Nipples Like Bullets Posted Fri Aug 10 19:33:39 BST 2001 by 'A Horse Frightened By Lightning'

Slogan seen today upon the t-shirt of a girl who cant have been much over 16 in sunny Colchester.
Ive been out of the country for a while. Is the above slightly bemusing T-shirt slogan part of a national trend, or just a Colchester thing?

(Good Lord, I feel like a high court judge).

I've only ever heard this term on 'The League of Gentlemen'. Had it been 'Nipples like chapel hat-pegs' I would have expected it to be a Viz tee-shirt. Which reminds me of 'Doctor in the House'...

"Big breaths"
"Yeth, and I'm only thixtheen"

Ha. Ha.

Don't forget to watch Carry On Again Doctor this weekend on BBC1 to see this line spoken by Jim Dale, playing a character called "Doctor Kilmany".

It's a national trend which is invaluable as tangential evidence in certain legal proceedings.
However, the 16-year-old girls are empowered, so that's the main thing.

That's what put me off about LoG - weak lines like 'nipples like bullets' getting a HUGE laugh. Like people had never seen comedy before.

Crap t-shirts is, however, very much a Colchester thing.

Reminds me of Nige's rant on Vids about teenage girls wearing "porn star" t-shirts. Now where's that video...

You should have been at Jongleurs in Nottingham last night. The funniest thing ever appeared to be the revelation that when children had a fight at school, the rest of the class used to stand round shouting "fight, fight".

It only got a huge laugh cause it was the first scene with Barbara in it.
