Had a prat in one of my local pubs the other night decide to bleat like a sheep when he saw me walk in, nothing new and normally a small bit of banter later it has abated but he decided it was cool to carry on, the conversation went something like this:

"Making noises like a sheep eh, indicating no doubt that I'm a sheep shagger and love to shag sheep. So you decide to make sheep noises and pretend to be a sheep, presumably it is a ploy to get a Welshman to shag you? Well we are not that stupid and can actually tell the difference between an Englishman and a sheep, one is a dumb animal of very low intelligence, covered in mud and smelling of shit - the other is a sheep".

He shut up.

Just finished my crossword tonight. Few clues caused a bit of an issue but got there in the end.

A bit more difficult for you as I already had some of the letters, but let's see what you can do.

Silver lilac melting like ice (7 letters)
Poor Nigel, toff, is careless (9 letters)
Release gas even in the river (7 letters)
Stick with first conjunction (4 letters)

The first two are "glacial" and "negligent" - not got a clue on the other two lol

Correct. Well done.

In all fairness, I didn't get any of the four until I completed some of the other clues, hence having some letters.
