I've always thought it was Rafferty. Doesn't make sense otherwise.

The more serious question though is what definition of rarf is used on the bunker.

Is it .......A rough charva, absolute piece of s*** scumbag.

Or is it......

A combination of the words rar and arf. It should be used to refer to a guy who is very very very hot and/or sexy.

I'm the latter.

I think what I meant to say is that a rafferty is a collective name for rarfs (of whatever definition). Not a plural, as such.

Well, dear me, I didn't mean to provoke hostility.
Anyway, I'm warming to the subject now. How about a dibble of disguises, a salty of shanties......a talbot of witticisms, even. I'd better add the :wink: this time I suppose.


:wink: :wink:
