Pompino translates as blowjob?

How on earth....

Italian. Try here.

I have a Saracen.

To the best of my recollection, I've never raped, pillaged, or waged war in the name of religion in my life.

A few years ago my dad bought my mum for a birthday present a Peguot tadem, when informed of this my gran said "two door or four door?"

The shop had sold out of deep fat fryers and wallpaper pasting tables.

Gazelle is a popular bike brand in The Netherlands. But their anything like gazelles - they're built-like-a-tank Dutch bikes.

Thanks to the sterling efforts of our best LBS, York is plagued by Gazelles.

These lumbering behemoths can only be ridden at what can best be called a stately pace, so woe betide anyone who gets stuck behind one of them in a narrow cycle lane. Worse still it can be almost impossible to pass them as they have ultra wide handlebars, and, if that is not enough, many owners find a need to fit them with giant wicker baskets so that in the end they take up as much road space as many a juggernaut.

They may be a suitable form of transport for stoned out Dutch hippies who just want to pootle along by a canal, but I am not sure if they have any place in a modern British city.

No but he had bought her in previous years, a socket set (with both metric and imperial), an arc-welder.

He was clearly trying to butter your mum up for some reason...

Specialized.

They've never seen me ride...

So that would be a "Speshul"ised then

I have a Cube Agree but not once has somebody stopped me in the street and said " Yea, I think that as well "

I was in that very LBS last week, and tried to lift one of those graceful Gazelles, just to see how heavy it really was. Nearly broke my arm. And I'm used to riding a Pashley...
