up. This is possibly just the perfect thing to say when something has gone just about as wrong as it can!

We made a five star fur lined ocean going balls up of that, didn't we!

Muppet Friendly Society

The muppet friendly society is something that developed during the late 1990's and early 2000's, whereby everything is explained in a play school like fashion, everything in such a society is safe and designed for low intelligence people so that even they cannot get it wrong or will not make them feel thick, even things that are obvious and self explanatory require detailed instructions with words AND pictures. Some people may know all of this as 'dumbing down' but I think that this term is more appropriate.

Britain, The muppet friendly society, where even bus stations have to have notices warning about moving vehicles.

vauxhall corsa

Small compact range of european hatchbacks and saloons which were introduced in Germany in 1982 as Opel Corsa and Vauxhall Nova in Britain in 1983, this was then replaced in 1993 with an all new car which took on the european name and remains in production to this day, 2 new versions on. These cars are invariably owned by Neds or chavs depending on which side of Hadrians wall you are from. Your typical older Corsa will sport a very large bore exhaust which looks like a catering size tin of beans and makes the vehicle fart, it will have aftermarket alloy wheels which look absurd and are about as tasteful as a frilly toilet seat, normally has a spoiler on the roof that looks just like an ironing board, a body kit that looks like a 5 year old designed it, which incidentally is normally cracked and has smears of fibreglass paste on it, it will usually be adorned with stupid 'lexus look' taillights which are poorly made and let in water and just look crap! All of this and you'd think it was some 200BHP firebreathing monster, right? Nope! We are talking about a lusty 3 Cylinder, 973cc, 52 BHP powerhouse! The ultimate acoutriment for the tube about town!

The Vauxhall Corsa, Once driven, forever neddified!
