Panache and tobbacco smoke.

I get taken straight back to a manky nightclub in Wakefield were the DJ played this most weeks when I hear it. I've just bought Mrs P a 70s compilation with it on.

It's funny how abstractions can take you to particulars.

Very nice. That one is going into the burlap bag.

You must have a good collection in that old bag.

I'm finally getting on top of the new half of the allotment. I've got under a third to clear, but now I'm planning for next year.

It is marvelous to us how a little reminder of the late, great Ian Dury down the intertubes can set off a fuse within the Anglo Saxon community. Well at least we can all agree on this one:

There was a farmer who drank horlicks
who kept measuring his prized rams b......s
Till his missus said to he
you are not seeing to me
but Old Seth the farm hand makes me rollicks. Boom Boom.

Just found this video after looking at Jocky's vid.

Never heard this one before - I nearly fell off my cheap argos computer chair...

Warning - lots of swearing.

Are you getting annoyed? The odds look pretty familiar three to one but that is the way we like it. This whole thread is beginning to smell a bit English. Catch you later Atheist, Gilliat and Soundo, enjoyed your company.

Jocky there's nothing English about Bootsy Collins and a cheap bottle of French table wine:

Eh? We can't have that. I'll get Parker to cook up a curry and give it a more cosmopolitan smell for a few days.

Mmm curry, Britains favourite dish.

By the way what are rollicks?

Lot of thread-closing going on around here.

I've told Parker to be extra-careful on the doors, but I worry he might be keeping everyone out!

:D

Remember, only ten days until the Rugby World Cup starts.

Just got a new - bigger 32 inch - telly, so I might be able to see who's playing. I have a particular seat on the edge of the settee which affords me the best view. I'll also benefit for Match of the Day on saturday and Sunday. Haha!

We're living in hope!

Actually, having gone into the last 3 RWCs as Tri-nations champs, going in this time after losing has taken some of the pressure off.

The country's just starting to fizz now - should be a great show.

As long as the weather holds!

Nice times for the games for you lot - I'd rather watch it at 8 am than 8 pm.

Sure is! Catch some action on ESPN.

If we don't win, there will be a national month of mourning after the event.

My sister had given me a phone number, seems several years ago one of those makeover shows were going to be in my area. Of course, they usually choose mansions so that the place looks a bit better after the makeover than it did before. But after seeing one show where the woman plastered hay on the walls, I thought I might be better off waiting for my cash flow to come in:frown2:

I let him "drive" into the garage the other day, sitting on my knee.

Well, teach all of your children to drive before you reach your mid-50s; I'l tell you, my nerves are a mess now when there is anyone behind the wheel except me, even if I keep mistaking the neighbors for a cat waving at me and the garbadge cans as an extra bit of rode.

By the way:-

I was asked to set up a password to recieve my Email - It had to have at least 8 characters, so I chose Snow White and the seven dwarves.

The above was chosen as the best joke of this year's Edinburgh Festival.

Oh, god, that woke me up for good; I like counting sheep in pink tutoos...by the way, do you have any more gay tups?

And Parker comes and tucks you in,
And wipes the gin from off your chin,

God man, that is so beautiful it almost made me cry.
