European politics -- formerly Jumbled word #7

Topic 198259
Okay, by (un)popular demand, here it is, the next round of: Einstein's very own, totally separate from the one on the server in Berkeley, jumbled word game.
Simple rules:
Previous winner posts a jumbled word or phrase.
Other people try to unjumble it.
The first person to do so, after it is confirmed by whoever posted it, posts the next word. If the poster doesn't confirm it within a reasonable time and the solver is absolutely sure, he/she may post the next one without confirmation.
Multiple posts, and multiple guesses within a post ARE allowed.
Silly definitions of obviously incorrect solutions are not mandatory and will always be appreciated.
[ I may award marks for what I personally judge to be funny/witty/silly/etc efforts. No penalty otherwise ... :-) ]
If no one gets it after a day or two, the poster may give hints.
Discussion of anything posted in the thread is allowed at any time, although it should stay at least somewhat related to the jumbled word(s).
It is highly suggested that the poster either write down the correct word or send her/himself a PM with it.
Responses must be 'kid friendly' etc, etc, or they *will* be moderated.
Use of an internet word scrambling/descrambling site is considered cheating.
The new jumbled word is:
BDEEEEHIIILNOPPRRSSTUY
First clue: there is precisely one letter already in its correct position.
[edit]
And I have already led you astray. There are in fact TWO letters already correct.

Mark yourself down for that one. :-)
Cheers, Mike.

I've brought us something. It's outside though, with the rest of me.
Look at how he did it though...

If a vote of no confidence isn't looming, then a spell behind bars perhaps is...

BDEEEEHIIILNOPPRRSSTUY
yep... I was right... we ARE going to need this...
*trundle TRUNDLE*
*THUD*
*THROW AWAY I and E*
PreyHideRunBileStops - fleeting moments of indulged-in poorliness whilst fleeing for one's life (often unexpectedly mid-lunch) within one's skin.
*retrieve E and throw away ANOTHER I*
RuePristineShedLopeBye - fleeting moment of indulged-in regret after inappropriately leaping straight out of one's skin over something trivial.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
I'll guess we have a Y at the
I'll guess we have a Y at the end?
I see that we were brought a green wheelie bin for garden waste, not a black one for landfill. Is this significant in the overall scheme of things? Or shall I go and wibble behind the fridge .....

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
RE: ... and wibble behind
TMI there Chris. And I don't even know what wibbling is ! Nope. No. Stop. DO NOT TELL ME .... :-)
A big round of applause to Annie for bringing in the bin .... take a long bow please Annie .... as I have suddenly epiphanisationed that we needed one before but didn't have one. Sort of you don't want you have got until you get it. Yep. That works. A generalised letter bin. Fits all choices of letters. Even the 'Q' and the 'Z' which I always turned into hand grenades during [strike]Monopoly[/strike] [strike]Grand Theft Auto[/strike] Scrabble games. Except I threw the pins away and I kept the explodery parts. Do you know just how ugly a Scramble board looks like with my innards all over it ?
Oh dear. When I said 'take a long bow' I meant the forward folding at the waist posture manoooveuure. Not the ruddy great Welsh twangy device for killing Frenchman at Crecy. That's an entirely different rapid-water-heating-device of piscine-forms that is.
Now to task :
BDEEEEHIIILNOPPRRSSTUY
... this looks suspiciously like a bloody difficult word. A deliberate act of wanton alphabetical malice. So in the style of our surf life savers I will put up the warning flags for potential swimmers in these vocabulary infested waters :
Cheers, Mike.

RE: I'll guess we have a Y
Well if we have one at the front that conjures up all sorts of oooh nastys, and we don't want to go there do we boys and girls?
To wibble or not to wibble, that is the question
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The G strings and narrows of outrageous underwear
Or to raise our arms and see a load of trouble
As by opposing them, they fall round our feet.
Oh yes Wibble, a well known symptom of underwear in adverse conditions.

RE: *trundle....
You should be applauding my honesty. I am highly confident that I could have just edited the post to say there were two correct and none of you would have been witness to the original statement that there was one.
Three letters right.
Not only did you NOT throw away another I, you added back more Es than you originally removed. Nevertheless, you have two letters correct, one of which is the same as in the previous guess.
Chris: yes. And if my underwear falls down by itself, it's time to retire it. Unless the reason is that I've lost weight, in which case it's time to party (and probably gain back the weight).

