Sorry to appear as thick as plank of mince, but could you explain what a plank of mince is? We don't appear to have those in California. Are they as thick as John Prescott, for example?

I was combining two expressions, both meaning stupid: "as thick as a plank" -- probably the second most common British simile for thickness after "as thick as two short planks" (which has led to "plank" becoming a synonym for "idiot" in recent years) -- and "as thick as mince" -- a Scottish expression.

Mr Prescott was unavailable for comment.

If you're really that interested, here's an RSS feed for the latest comments to this blog. Never miss another pointless argument.

Of course comments are moderated, in a common-sense sort of a way. You don't have to give your email address to post here.

If you know your HTML, you can use <a>, <b>, and <i> tags, and entities, too. If you don't, you can still use them, but with a greater sense of trepidation.

Cheers.
