I thought this was a joke thread.
He is on sky's commentary team for all the England test matches and has been for about 20 years. He still does huge amounts for his various charities and was knighted in recent years.
So he's hardly been away to merit the thread title.

Along the same lines, I always thought that the advertising line used by the New Zealand meat exporters, 'Slam in the Lamb', presumabley into the oven, was a euphemism for sex.

Every ad is a euphemism for sex, surely?

I noticed on a Canestan ad tonight that they explicitly said a woman would be feeling herself again after using the stuff.

I am prepared to believe they didn't see the connotation when they wrote the copy. Anyway haven't you gone to work yet?
