Chelsea Hospital Chapel.

Bring a little cheer to the Old Pensioners.

They could even sing your favorite hymns.

All for the price of a drink for each (that's only about 350 In Pensioners )


TEN OLD Soldiers ( Chelsea Pensioners)?


Ten Old Soldiers Parading for inspection in a line,

one forgot to put his boots on and then there were Nine.

Nine Old Soldiers sitting up talking very late,

one dropped off to sleep and then there were Eight.

Eight Old Soldiers went on a holiday to Devon,

one said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.

Seven Old Soldiers sparing with swordsticks,

one sliced himself in halves and then there were Six.

Six Old Soldiers dancing and twisting in the jive

one tied himself in knots and then there were Five.

Five Old Soldiers leaving through a revolving door,

one kept going back and then there were Four.

Four Old Soldiers went out on a shopping spree,

one did not get there in time and then there were Three.

Three Old Soldiers catching the train at Waterloo,

one could not get his kitbag in so now there is Two.

Two Old Soldiers sitting on the beach in the sun,

one got chatted up by a Dolly Bird and then there was One.

Just one Old Soldier left thinking what could be done,

he went and joined up again and there was none.

Hi SCSB,


Might be worth telling your friend to take a look at this page;


http://www.suzannejames.co.uk/venue-list.asp


I guess each person's idea of 'funky' will vary, and of course if they actually want to hold their civil ceremony at the venue it will need to be licensed - not sure all the above suggestions are, though that doesn't stop you holding your reception there (or getting married the day before 'officially' at registry office, then having unofficial 'ceremony' of your choice on the day itself at any venue - you can even get a guy who will act as a 'Phoney Bishop' (or not a Bishop, but any person of your choosing on the day) to oversee your personal 'vows'). Sue has his name and contact details.


I think a lot of the venues on her page are unusual, and not ones I new about previously - Wilton's Music Hall seems pretty cool to me, as is Perch Studios, and the Garden Museum with the right lighting.


Hope this helps.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
