Rumbelows is a curious gastric disturbance caused by the excessive imbibence of a sailor's favourite tipple. As the alcohol hits the duodenum the whole muscular cavity convulses, producing a low growling sound, and even the occasional effervescent vapour from the sufferers lips.
An electrical and televisual rental establishment that ran from 1969 to 1995 named themselves after this curious biological phenomena, because telly is little more than bright, glowing, noisy shite, belched into the faces of unwary individuals whether they wanted it to happen or not.
