It's a shortening of on board, I reckon too.
Why do you say Boez when we say Bohs;) :p
Because when you're rich you can say what you want and no one argues. :cool:
:D
And here I was thinking this was going to be a post about bellybuttons....
Good question though, never really thought about it, hmmmmm it's a good one for the pub, just to get people stumpped.

Peadar has all three! :D
Can anybody do the Vulcan greeting \\\// with both hands?.
Just with the left hand, can't do it with the right anymore since my baby finger is broke.
Yes, but then I can't touch the tip of my nose with my tongue nor roll my tongue for that matter. Nor can I wiggle my ears. Mrs PP and all her family can do all of these - and she calls me a freak? :confused: :DQuote:

They say that left handed people live longer so I'd say that it's the rest of us who're fukked! :eek: :D
Hmmmm... she sounds interesting. What else can she do? ;)Quote:

Ahhh, but you see, the outtie folk look strange, the lefties just look wrong when they play golf or are writing, and as for the uni-brow people they just look evil.Quote:
