You don't get to say this every day, but I bought (most of) a goat from a guy right around there in Leigh. We made curry out of it. Goat curry is the tits.
Bad enough to go at all, but so early and leaving behind so many cool toys.
I came across the smaller of his two mega yachts berthed in Cape Town years ago. It was quite a sight, complete with Eurocopter and a private submarine.
Was always kind of an odd pairing. Owning any Devialet product is fucking exhausting, just keeping up with the continual "enhancements" is like a full time job.
I think it was probably originally a bastardization of "piece of cake" and "piss easy". But yeah, "piece of piss" in Brit slang would be the equivalent of "no sweat" etc. in the US.
Alec took the SSAT high school entrance exam today. Asked him how it went and the sum total feedback was: "Piece of piss! Let's go to Subway, I'm starving."
Let's hope this optimistic assessment is in fact borne out once the scores come back.
