Simples ;)

Occasionally you will notice Martijn and I use the word "Simples!".
I am very happy that I got Martijn (from the Netherlands) into using this catchphrase that became famous from my favourite Uk insurance adverts, as spoken by Aleksandr Orlov, (aristocratic Russian meerkat). This is how you say it, with a wink and a tongue-click Wink

Please excuse my frivolity. I am rolling on the floor

when I read this from the wiki link that Martijn posted.
"Aleksandr even started a petition to add the word 'Simples' to the dictionary because Sergei didn't approve of the word in a game of Scrabble."
I just love these meerkat adverts. Wink
