*''[[The Grand Old Duke of York]]'', based on a children's [[nursery rhyme]], is used to describe military decisions (such as cut backs). An example would be that the Duke's 10,000 men are being reduced to 100 and they won't be marching up any hills because they don't have any boots.

Running jokes in the magazine include such staples as [[St Cake's School]] (run by [[Mr Kipling]], whose motto is ''Quis paget entrat'' (who pays gets in)
), whose newsletters feature extraordinary and unlikely results and prizes. The notoriously underperforming [[football (soccer)|football]] club [[Neasden F.C.]] is another favourite, run by "ashen faced supremo" [[Ron Knee]] and with constant mention of the team's devoted fans, Sid and Doris Bonkers. The club's latest misfortunes curiously echo, in a [[bathos|bathetic]] manner, the tribulations of major clubs in the national news.
