  1. The arrogance of golfing umbrellas!
  2. RAC Club
  3. I thought he wrote about planes.
  4. Mairi's Wedding Captain Stratton's Fancy (says the old, bold mate of Henry Morgan). The Smugglers' Song (watch the wall my darling, while the gentlemen go by) And that little ditty about a prostitute: A Rovin' (in Amsterdam there lived a maid...)
  5. There's a plaque for Barnes Wallis on Queen's Road, going towards New Cross. I was explaining to my then toddler who he was and she asked where the one for Gromit was.
  6. I'm confused by the title. Do you mean next to "The Elms" or have elms been cut down? Didn't think there were any left to fell.
  7. Pick a bale of cotton Jamaica Farewell Pollywollydoodle all the day Oh Susannah don't you cry for me Streets of Laredo There was one in Hebrew which escapes me at the moment. Just remembered: Shalom chaverim.
  8. I was humming "Zena, Zena, can't you hear the music playing in the market square" yesterday. That was one of the one's we learnt. Others I remember are: Here come the navvies (very PC) Cooper of Fife There was a piper old and hoary lived in the town of Balingorey Fire in the galley, fire down below Riding on a donkey (the Quebec one) Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish Ladies We're bound for the Rio Grande
  9. Hope it's not the walnut tree.
  10. It's worth chatting to your doctor nonp. If it is depression (which it bloody well sounds like), there is no shame. A short term course of anti-depressants, and counselling is really useful. In the meantime, counting your blessings each day, while trite, does remind you about what's important and helps the sanity.
  11. I was corrected by a biology teacher, P'Rose, one can't forget early humiliations.
  12. Urban Dictionary: A shiv is a weapon made out of an commonplace object often in prison, also perhaps the origin of which is as a acronym a Self Honed Implement of Violence (SHIV). Also used as a verb 'to shiv' as in my example. Could also use a shiv to dissect someone (see what I did?)
  13. Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk, Talk about things you'd like to do. You got to have a dream, If you don't have a dream How you gonna have a dream come true? Hammerstein
  14. Well the "Pocket Oxford Dictionary: Do you know your King's English" puts it at i (with a reversed circumflex on top) pronounced as in 'bit'. The past is a foreign country, and I am from there.
  15. D'accord.
  16. Are you dissing Les Briley? Sainted person, no?
  17. Jacks09, it should be pronounced 'diss' as in "dis[respect] me and I'll shiv you." 'sect' as in "Christadelphians are a dubious sect".
  18. I know I've referred to it before. I know it's petty. BUT, it's pissing me off so it deserves a whole thread of its own. Yesterday on "NCIS" (Ducky you should know better). Tonight on "Monroe". Too many times in recent months, so now I shall log the mismentions (new word: I like it) on here. Together we can change the world.
  19. Haven't heard it yet, but every time I see this thread title, I think of Chicken Licken.
  20. The van is actually quite cool, unlike their muzak.
  21. I seem to have killed this thread with ill-placed humour. Back on topic: for younger girls, good role models are Sophie (Dick King-Smith) and the Princess books (Babette Cole).
  22. Isn't anyone else tempted to drive up L.Lane just for the fun of going the wrong way round a roundabout?
  23. Noone's mentioned Hank and Apache yet!
  24. I lived outside of Annan for a while. Divided loyalties on this one.
