Correct. I think strictly speaking it is closer to an aqueduct.

You bas**rd. I have been in this hole for 35 years and never said a word,
in you jump, stand on my toe and now you are telling me to sshhh.
'I'm alive, alive, alive...…..I'm alive, we'll survive'.

Stomp, stomp, stomp.... 'No sir, nobody in there Sir'.


Now consider the lilies.

Crouchie: I'm not the Messiah!
ClaretandJew: I say you are, Lord, and I should know, I've followed a few!
The UTC board: Hail, Messiah!
Crouchie: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen?! I'm not the Messiah, do you understand?! Honestly!
CT: Only the true Messiah denies his divinity!
Crouchie: What?! Well, what sort of chance does that give me?! All right, I am the Messiah!
The UTC board : He is! He is the Messiah!
Crouchie: Now, **** off!
[Silence]
CT: How shall we **** off, oh Lord?
Crouchie: Oh, just go away! Leave me alone!





What a fim ! What a culvert !

If the Germans had of bombed the Culvert in the second world war the production of army uniforms would have ground to halt for quite a period of time due to the central mills that produced the uniforms.
Not a lot of people know that.
