Overheard secretsWhen I was a barman, I stood by polishing a glass as a couple had a hushed argument two feet away about what they were going to do now she was pregnant. The bloke promised to leave his wife, but subsequent hushed arguments revealed that he did not. What have you overheard?

I had one of these. One of Tandy's finest.I recall showing it off to my mum, only for it to jump frequencies and land on
"...he said it's pubic lice..."
I was about 8 at the time and, as my mother's reaction intrigued me, a trip to the library soon followed...

Hah!Reminds me of when I read Spike Milligan's amusing wartime memoirs at about 14 and therein read of 'crabs' for the first time. I naturally asked my mother what they were but she wouldn't tell me. I had no idea at all.
I too tried the library and various dictionaries, to no avail. Eventually I mentioned it to a mate and she explained it to me. Being all of 15, she knew EVERYTHING.
