h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hmm... I hope the moderators have a few asterisks left for the unfortunate "Peter D***o - 'Physical 2000'" which can be found on Annie Nightingale's playlist at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/dance/nightingale_tracklisting_171200.shtml

Perhaps the review of the film 'Live Virgin' at http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2001/02/06/like_virgin_1999_dvd_review.shtml could be looked at too, as it refers to "...Robert Loggia, who destroys a TV with a d***o...".

And as for the anagram of David Ginola on BBC Radio Scotland's page...

My favourite word is the name of a city in Africa: Ouagadougou (pronounced Wagga-Doo-Goo)

There is a village in Newfoundland called D***o. Really there is!

That's the first example of evil moderation I've seen... ridiculous. Even its meaning's fairly innocuous- maybe they thought we'd all get innappropriate ideas.
Hah.
Circles, pantaloons, excruciating, falsetto, mundane, slurp, father, soup, foul, gumboots, traditional, trudge, trundle-bed, hornswaggle, rootin' tootin' cowboy tricks.

I don't know what ideas you were getting Mandragora, but I was thinking of the Cereus family of cactii, as it's been their common name for over 300 years

Amazing... no, I was not thinking of cacti. I was reminded of an entry from the Encyclopaedia of Unusual Sex Practices.
Which does not involve cacti- it's probably a play on words, or a simulcoinage.

Curiouser and curiouser... Shakespeare & co used the term to mean a chorus or refrain. Please bear that in mind when reading the following lines from Ben Jonson's 'The Alchemist':

The empty walls worse than I left 'em, smok'd,
A few crack'd pots, and glasses, and a furnace;
The ceiling fill'd with poesies of the candle,
And "Madam with a d***o" writ o' the walls.

Anything's funny if you stick an 'adge' on the end.
"No sleeves?" when said in questioning tones in Broad Yorkshire style is immensely amusing.
