They were not, and were not supposed to be, sentences.

That's why they were punctuated with an exclamation mark.

Oooh! Oooh!

There are four kinds of sentences: command, question, statement, and exclamation. Having an exclamation mark doesn't mean it's not a sentence! However, interjections can ALSO have an exclamation mark and not be complete sentences.

2 years in Wandsworth is a fifth type of sentence ... but I defer to your wisdom - making only the point that exclamations don't need verbs. Bowmann's non-sentence was not an exclamation.

However, who cares really? I just react badly to smart-arse put downs.
