an outbreak of BJORKING

What we learnt from last night's Telly

Caught a bit of Studio 60 :on the sunset strip last night, it's still not that vital or engrossing, also I got confused as Lucy Davis (everyone adds "from the Office" but she's really "from The Archers" or should that be "from Jasper Carrot's loins"!) was playing similar role in "Californication" (which is strangely moralistic).

Anyway I was gladdened to see a that Josh Lyman (sic) (or whatever he's called) and the bland brunette who's meant to run CBNBCITV or (whatever it's called) got stuck on the roof and had to Bjork!

"Bjork: the act of waving your mobile in the air to try to send off a text message in areas of bad reception. "

Larry David who follows on from all this would make an entire (and not always that funny) show out of the problem of Skem

a load of Skem

Sadly it can’t be added to after the passing of Douglas Adams but his books with John Lloyd “The Meaning of Liff “ which gave place names to experiences/objects in life for which there was no existing word was most useful (and very funny)!
I’m proposing a new one:

Skem: (noun) "the residual amount of cappuccino spume which clings to a coffee cup and which can’t be dislodged even when the cup is inverted and vigorously shaken".

citation: " you spend 3 quid on a mug of milky weak coffee and 10 bob of it ends up as a load skem stook to the bottom of ya cup"


For more on the place.
