A friend of mine used to say that he liked particular words because they had a nice "woody sound", which meant basically that they were very expressive, solid or just 'sound ' somehow pleasing or very apt... ( not usually swear words lol ).

I was reminded of it by Sue using the word "crud" lol do you have a favourite word or words...just because you like the sound of them?

Talking of Woody words.... How about a touch of Downtown Abbey via Monty Python.

Crikey, Rose! I thought that was a reference to my words of wisdom but haven't been on here much in yonks!

"Prat" sounds good to me, especially with all I've read tonight, and that was really just one thread!!

Good ol' Gr.... When you can't sleep (I prefer drinking chocolate to cocoa but it didn't work!) you can always guarantee to find a prat on here!
