    Default What the Elf do you think you're doing?

    A man accused of a stealing underwear from a shop in a knifepoint raid believed he was a female elf at the time, Belfast Crown Court has heard.
    He is accused of stealing two sets of bras, knickers, suspender belts and stockings from the shop on Lisburn Road on 14 December, 2005.

    That's put a little bit of sunshine in my day. Roll on the puns.....
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    You should have more sympathy for the mentally ill, especially when the have to rely on the National Elf Service for their shrinks.

    Does beg the question though - is it a He or a Sidhe?

    Well, to be perfectly honest, regarding both the "Sidhe" and "goblin teasmade" references...

    I had to both. "Sidhe" - excellent BG. I did find the "goblin" joke (naughty naughty). Now I get IA's reference ( ) but, alas, I don't get the joke.

    GG, I'll tell you that Sidhe is pronounced "shee" and it is the term for earthen mounds in which people used to think elves and fairies come from. Now go back and read BG's post (#3).

    I ain't goin' near the golin reference...

    Sidhe,

    easy 'nuff. Though I must admit I had to wiki'd it to get the joke.

    Of the goblin teasmade allusion I have no clue whatsoever, except that a teasmade is some sort of An Apparatus Whereby a Cup of Tea or Coffee is Automatically Made (tm), whatever that's supposed to mean.

    I hope he doesn't hurt his elf.

    Someone probably hypnotized him. Not long ago, I have seen a lot of hypnotizing on tv.

    I know what "Sidhe" are... but the goblin teasmade, I have found out what it is but I have figured out what the joke is... although it seems to be a product for suckers made by one.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
