The Dutch reach

[ColinJ]

Or even better:

Oh, brilliant, now we not only have to watch out for doors being flung open in front of us, we also have to dodge bodies plummeting down from above!

I think it would be easier to replace all cars with these

Even better, these two wheeler thingies!

During the Sydney Olympics there was a comedy team doing mock commentary most notably gymnastics where they made up terms for all the moves, including the splits which they called "a Dutch wink"

According to a documentary I saw on Illinois public access television makers back in the 90s, 'Dutch door action' is something completely different.

I telephoned Miss Goodbody to let her know about this thread, and the idea for safely opening car doors.
She giggled, and mentioned something about practising a 'reach-around' (which I presume is something similar) with the Verger. I could hear him grunting in the background, so I guess they were doing it just as I phoned.

This is genuinely bugging me: so Miss Goodbody and the Verger are into pegging?

I used to write to our local paper under the pseudonym 'Tarquin Reacharound', and they'd merrily print my letters, including the name.

I shan't google that if you don't mind, as I fear it may be something of a sexual nature. Miss Goodbody assures me that the Verger was merely attempting to show her how to not be a danger to others, under the protective shadow of his gargoyles.

...Are you that guy who spent decades writing amusing complaints and had a book out about it?

The only 'pegging' that I know involves damp washing and clotheslines ...

I am carrying out an experiment, which is to see how long I can resist the temptation to Google it. The experiment began at 18:42 on 21st Dec, 2016!

Pegging is what me and my grandmother did when we played cribbage.

We had some good games, until I realised I could read her cards in the reflection in her glasses.

I didn't want to spoil the game, but after making the discovery it was hard not to take a quick glance now and again.

Feck me, you two were close!

"One for nobs" is transported into a whole new world of games! Hope the humble 'whistful drive' is not subject to such dealings.
