Is that better or worse than being a sod?

I don't know.

 

But I've never gotten a good answer to this question:

THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE AN "I" IN THERE, PEOPLE!!!

 

. . . bloody tossers. 

My apologies for my spelling mistakes, but I'm typing this while watching "Lost". So my attention is split. Without spoilers, does anything ever happen in thus program?

I don't know.

Thank you! My life now makes complete sense.

 

That must be an English phrase, no one in Scotland knew what it was. They thought I was being daft.

It comes from Sloan Square, an expensive area of London.