Oh. I thought you were about to show us...
You're not I take it? *lose interest immediately*

And you think the North Atlantic makes it safe to come out with things like that do you, David? *droop eyelid witheringly*
Whilst I've been busy ignoring everything you've been saying till now - which I may, or won't look at at some point in the near or never future... I suggest, in the meantime, that you, and everyone else, sit down. Another dark and reprehensible history is about to be revealed... and it's not pleasant.
*wait for einsteinians to work out which way is down... and wait*
BorderlineSuetyHippies - class of convicted hippies that arose out of the hippy dunking trials (modelled on the concept of witch trials some 300 years earlier) which convinced the flour power communities of Devon and Cornwall to cut their hair. Thwarted and more than a little disappointed by this move, prosecuting councils devised a test which involved smearing the accused (often not a hippy) with water-repelling lard prior to dipping them - before then hauling them back out and flinging bags of flour at them. If any of it stuck - they were found guilty and shaved. With conviction rates a resoundingly successful 100 percent - it should not have surprised anyone that the establishment of the anti-establishment movement known as Punk would consequently establish itself.
SherbityNippleDouseIre - anger (stemming from extreme disappointment) after losing the contents of a sherbert fountain all over one's chest and discovering one's tongue is too short to salvage its deliciousness. Trust me... *glare* That is SO annoying!
SiniYetiBopeepHurdlers – (extinct) mysterious troupe of Himalayan hairies notorious for their impromptu leapings-out from behind rocks and then over shepherds. Failing around nine tenths of the time, due to their legs making up only twenty-five percent of their body height, they adapted to leaping shepherdesses instead, but with calamitous results for their ability to procreate
DitheryEirinPubeSlopes – medical condition named after Edwin Eirin, the first doctor to take the problem of random and disorganised directional hair growth (not always beyond traditionally acceptable congregation) but usually.
HirsuteBopeepRinsyDeli - cold meat establishment (specialising in lamb). Saved from closure by Dr Edwin Eirin following his testimony that the source of the hair (that was finding its way into the food) was the proprietress's chin, not... erm... and um... and that a simple pass under a tap was sufficient to restore edibility.
SloppyUbeeDeerRhinitis - another one of those misclassifications due to superficial similarities between deer and antelope that have yet to be fixed... *sigh - superior mode* but as things stand presently - a nasal affliction believed to have contributed to the evolution of the giraffe and possibly the Gerenuk after their ancestors developed an allergy to grass.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Oh dear I was three letters
Oh dear I was three letters short of an anagram! makes a change I suppose from one can short of a six pack :-)

That's an assault that is. Officer, arrest that women. For an assault on the psycho, the cognitivities and the zenses. In broad deylight too. So there I am just minding my own bizzerness, reading the threads, as you do, and wham ! Jumped right out from behind this green wheelie bin a horrible gang of gnarly words. Each of them with a handful of syllables, and they start waving them about. Menacing like. Not civil at all. And at my tender age of 55 ! They tried to punctuate me they did. One hooked me with a question mark, while anuther whakked me on the shin with an exclamation. Let's not talk about where they tried to put an apostrophe, it wuz neerly a caterstophe ! Gave me a full colon, they did. I clutched my chest I did. One made a cutting remark about my ampersand. I wheezed. Couldn't focus at all. I had to grab my forward slash. Probably wont' be able to spell for weeks now. Yup, tempary non-spellia I reckon. I'm gunna need counselling for that. Might need surgary to the ( Kelsey ) grammer lobe. And I can't find my straight or curly braces. As for my keypad well, I think it has been backspaced. The visions ..... the visions !
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) You've just been treated to an excerpt from my upcoming book release : A Clockwork Citrus. It tells the tale of a lost generation of rude words that increasingly has turned to crimes against literature to fulfill their lack of strict tenses when they were mere semi-formed slang. Available at all good bookstores. Tell them your friend Mike sent you and as a personal favor the price will double.
( edit ) That's a follow up to the underwhelming sales of Full Potato Jacket, Dr LoveStrangle, 2001 : Oddly Spacious, The ShinBone, Barry's Limping and Eyes Bored S**tless.
