A turn of phrase used to describe what
flat mates get up to get the banter started. Where one gay (the
rower) wanks his even gayer mate (
the gondola) off. Like 'skiing' but involves two people not three.
"Where have them two gone?"
"dunno. Probably back to theirs to play the Ventetian
gondola"
"Oi mate! Go and play with your
Venetian gondola. He looks all lonely over there on his own, you batty!
Ciao!"
