Désirée potatoes.

What a name! Surely there must be a story behind it? Some man in ragged-topped wellies with an allotment, who comes up with a new potato variety inspired by a woman in a floaty nylon négligée. I imagine her with big firm boobs, which have a yellowish flesh and are very versatile. They are probably not exactly married, although theirs is not a Loving Wife story.

Hi, Honey

King Edward and Désirée! There's another story. The ermine topped wellies and the nylon négligée.

Tennis skirts

In the words of the great Eric Gill ...

If skirts should get much shorter,
Said the flapper with a sob,
There’ll be two more cheeks to powder
And one more place to bob!

Oh well, I suppose I will forgive you. Since you are grovelling and have paid up the requisite kiss .

I alway got quite annoyed when the "theme" from 'Charade' was played on the radio. They never played the actual theme, only the song. But since we are there,

Enemy at the Gates

(I seem to be in filmic mode just now.)
