    I needed to use the word diarrhoea quite frequently in my job ... I'm usually quite good at spelling, but that's a word that always floored me ... in the end I wrote it out and pinned it on the wallboard next to my desk ... much to the office cleaner's disgust ... she thought it totally unnecessary and for a while she was sure I'd done it to annoy her lol

    Oh, I don't know. I've had mad vicars prancing about in my imagination for the best part of forty years. I'm very fond of them now.

    I tend to write it as 'dire rear'. Technically inaccurate but conveys the necessary information.

    OK, so now I'm stuck with that awful joke about the Dire Straits record featuring Chris Rhea - nooooooo don't want it in my head
