Bondee	620994.  Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:52 pm Jodrell Bank = J. Arthur Rank = merchant bank = wank
Sophie.A	621012.  Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:10 pm I thought that was a “Barclays”? In any case “doing a Barclays” was the expression Kenneth Williams used – according to a programme on Kenneth Williams I saw some years ago. In fact: http://www.antimoon.com/forum/t10618-15.htm.
Bondee	621020.  Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:14 pm Cokkernee rhyming slang is constantly evolving so Barclays would probably have entered into usage at some point.

Arthur Rank = merchant bank = wank Rory definitely meant bank though, because he goes on regarding the 'snobbery' being planned "Which 'jodrell' are we going to 'snob'? Barclays, Lewisham High Street." Unless of course you think this was a discussion about planning a bout of public masturbation! Though I'm not quite sure what 'snob' would be rhyming slang for...
Sophie.A	621855.  Mon Oct 05, 2009 6:19 am I master’s, Cock & Bull definitely advice “bank” on the long. master’s = master’s degree = agree Cock & Bull = Cock & Bull Story = Rory advice = advice and consent = meant long = long ago = show

He starts with "Without further teaful (?), let's have a butcher's (Butcher's hook, look) at our four bulletproofs (bulletproof vests, guests)" "We're all three stops down from plaster but never mind, let's Georgie their orientals" I think "Ursula Andress me Jensen" and "Eartha my dingly" mean "Press me button" and "Hit my song". And Rory, when he talks about deceiving very thick policemen, he says a "jodroll" or "jodrule"? I can't tell what it is! Oh, and "It's hi-de-hi and baked potato from QI"? Jodrel is a reference to the U.K. space installation at Jodrel Bank It's not rhyming slang because Bank doesn't rhyme with bank, it's the same word. Three stops down from Plaistow is the rail station called "Barking: Barking refers to barking mad. Next to the episode Jargon this is my favorite but not for Rory who I consider insufferable.
