No nothing to do with the silliness this week.
I came across a comment on a political column about the place being a centre of hinge manufacturing in the recent past..
Apparently there is a pub called The Hingemakers Arms.

Interesting.
I'm surprised we haven't heard a journalist talk about this week being "pivotal", or a "swinging door moment", or saying "a lot hinges on these events."

That would be the butt of all jokes.

I've been trying to get Rise and Fall in there somehow.

But that wouldn't have got you where you are today.

Jokes aren't my piano forte.

I suppose some will say that it was a pivotable event, all being firmly Pinned down and Knuckles wrapped.

 

[AndyP]

I expect the loser will be well and truly brassed off.

Serves them right, for being thin skinned, should have put up a solid defence.

That would rely on them doing some kind of research and actual journalism work...

There's one or two of them posting in the thread, and we're mainly doing puns. I'm not sure that moderators need to involve themselves in puns about hinges.

Will it make much difference? I believe it won't be long before Parliament goes into Recess.

I wasn't being serious.

 

[AndyP]

Who would have thought we could get so much mileage from such an innocuous subject.

Keep ‘em coming or this thread will Self Close.

This thread needs a fire rating.
