That's brilliant.

I suspect Frank is quoting from Viz Top Tips - but so am I!
Spaghetti bolognaise makes great intestines for a badly wounded Action Man.

Actually Keys, I either saw it on some whacko TV kids show years ago, or got it from a Christmas cracker.

Ok Frank.
By the way I think that you having 'The Knowledge' is a real achievement - I remember a drama many years ago on that very topic.

Regarding The Knowledge, that Jack Rosenthal show was on TV just as I was nearing the end of it, and about 6 weeks from getting my Green Badge.
All London taxi drivers are convinced that Nigel Hawthorne's character was based on a Mr. Finlay, a legend at the Public Carriage Office.
He wasn't there when I was doing the K, but stories about him were rife, one nervous applicant moved his chair closer to Mr. Finlay's desk during "an appearance", and was asked if he now worked for Pickfords Removals, as his résumé said that he was a postman.
The examiners didn't just test your knowledge of London's streets and landmarks, they tested your temperament too.
I was asked on one appearance, "by which street would you leave a certain City courtyard?"
There were 3 possibilities, I named the obvious one, he said, "No", (this didn't mean I was wrong, he wanted to know if I could name the alternatives), I named another, he said "No" again, I named the last one and he said, "No, you obviously don't know it."
At which point I rose from my chair and said, "Don't fucking tell me that I don't know it!"
He looked over his glasses and said, "Would you say that to your passenger?"
I learned an important lesson that day, be VERY careful what you say to the examiner.
