subject RE:

I was just thinking about that when I went for a crap. All I can think about is the Russell had the right idea.

Also, from the Onion AV club interview with Mike Skinner (worth a read):

“The first two were nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize, no surprise given Skinner's singular melding of UK dance music with a literate, narrative stop-start flow unlike any other rapper on either side of the Atlantic. He rejected rap's usual posturing in favor of exquisite details about quotidian middle-class struggles like bad ecstasy and dead cell-phone batteries”.

What’s brilliant is that this highlights the different meanings of the term “middle class” between America (=blue collar working class) and UK (=acacia beignet) but whats really funny is that, actually, bad ecstasy and dead cell phone batteries are quotidian middle-class (=acacia beignet) struggles but you would it would sound very weird to describe them as that in the UK.
Anyway…

In the pole vault competition, despite pleas for silence in three languages, jeers, chants and whistles among the different factions in the crowd supporting French, Soviet and Polish pole vaulters could be heard. Immediately after Kozakiewicz secured his gold medal, he responded to the jeering Soviet crowds with an obscene bent elbow gesture. This gesture is now referred to in Polish as "Kozakiewicz's gesture".

In the Balkans "the elbow" is called bosanski grb ("the Bosnian coat of arms"). The origin of this name is unknown.

I would direct those in doubt about the meaning of the phrase "a right bunch" to this webpage.
