Ah, but that page does not contain the word "attachment(s)", so since in British law anything that
isn't proscribed is permitted, attached GIFs /must/ be OK :-)

No, no. "Bosum" is a nautical term:

bosum: /n/ A petty officer on a merchant ship who controls the work of other seamen.

Not to be confused with a "boson"

boson: /n/ Any of a class of particles, such as the photon, pion, or alpha particle, that have zero
or integral spin and obey statistical rules permitting any number of identical particles to occupy
the same quantum state.

Or something.

Think yourself fortunate, Geraint wants a picture of a seaman or something.

That would be the way rumours start, especially amongst people who read news by browsing archives

Aren't bosums/bosums miniature trees?

I wonder if you wouldn't mind piecing out our imperfections with your thoughts; and while you're
about it perhaps you could think when we talk of bicycles, that you see them printing their proud
wheels i' the receiving earth; thanks awfully.

I believe there may have been a typing error and it was bosoms, which I'm sure is a term you are
familiar with.

No no, not a typo? I mean, I'm convinced it's a piece of MTB technology now.

Obviously from the fact that Helen has to HEAVE them around they're obviously pretty large/heavy.
Probably some new US product.

[BTW, your sig URL has an error]

D'ya reckon they might be some form of bikies airbag? They seem rather hot on safety gadgets

I think the something you're after is "bosun" (or even boatswain - ain't English great 😉 )

You can try but many newsgroup servers will filter the message with binary attachments. Binaries may
be posted to an appropriate alt.binary newsgroup (but not the uk. hierarchy by convention) which may
not be available to all newsgroup servers.
