Splore

I read this today, which says that women are more likely to remember the first pair of shoes they bought with their own money than the name of the first person they kissed. Let's see... no and Benjamin. Take that, surveyors.

Angela went Christmas shopping at lunchtime and came back with something for her teenage son: a box set of Man vs Wild DVDs, which made me laugh because... well, because what else is Bear Grylls good for? Our other colleagues had never heard of him, so Angela and I explained Bear and his oeuvre by showing them the moment when he drank the liquid out of elephant poo. What I particularly like about that is that every other time I've seen him, he's been at pains not to drink contaminated water, but this time he's happy to hoe in.

Also, is 'splore' (as in,'don't put your big splore feet on my clean floor!') a word that other people use? Or just my grandmother?
