DalekesqueThe announcer seemed almost Dalekesque when he intoned the last word
Generally used as a disparaging term when referring to architecture or landscape features. I.e. a planet that was once green and fertile has been modified to look like an abandoned quarry in Wales, or a city has been built that resembles nothing so much as a "monstrous carbuncle on the face of an old friend"

BTW, me and M rsBBM afre planning another visit to Cornwall!!
Afre (myth.), A mythical place thought to have been in Cornwall, and believed by some also to have been the location of the original Royal School of Brass Band Music. (It is the only known place to confer simultaneously the awards of Mistress of Euphonium together with Magister, irrespective of the gender of the recipient). |

European pot-war choral traditionsA sorry reflection on the abuse of the liturgical censer in the early years of the twenty-first century. A schism arose as a result of hard-line rastafarian infiltration of the high Anglican church which resulted in acts of terrorism such as the "360º swing".

don't have the energy to goole.
Goole, v. to carry out a time-consuming and possibly fruitless task, often involving computer technology, derived from Goole, a town in Yorkshire and birthplace of the composer Gavin Bryars, known for his time-consuming and possibly, no, often quite pleasant, music. |
