    PYTHON...........PYTHON was leave granted after a certain number of years overseas.
    I know that LIAP was Leave in Advance of Python and LULAP was leave in leu of Python, my old AB64 is written 'started PYTHON tour' and date but I've never found out what PYTHON stands for?
    Yes I've heard most of the funnies but does any one know?

    Slightly o/t - when Kick Racism Out Of Football was in the news, I thought they were bound to come up with some cheesy acronym (KROOF?) but they didn't.

    So I came up with Keep All Football Free (of) Institutionalised Racism -KAFFIR.

    Medical acronyms can be a maze and a real pain.

    One that immediately springs to mind is: - PENIS: Practical Exercise Not Involving Soldiers.

    FLOB has been noted on the corners of some of the bumf that clogs up life.
    F*cking Load of Old B*llocks.
    If it ain't broke, fiddle with it a bit. Then have another look...
    The BNP freephone number is 08000086191. Every call costs them money so don’t abuse it by, say, leaving it off the hook from a payphone.
