    I don't tip the gamekeeper unless he shoots the rabbits and gives my wife one.

    Gives your wife a rabbit or gives her one?

    Of course - and a lot easier than riding a boat and sailing a horse I can tell you!

    21) ... Is not a vegetarian.

    So all the vegans are modern gentlemen, eh? Nice one.

    Number 23 I can barely tell the difference between Glenda Jackson and Johnnie Jackson, I would say Johnnie has the better legs.
    Number 20 Only when I am drunk
    Number 27 See above

    No 5 down to a fine art.
    15 would be a fine thing.
    What is wrong with lilac socks!

    25.
    How to you train a rose. You just plant it and it grows. It won't respond to verbal commands or encouragement.

    19. Can undo a bra with one hand, leave it out a true Gent doesn't wear a bra

    Love how (19) "can undo a bra with one hand" follows directly on from (18) "has two tricks to entertain children with"!!

    And for my second trick kids...I'll just be using my teeth to remove the lady's undercrackers!! :blush:

    Too much detail, Swiss Tony...after the bra it's onto (20)singing lustily in church, then probably confession
