    the vowels are different etc, but the tweet sets it up like it’s supposed to sound a li’l bit like “tossed salad and scrambled eggs”, which is part of the frasier theme tune.

      Ah, okay that kinda makes sense. I wouldn’t read it like that because of pronunciation but I see what you mean.

      TY, bc I wasn’t getting it either. My brain somehow read “Töskaläd” like “tossed salad”, which then somehow went to The Wiggles “Fruit Salad.”

      I think my brain needs some tranqs…

      Oooohhh I was getting mixed up with the Johnny Cash track “I hear the train a comin”.

      I don’t know what Frasier is though, we don’t have that here in the UK.

      Now if you’ll excuse me I need to pull my Cash LPs out suddenly and do nothing for the next hour

          Sounds like something 9 year old me wouldn’t have watched!

          Now if we’re talkin Star Trek on BBC2 at 6pm after school with my dindins, oh baby!
