Happy Christmas to you too Ricky.
I see Richard lost out in TRF Flat Jockey award. I believe this to be the only thing he lost all season…..Blackbeard to conquer the World
December 23, 2013 at 23:27 #462819What a poem to end this myriad of dreams ….but it carried a few stings in its tale
One good thing to emerge was the true colours came shining through ..we know a lot more now about each other and even a wee bit more about ourselves ….lol
The king of sheep won the Oscar ….despite the Pilsen protest
Nathan played the biggest blinder imaginable
and so we end on a merry note
when I was a boy , on St Stephens day (boxing day ) folks would go out after mass and travel for miles singing and reciting poetry , with a hat collection
they were called the Wren boys ….one year my father joined them ,
the chant at your door would be The wren the wren king of all birds ….the chorus was up with the kettle and down with the pan , give us a penny to bury the wren ……
wonderful mystic times in the 50’s when we had so little , and yet were incredibly happy with even less , this year the chant at my Christmas bash will be The Sheep The sheep king of all clones …..
Merry Christmas to all

December 23, 2013 at 23:46 #462825Ooooh baaaaing lovely
Funnily enough when I was
a young’n and little boy
I only had one little toy
I got in a car with a man
called Dan who gave me
a bundle of elastic bands
I then had two toys to enjoyLife was simple in those days
It was yes or no
Can I go out on
the bomb site Mum ?NO
p.s
Dan was the man with the van next door
Never get into strangers cars kiddies
you could end up tied up on the floor
always ask for credentials – that the lawDecember 24, 2013 at 09:41 #462846Did any of you watch the documentary on Ladybird Books on BBC4 the other night?
I’m not particularly prone to bouts of nostalgia and the whimsical remembrance of things past; but this dear little programme caused a deep and warm-but-yearnful welling
Those rose-tinted technicolor pictures…
the memory of an image is but regret for a moment past; and houses, streets, avenues are as fleeting, alas, as the years
December 24, 2013 at 10:59 #462851A bit of nostalgia is good for you ….happy Christmas Drone
December 24, 2013 at 13:17 #462857I invited Carol
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around"Fear not!" said he; for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankindTo you in David’s house this day
Is born of David’s line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign:The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
And in a manger laid"Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Christ is born
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Christ is bornJanuary 7, 2014 at 22:02 #464194I thought I would re show this , as dear Gamble keeps revisiting it

January 8, 2014 at 17:34 #464240Some chippy chappy chap
has set up two nuke bases
on Betfair. One’s been blasted
away. Oh how awfully inconsiderate;
expanding the girth of the
war and postulating
an end date of 31.12.14.

of an unremarkable war
that bores the pants of
most of the wool laden soldiers.Today will be guns to
the left and guns to the
right but altogether
very very different

– a shaft of lightJanuary 9, 2014 at 17:01 #464348Mr Lake is visiting many towns
this year. To find the possibility
of Halifax on his list was unusual as there
is no racecourse in the vicinity,
or any quick escape route by sea tour.There was a racecourse there of course
attended by 20,000 at its peak but closed
in 1884That this meeting views with regret and disapproval the recent establishment of races in this neighbourhood, considering the tendencies and results to be injurious to the moral and commercial interests of the community
The Mayor declared the motion carried. The place is now a golf course

It has to be said as Mr Ricky Rake walked up Gibbet Street with the church of St Mary’s behind him he had lost a lot of the humble pie fat he had eaten over Xmas. He strode with purposefulness but not quite the same confidence, he exuded when sharing a car with a sheep with extremely long teeth in Phuket.
He had visited Monk Bretton Priory in the morning a good twenty miles away but found the retiring nature of the place and the fact there were no monks to flame did not suit him at all and as he approached the Halifax Gibbet he relaxed his grip on his Bradshaw and became suddenly more confident.Quite a few townspeople were gathered there and Mr Lake pushed through them to remark…
" Am I right to think the gibbet has not been used in 400 years and is a replica " ?
Several people dressed up as Druids suddenly surrounded him and began to chant in unison. He thought he recognised some hawkish faces at the Priory in the morning. Why were they dressed like that and why could he suddenly not feel the ground ?

The last sing in the tail from Gamble , I missed it when posted
what a load of bollocks

or is that a mad idea /////mad bad mad bad
January 14, 2014 at 19:32 #464930The art of modern warfare !
so sneaky I almost missed it
myselfWool stocks have been pushed
higher on Betfair. I seem to
have won over another rather
doting audience. They are rather
silent but I know they are all
rooting for me.While you chew yourself to bits
Rake, I am sitting here comfortably
having re-positioned my armchair for a
better view. The lazy man’s way
to winning any war and I have
won so many cosy battles – so
much experience to draw on.
It’s quite difficult to keep a
straight faceJanuary 16, 2014 at 23:01 #465071Gamble, those that care about you look over your shoulder
