I know, not a limerick, but i loved this contribution from a bored spectator at lords on the Guardian obo (tsk, bloody blackberries eh)


Oh look a streaker. At least that's bloody something

I've been watching these fools bat since 10 in the morning

My beer's getting flat in its clear plastic chalice

While the batsmen block-out and the bowlers lack malice

Last night on the telly they suggested I come

Down to Lords for the 5th day. They said it'd be fun

Well Botham and Boycott can both bloody lump it

Coz of their great advice I'm now down 20 quid

They said there'd be boundaries and wickets and runs

But today all I've seen is some stranger's bare bum

Nice Verse.


Did you know, my fellow limerickers, that apparently, as part of the Dulwich festival, there was a talk about maths and poetry and the links between. I heard that one of the esteemed (and local) talkers quoted the moxons/hoxton/foxtons limerick from this ere forum. Which is equally nice.

    • That explanation sounds highly unlikely!  Surely the "days of the week" plates must be a standard size. I know Royal Mail often appears incompetent, but it  couldn't be that stupid, surely. Was it 1 April?!  
    • Looking for a short length of electric (twin & earth)  lighting cable. Most likely there could be some in a skip near you??
    • Southwark's recycling guidance says to put shredded paper in the blue bin in a paper envelope or "small box". I've got far too much of it for that  (confidential stuff going back decades) - thanks to the EDF member who kindly gave me a shredder! It would be a "massive box". I have barely started  the shredding, and I've already got an extremely large bagful.   I've read online that you can put it into  large clear plastic bags in the bin for paper,  provided you  clearly label it "shredded paper" and it is obvious what it is. Does anybody know if Southwark would accept it like that? Alternatively, can anyone make use of it for animal bedding or packaging material or adding to  compost?
    • I'm happy to report that some foxgloves are now looking great in my garden. The bees are loving them. Also managed to grow some corn poppies from seed. I've left some decaying logs in the corner so maybe there are some stag beetles there.
