I can’t believe I’m actually replying to this thread…. But upon close examination of both photos I think in the first photo there is a shadow being cast across his left leg which is giving a bit of an optical illusion. Zoom in and look closer… (if you dare…)…
I am not going to return to this thread, as I fear there are going to be a lot of religion-revealing snaps, rock-star bulges being all too common (viz Frank Zappa on the back cover of “Zoot Allures”).
But, praise where praise is due. Junior, you have to be one of the Afterword’s most versatile contributors.
From the deadly bush snakes lurking in the rocks at Uluru to the One-eyed Trouser Snakes of Australian Rock, and everything in between! You cover all bases!
This thread reminds me that Alan Winstanley can check into reception in any hotel in Southern Ireland without a single snicker being heard.
His most frequent co-producing colleague on the other hand…
Apols KFD. The AW is global and this point is somewhat parochial…
“According to Sean Beecher in his Dictionary of Cork Slang, the word ‘langer’ has two meanings – ‘a disagreeable person’ as in ‘Go away, you langer’ or ‘a penis’, with the second derivation possibly coming from langur, a long tailed monkey in India”.
There used to be a Twitter account called Daily Dorries, dedicated to enlightening extracts from Mad Nads’ literary oeuvre. ‘Langer’ was a favourite word of hers.
I believe it’s universal
Tailor’s terminology for which side of his trousers a man normally stashes his memberon; “Do you dress left or right, sir?” (The crotch dimensions will then be adjusted some to accomodate the man’s hanging on the left or the right.)
Well @Mousey we’ve been on this blog together for a few years now.
A down-under thing or a Junior thing. Dunno. Guess the things that pique my interest or amuse me are apparent by now. And i used to do a lot of headlines for written stuff so I guess you get a style.
I feel you’re all overthinking this. Give me a minute and I’ll post a pic of mine and you can all do the same – that way we can examine a properly scientific cross sample. Agreed?

Not that I’m obsessed with Bon’s appendage, no really, but here is a screen shot from the classic Jailbreak clip.

In exhibit 1 there’s no definition , no distinction between meat and veg M’lud as compared to exhibit 2. I call padding.

As a denizen of Bon(n), I feel duty bound to come to his defence – yes there’s a shadow on his leg, but there’s also protuberance defined:

I really think you may be overplaying this?

Is that a question mark at the end of that statement sentence, or are you just pleased to see me?

Somebody had to do it.

There’s a statue of him at Fremantle Harbour. Someone could always ask Mojo to take the train through and take a photo.

Leedsboy says
It looks a touch too much to me.
Arthur Cowslip says
This debate could grow and grow. It already seems to have got a bit large for what is essentially such an unremarkable piece.

Judging from his recent posts I would love to see Junior’s search history on Google. 😉

@Junior-Wells I can always tell from the thread title if it’s you. Is that a downunder thing?
