Leon's Promotion

[GordonY]

"I think there is a portrait in the attic myself!"

In that case Leon might have just boobed by moving. 

unless of course he actually cleared the attic himself.

And some of up just keep posting to keep ahead of Techno! 

Yeah, I remember him when he was just a sprog designer. Or is that a designing sprog? 

[Techno]

Don't think I've ever designed a sprog.
I'll see if I can talk Leon into releasing a range of them, if they'd be popular..
Cheers - Phil.

Bonkers, the lot of you 

[Last Hussar]

Deep and meaningful post.

Honest

Bonkers, the lot of you 

Probably why I feel so at home here.

I see sprogs as sort of hairy and sullen, carrying a primitive club with a few nails sticking out of it. The tribe would have a few specialists, of course, like the treasurer (the Spending Sprog), the clan Casanova (the many-sproggled thing), the EU representative (the Brussels sprog), the scapegoat (give a sprog a bad name and hang him), etc.
Either that, or they're greasy and gritty shock-absorbers about the track of the PzKpw mk. VII (Anglicised from Sprogchen, which should have an umlaut that I know not how to type here). Also in colloquial Bavarian, as in "i' bin ganz gesproggen, Hauptmann!".
I'm gibbering. Stop reading this post.

I did

I seem to remember us calling 'kids' or new 'recruits' sprogs at one stage?

Mm, I remember that appellation too.

That was the sense in which I used it - or nonsense - or what you will....

They certainly appear to be popular, there's loads of 'em about. 

Perhaps not as popular as the sort of 'design work' needed to produce a sprog...
