    Whistling Jack being Scilly
    Heather is linking well
    Eyebright is phrasing you
    Rosemary attacking your smell
    Evening Primrose is fragrant
    Herb Benet is driving away
    Adders tongues and
    Violet dogs every day
    Eelgrass is a slippery one
    Alison though can be sweet
    London pride is looking for a kiss
    Love lies bleeding at your feet
    Thistle is slender and musk
    Heath, Dorset or Darley Dale
    Eryngo is tall and Italian
    Flax is crimson or pale
    Lamb’s ear in the shade
    Oxlip has nothing to say
    Weasels Snout dug up by the Hoe
    Elecampane at the foot of the dray
    Rhubarb from the Abbey
    Sage Oh Jerusalem!
    Good King Henry sings
    Orchid Lady’s requiem
    Nightshade is deadly and black
    Enchanter stabbed him in the back

    So what’s the answer :?:

    A simple code ‘neez
    but eloquently portrayed
    and hidden in green.

    I used a similar code
    nine years ago
    during the clone wars on flutter
    where I drip by drip
    built up a crescendo list
    of possible culprits
    finally announcing the main orchestrator
    or clone culprit of the war as myself.

    The declaration,
    which resulted in my immediate
    banning, was done mainly
    to infuriate David Marshall
    and rob him of basking
    in his own villainous glory.
    He of course was the guilty clone
    and chief architect
    of the messy four week war
    which wreaked mayhem on the board.

    A secret code
    which spelt out Marshall’s name
    in an earlier posting of mine
    and similar to the one in the ‘erb posting
    above, was announced by the only
    clone I have ever created
    one

    flatcap

    By virtue of the code itself,
    which pointed innocence
    at my involvement,
    I was re-instated

    The board was on a downward spiral
    when the planes hit the trade centre.

    Those were the days my friend
    they sadly had to end !
    Boards were simpler then and
    had two simple ingredients;
    the board and wait for it
    the posters.

    Bans were extremely rare
    bur some clones were fairly easily
    spotted and if rude and violent
    eventually removed.
    A foul mouthed Jesus Christ
    was quietly crucified late one night
    whilst Harry Secombe’s willy
    – one of Marshall’s bad brigade –
    soon had his membership removed.

    Those were heady experimental days
    weren’t they Marshall ?

    David you followed me for years
    even nastily into the edge of Razeen.

    I will throw your last poignant line
    back at you…

    don’t you ever get the feeling
    you’ve been cheated

    George Washington and his trouble
    Pinch honey at the party
    Hostility oozes from every pore
    The sweet one is horrified
    By attack after attack
    And flees
    To regurgitate
    Time and time again as memories
    Of infancy hit home while
    The desire of the man in the red coat
    Is open to offers and
    A flirt is beckoning him to
    Her vineyard and
    The invitation is taken to
    A room upstairs which
    Forces George to temper
    His interior rage and produce
    A nice bouquet and refer to the
    Suspected impotence of his guest
    Before asking all to be present as he and
    His wife duet about the
    Good old days and a
    Story of mirrors forces their guests
    To leave as
    George finally sings his question

    my mistake
    I said a simple code :|

    I continue to prey on the past
    because the past is inhabited by thin ghosts
    that rattle far more than the living

    THE NORTH POLE

    An 1879–1881 expedition commanded by US naval officer George Washington DeLong also ended tragically when their ship, the USS Jeanette, was crushed by ice. Over half the crew, including DeLong, were lost.

    The ship became trapped in the ice and eventually was crushed and sank. DeLong and his crew abandoned ship and set out for Siberia in three small boats. After reaching open water, they became separated and one boat, commanded by Executive Officer Charles W. Chipp, was lost; no trace of it was ever found. DeLong’s own boat reached land, but only two men sent ahead for aid survived. The third boat, under the command of Chief Engineer George W. Melville, reached the Lena delta and was rescued.

    The grave of George Washington DeLong
    DeLong died of starvation near Mat Vay, Yakutsk, Siberia. Melville returned a year later and found the body of DeLong and his boat crew. Overall, the doomed voyage took the lives of nineteen expedition members, as well as additional men lost during the search operations.
    DeLong and five of his men are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York.

    What went wrong ?

    You were 3/1 lucky then
    if you had ended up in
    George’s boat.

    Siberia is a miserable
    but merciful place to freeze
    to death.

    I presume De Long
    who might have caught sight of
    some white whale on his
    voyage to land
    upended his boat near the shore
    and huddled with his men
    just hoping help was soon at hand.

    The bighorn sheep that
    live around the delta
    are also a miserable bunch
    but well enough
    protected against the cold

    From cold to codes
    ‘neez your second
    more difficult question
    forced George to
    sing

    Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf

    De Long would have
    welcomed a wolf
    as his blood began
    to freeze
    but would have settled
    more readily
    for the sharper tongued
    more petite Virginia
    with the much nicer neez

    One has to take one’s cap off
    to the heroes of cold !

    An amusing thought Mr Pilsen :(

    De Long’s widow published
    the explorer’s diary
    and one entry does seem
    to confirm it

    entry 28 October 1881…

    " * *** ********* frostbite ** **
    **** *** ** ***’** **** *** crew
    ******* ** *** * *** **** *
    da long face ?

    (blanked out in respect)

    Mozart started it all off and somewhere a
    Mynah bird belonging to Beethoven appeared
    Johann Gambolpotty chatted with Figgis about
    Ron Obvious eating Chichester Cathedral while
    Mr Neville Shunte-Railroad conversed with
    The Poet McTeagle who wanted some money to buy a
    Dead parrot whose feathers were ruffled by
    The Homicidal barber who was being investigated by Lemming of the
    Secret Service Dentists. Meanwhile
    Gavin Millarrrrrrr is taking the lead in
    The Montgolfier Brothers In Love and the
    Psychiatrist Milkmen are meeting a
    Ministry of Silly Walks person to see if
    Roy and Hank Spim’s mosquitos are to blame
    The Most Awful Family in Britain are still arguing
    So Nudge Nudge Wink Wink turns to

    I seem to remember getting a load of old bollox like that at the end of spam emails a few years ago.

    You could well be right Mr Pilsen
    I however try not to open my spam :D

    I have to correct my previous answer
    it is

    whos

    afraid of virginia woolf
    not who is afraid of virginia woolf.
    Crimes remain unsolved by little errors like that !

    Hmmm I believe neez is trying to set a nobbly trap
    with his last offering and one must think
    laterally rather than logically to arrive at the answer
    and the code here is the theme –
    all Monty Python series and characters made in the early seventies.
    As his previous questions we are looking for a song,
    and as SPAM is in capitals I presume it suggests the chorus which is loud and goes…

    SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM LOVELY SPAM WONDERFUL SPAM

    (that may suffice but to finish it off)

    SPAM SPA-A-A-A-A-AM SPA-A-A-A-A-AM SPAM

    lOVELY SPAM LOVELY SPAM LOVELY SPAM LOVELY SPAM
    SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM !

    H’mmm think I’ll raid the fridge
