No, cos I'm no good with words, but here's a musical impression*:

For my impression, I'd just post an impression of an erect wanger if I knew where to find a suitably veiny one.

I hate it here. And it's going to get worse. People who bought something but not from a supermarket, or blackberries? Don't get me started...
