Who thinks this stuff up! – By Des Kelly

English has always been a strange, but interesting language. In this particular instance, the prose is solely intended for readers to have a bit of fun, with. From time to time, quotes such as these have come into Facebook, quite a few, not fit to be published, because of the coarse “lingo”involved. As everyone knows, or should know, this writer has never been a “wowser”, swears with the best of them, and will write “HARD”, when I have to, but somehow, do not like to see epithets, four letter words etc., in print.

     eLanka readers especially, deserve better, and in this article, “Who thinks this stuff up”, they get it, much better than an article titled “Who thinks this is A stuff-up, I suppose.
