16. Tom Chance Posted: Feb 16th, 2007 at 10:53 am

    16 A hearty hustle of Harriets and Helens, inevitably followed by a resolute rustle of Rachels.

17. Freda Posted: Feb 16th, 2007 at 12:06 pm

22. Duncan Posted: Feb 19th, 2007 at 1:43 pm

    22 A rash of Rachels

23. Rachel Posted: Feb 21st, 2007 at 11:36 pm

    23 Er Duncan I take it you mean because I have an infectious personality, not that I am really irritating.

24. Rachel Posted: Feb 22nd, 2007 at 3:00 pm

    24 Phew, welll, what adventures the Laundrettes have had while the Laundry was closed? Let’s say it involved mud, flip charts, vegetables as metaphors, bunk beds, tree top ropes, a burrow and getting lost. Not all at the same time. Back to our competition, I have declared two winners this week: One is from Freida of Smithfield business centres: A migraine of Rachels Harsh but fair! And for Paul Kiernan for A rounding (up) of sacks I like this one, it’s A1 (reminds me of a story) for effort, there were some sillier (funnier?) (sorry Paul) ones but this one has class. I also like the non commital use of brackets (an embellishment of brackets?). WELL done fellows, your prizes will be in the post.

    25 where is my (good) pressie……..?

26. Helen Posted: Mar 8th, 2007 at 10:58 am

    26 Rachel’s off sunning herself on holiday at the moment so The Laundry pixies are having to work extra hard to cope in her absence hence the teeny weeny delay in sending out pressies, but fear not, highlighted in bright pink on our to do list is SEND OUT GOOD PRESSIES TO FABULOUS PEOPLE WHO WROTE CLEVER THINGS ON THE BLOG so it will happen today, it’s a fail safe method of making sure things get done.

    27 The collective noun for baboons is commonly troop or congress, although flange is also becoming common. This unusual term originates from a Not the Nine O’Clock News comedy sketch entitled “Gerald The Intelligent Gorilla” where it was used for comic effect. It lead me and my brother to wonder in what situation you could legitimately use it, such as in the jungle: “Quick, run! I’m being pursued by and angry Flange!” / “There’s a huge marauding flange on the mountain top”.
