Fizzy drink gas bottle
Welding gas! Surely your tongue will cleave to your palate?

Whatever Paul's excesses and failings, they're absolved just by Lady Madonna.

Donny and Marie Osmond. It was the theme song to their show.
I feel old.Gaaawd. Around 1978 there was even a Donny & Marie doll house, complete with hand-operated elevator - and separate bedrooms, natch. As Wayne (now Jayne) County once said of D & M: "I know they don't really sleep together, but in my mind they'll always sleep together."

I don't want to see MPs eating grass and sharing a urine-scented doorway with Blanket Man but a little fraking modesty wouldn't hurt.
Yeah. And not this kind of enforced modesty.

"It's hospitaliano!"
Pompa di stomaco?

Mark Taslov:
What kind of good reasons?
A real-world example: In 2007 a young relative of mine brought a school friend home with her. The shy and rather distressed teenager had been ordered out of the family home by her mother, who hailed from an Asian country with the possibly undeserved reputation of supplying younger brides for unprepossessing first-world men. The mother appeared to believe that, as her daughter had turned 16 and she no longer felt obliged to care for her, she was free to take this action.
A little adult intervention established that the mother was continuing to collect whatever benefits were available to her as her daughter's carer, and that the father was an ineffectual older invalid. Once WINZ was alerted to the situation the daughter's rights were restored, enabling her to live in independent accommodation while continuing her schooling (she's a very bright kid).
In that particular case, over the few days when another mouth needed feeding it was done according to "new world" values, simply because it was the decent thing to do. Getting "high and mighty" with the errant mother provided a quick wake-up from her rather mediaeval world view. The threat of state intervention certainly focused her attention on the reality of the situation.

Joe: If that's directed at me, thank you, sir. If you're suggesting I'm getting into that bullshit with Emma . . .
To save you the trouble of guessing again, your image of the pork chop coat sparked a little Monday morning free association. I did wonder, though, if something a bit more caprine might have been appropriate, e.g. a sate kambing tutu.

I demand a lower-resolution image!
Here you go. And look, there's even a nice halal thong.

So, time to stop walking back and forth over his bridge in the pork chop coat?
Troll-provoking hussy. Refuge appeal was last week. Get back to your kitchen, put ypur pinny on.

Nematode-in-the-hole...
Heh! Or maybe an encounter with Captain Nematode.
