No, that gives you the colours in completely the wrong order.

kids don't relate to it - basically
now something related to virgins and you know every boys will remember it after the first mention!
Physics teacher referred to the ICE cycle as Induction, Compression, Power, Exhaust
One of his colleague took us next lesson and we were confused about it and he mentioned
Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow
which I still remember - and work out the proper version from that

I think that used to be in my job description
OK it was in invisible ink - but it was certainly there
The Head Teacher pretty much admitted it - when she left her replacement didn;t see me in the same light - I left!

"You'll never watch your life slide out of view,
And dance and drink,
Cos there's nothing else to do!"
Er, well, IIRC, there was one other thing to do...
Was it really necessary to lop 2 words out of a song in case anybody might really be offended by the idea that the person who wants to sleep with Common People might actually do it?!
As opposed to the original...

I now receive more interest on an instant access account (with hardly anything in it) then I do on a one year bond that I took out six months ago.

Does depend on the length of teh bar and the number of people there
I have been to places where the bar is crowded but there is effectively a queue (an anathema in itself ina pub!) caused by there only beingone or two gaps in the locals standing at the bar
and in other places where there are section of bar stools where people sit and gaps where the bar staff can concentrate on serving people
What does grind my gears is when the locals sit there and every so often wave their glass at a bar person and expect to be served next - when there are 5 others waiting
so bar staff deal with this well - other not so well!

I really hate this too. Some places there's room for 10 people at the bar, and they might have 3 bar staff on the go. But stupid people who stand or sit at the bar drinking, only leaves room for one person at a time to order. Then when you have to muscle in beside a "stander", they look at you like you've just walked into their lounge at home and p*ssed on their kids
