Wlad's chin looks like mine too. :o
No it isn't, it reaches the bridge of Wlad's nose, you obviously overestimate the size of his spam.
It reaches the eyesbrows from the looks of it because his eyes are at the tip of Wlad's nose.

What do ya mean by spam?

More specifically the Forehead.

Spamhead was the general term when regaling someone who had been blessed with a larger than average dome to their cranium.

"Tefal" was another, due to a Tefal ad where there were Boffins with enormous forehead's, or spams.

Fiji was another less known one, after an ad where this melon starts growing longer....

Spam-head
Tefal
Fiji-head

Ahhh, days of my youth. :(

There was a kid at my school called Johnathan Murphy who had a massive head. I had the idea after french class that we could borrow a bit of our froggie friends language and coined the name..

"Ouefy Murphy"

The best ever though was poor old Paul Bowe who was small and wizened who had the nickname.

"Embrybowe"

It's a cruel world out there.

Memmmreeeees... like the corners of my mind....


Was the cry of SPAM usually swiftly followed with a open hand slap on the forehead. Or did i just go to a particularly rough school?

We used to get inordinately greasy spam fritters, they literally oozed grease. I was forced to eat one by Peggy Igoe (the slops lady) when I had a bad stomach, and I vomited copiously in the dinner hall, causing a stir and the timely arrival of the bucket of sawdust.

As an interesting aside, I once caught Peggy Igoe making a sandwich with the slops from the basin, which included mashed potato, custard, peas, bits of burger and jam-rolly polly. She was a disgusting lady.

Yes, the swiftly administered forehead slap usually followed a cry of 'SPAM.'
