Right, we will let you off the hook this time but you have to agree to leave this thread right away and never ever come back.

Yes! We finally got rid of Rob!

Are you sure? Seebs is incredibly strong and fights like a tiger. You will be Moriarty on the top of Reichenbach Falls to his Holmes. We all know what happened to Moriarty.

And we all know what actually happened to Holmes before Conan Doyle bowed to pressure and kept his most famous invention .

No, we don't. At the risk of flogging this dead horse into another (hopefully last) trot around the racetrack, do tell?

Oh, well Conan Doyle killed Holmes off in that book, but the public were unhappy about this and he eventually relented and brought Holmes back in the most implausible way imaginable.

I hate to use Wikipedia as a source, but, hey, it's fun.

/ executes his Mistress Plan thus cunningly avoiding the tangled web of Jazhara's bureaucracy.

Hello, I'm from forensics. I'm afraid I'm going to have to Insist you all leave this thread so I can secure the crime scene and gather evidence of how this thread came to be killed.

I fully expect to find beard hair, brightly coloured threads from some sort of shirt (quite likely an evil one) and a calculator. This being the case the murderer can clearly only be one person.

Well, I've heard it used as a term to describe ugly people. By those with no manners whatsoever.

You mean like first-year students at Oxford?

I don't like the word "minging". But then, I don't like the use of the word "fit" to describe someone attractive, which is why I always make bad jokes about gymnasiums around anyone who uses it.

As for other first-year students, most likely some of them do. Given that Oxford isn't just a bunch of upper class, posh toffs from the English gentry, and that there are people from a pretty diverse range of backgrounds/countries, I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear it used .

As Chieft Inspector, I need to know these things. It helps me get a hold of scoundrels.
