    What a poem to end this myriad of dreams ….but it carried a few stings in its tale :shock:

    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

    Ooooh 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 enjoy :mrgreen:

    Life 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 law :mrgreen:

    Did 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… :shock:

    the memory of an image is but regret for a moment past; and houses, streets, avenues are as fleeting, alas, as the years

    I 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 mankind

    To 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 born

    Some 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.
    Oh deary deary me :shock:

    Another day in the life
    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
    as the sun comes in
    – a shaft of light

    Mr 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 1884

    That 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 art of modern warfare !
    so sneaky I almost missed it
    myself :mrgreen:

    Wool 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 face :lol:
