Yanks and Christmas
You Yanks are just getting up and opening your presents.
Well, here in the UK we have opened our pressies, had the usual arguments and now having Christmas dinner before watching the Queen's Christmas message. This year we are not having the traditional Christmas dinner of turkey - we are having octopus. This way everyone gets a leg. So heres to the yanks who are just getting up in the morning and following us behind or arriving late as they always do. Happy Christmas. Bobby and **** off -- -- |

Merry Christmas to you. Thanks Brooks. On behalf of the Queen, thanks for the sympathy and understanding. The Quenn is into field sports like fox hunting, pheasant shooting, pigeon racing, horse riding and so on, so I dare say one dog against another is just like a bit of sport to her. Come to think about it: the corgi (Queens dog) comes from Wales (a country with its own langauage bolted onto the left side of England; home to Tom Jones,Catheine Zeta-Jones, and so on) and the pit bull terrier (Princess Anne's dog) comes from .... errr ummmm the States. What a bugger for international relations! And what a Christmas day for us. The nation is now in grief. Thanks Brooks! Happy new year. Bobby |

snip Octopus and kidneys, bangers and mash ... hmmm, sounds like first line of a bawdy pub song. For shame. You should be ashamed of yourself, for suggesting such a thing on Christmas day. Today is for relaxation and family, not making up bawdy songs. You should hang your head in shame at eaven having such a thought. Here, sing these instead. Merry Christmas. THE HEDGEHOG CAN NEVER BE BUGGERED AT ALL 1. You can bugger the bear, if you do it with care, in the winter, when he is asleep in his lair, Though I would not advise it in spring or in fall-- but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 2. If you're feeling quite coarse, you can bugger the horse, or the palfrey, the jennet, the stallion (with force), You can bugger the donkey, the mare, or the mule, Though to bugger the pony is needlessly cruel. 3. You can bugger the ox (if you stand on a box) And vulpologists say you can bugger the fox, You can bugger the shrew, though it's awfully small-- but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 4. Herpetologists gasp you can bugger the asp, Entomologists claim you can bugger the wasp. If an insect's your thing, man, then just have a ball-- But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 5. And the elephant too, that you meet in the zoo, Can be buggered if you are sure just what to do, You will need a large mattress upon which to fall-- but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 6. You can bugger the bees if you're down on your knees, You can bugger the termites with terminal ease you can bugger the beetle, the ladybug (bird!) too, there's no end to the buggering that you can do. 7. You can bugger the cat if it isn't too fat You can bugger the rabbit you draw from your hat You can bugger the shark that you've chased in your yawl-- but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 8. You can bugger the ermine, and all other vermin, like rats, mice, and roaches, if you're not discernin'. You can bugger the dog, it will come when you call-- but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 9. Although Mr. Tiggy is not very big, he Avoids with great ease those who fancy his arse. He just curls in a ball, shows his prickles and all-- And the would-be seducer leaves him in the grass 10. If you're that kind of fool, and you have a long tool, Do it with a giraffe, if you stand on a stool, Catch a yeti, who lives in the snows of Nepal-- but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 11. For the hedgehog escapes the posterior rapes Performed upon others of different shapes, Those who run, swim, or slither, they get it withal-- But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 12. It is said, if you try, you can bugger the fly, Or the swallow as it skims so skilfully by, Use a noose or a net, or lime (if you've the gall)-- but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 13. You can bugger the cow (I will not tell you how), Or the boar, or the piglet, the shoat or the sow, You can bugger the ass as it stands in the stall-- But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 14. You can order or shoo 'im, or run a knife through 'im The one thing you cannot do is stick it to 'im. If you try to seduce 'im, you'll end in a fix, His prickles defend him against rampant pricks. 15. You can bugger the ram, you can bugger the lamb, You can bugger the ewe, though the wether's a sham, You can bugger the tiger (it may caterwaul) But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 16. You can bugger the seal, you can bugger the eel, You can bugger the crab, though they say it can't feel, You can bugger the bat as the night casts its pall, But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 17. You can bugger the snake (hold it down with a rake), Though to bugger the quetzal may be a mistake. You can bugger the billy, the nanny, the kid, But to bugger the hedgehog just cannot be did. 18. You can bugger the slug, though it messes the rug, You can bugger the different species of bug, Or do it with a snail, if you slow to a crawl, But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. 19. At the end of the day, when you've had your rough way With all of these creatures, you'll just have to say "That damned Erinaceous has been my downfall--" For the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. A WIZARD'S STAFF HAS A KNOB ON THE END A wizard's staff has a knob on the end It never will buckle, it never will bend He cherishes it, and he calls it his friend, and he frequently takes it in hand. A wizard's staff is the source of his power. He checks up on it every hour on the hour And he's never surprised when it turns to a flower -- The fairest throughout all the land. The staff of a wizard with honour is crowned. Without it a wizard will rarely be found. 'Tis big and its round and weighs three to the pound And without it he's truly unmanned. The staff of a wizard can do mighty deeds. It protects him from harm and attends to his needs, Provides him with banquets upon which he feeds And potions on which he gets canned. Whenever a wizard is lonely or sad, Or feeling dejected, or puzzled, or mad, He turns to his staff, and things don't seem so bad -- By it he is never trepanned. The staff of a wizard is dear to his heart The source and the succour of his magic art. They travel together, are never apart, A relationship few understand. A wizard is rarely of heroic build Were it not for his staff, he would surely be killed. By demons or monsters his blood would be spilled All over the pitiless sand. A wizard in thought, word, and deed should be chaste If he is not, he's considered disgraced. Although in his dreams he is often embraced By ladies both lissom and tanned. The staff of a wizard is polished with care. He anoints it with spices and unguents rare, Bedecks it with silver and jewels most fair, And on feast days he has it japanned. A wizard when young has a staff that is small. It's puny and weak, ineffective withal. It grows with his power until it stands tall As his fame and his glory expand. The staff of a wizard can hold many spells For finding lost objects or dowsing new wells For banishing demons to bottomless hells Or bringing them back on demand. A wizard's staff can do manifold tricks To puzzle the nobles and fuddle the hicks It rescues the wizard from many a fix -- It is totally at his command. When a wizard is old, and is starting to fade He looks on his staff that with cunning he made The crown of his life and the tool of his trade And together they make their last stand. And, for the God's sakes people, for the new year, learn to snip.

But I bet people who I work with say it under their breath to me. Yes, I am a "Nahm" fan. Maybe I will nominate him for a knighthood for services to the tool industry. He has a tool and a jig for everything. You yanks, on TV and on rec.woodworking, are well advanced on DIY. No, sorry, mate, John Cleese is not a "Sir". The nearest he got to being a "Sir" was playing the part (Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington in Harry Potter, was it?) Or was it when he said, "That Sir, is an EX-parrott". I am sure where that phrase comes from. Mick Jagger got his knighthood, to the surprise of many, for services to international music (and not for shagging women). I am not too sure about trading Nahm for Basil. I think I will stick to Norm for the moment. So your bride got you a DVD of all 12 Fawlty Towers episodes from the BBC. Hang about, Mutt, Basil was henpecked i.e. under Sybils thumb, is your bride trying to show you the way to go? Are you sure you would trade Nahm for Basil? (Just kidding). Happy New Year, mate.

Conmfederate flag. It now flys happily over my front gate. From other postings it sounds as though the war may be over. Who won? Ken (in Australia) |

Lincoln did. BTW, I hope he bought that flag for you over the border in Virginia. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ |
