    Good stuff here Carlos

    Just watch out here:

    Para 1 > … were very gutted

    > Adjectives like knackered and gutted are what we call ‘Absolute Adjectives’. This means that these words are generally not capable of being intensified or compared. Therefore we don’t use ‘very’ with these kinds of adjective.

    Para 3 > we don’t use ‘dog’d bollocks’ to describe how someone looks. You could say instead:

    Then a stunner walked in, I decided to buy her a drink.
    She was well fit but two sandwiches short of a picnic.
