    Hoofski he he :lol:
    have to say again
    your return
    and wit’s on years end
    have done more ro rekindle warmth
    in this house
    than the devil’s toastmaster
    with two new recruits at the goat’s gates :wink:
    If I were a shepherd rather than a sheep
    or if I were a carpenter
    carrying the posts I made…

    I might relate the strory of the two lost baaa’s

    I dedicate these almost year end words to you both…
    not forgetting the perennial flat man himself
    Ricky Lake who came in from the cold winds of Be fair
    with a hot turkey and some glue wine
    again to toast a few.

    The reason I have been absent myself from
    this very house may soon be apparent as
    the twelve postings enfold.
    It is largely a matter of taking personal responsibility
    for possible damage I may have done
    with loose ill-thought out words;
    small bombs
    which waterfall and flash from my mind
    to relieve stress
    but can easily drown any poor soul
    who sees himslelf at the floodgates
    reading far too much
    into the murky gathering waters

    as he turns the handle
    with a twitchy tremble to his hand,
    to remove the devil’s face that stares back up
    from the depths
    to lurch him forward
    then topple him
    into his chosen destiny
    the black leather bound
    laughing tears
    of pointless
    self-administerd evil.

    I would like to
    momnentarily forget the devil
    and raise a toast
    to jack of hearts
    yeah the guy who stole the tarts

    Bad head today :(
    and I am, back in bankbrokeciti
    having trvelled up yesterday
    Set my alarm at six
    to cancel my racing post
    at the other place
    but just rolled over
    I couldn’t face a conversation
    with a newsagent
    who didn’t have a hangover

    I’ve just been out
    unshaven with one cup of tea inside
    to buy one,
    and as I passed the corner
    my eyes met Emily’s
    of newsnight fame.
    I had seen her once before
    in jogging rig very early
    passing a gym I regularly walk by 8)

    A fake tan today
    but her eyes met mine
    she gave me a deep searching look
    and we sort of dipped temporarily into each others souls.
    She’d of noticed I looked clapped out
    and that my armani scarf
    looked out of place
    and my coat hadn’t seen a cleaners
    in month’s –
    she might of noticed my teenage wastrel shirt
    By the way,
    she was wheeling a blonde haired kid
    probably taking it to a nursery
    a career woman

    …dirty plates a bottle of rum on the carpet
    hmmm

    the fact that Emily gave you the eye suggests to me, once again, that you are not the haggard old goat I had been thinking you were :)

    I felt so damn rough a litle later
    I devoured half a box of after eight
    and then,
    well then Uglee’s goat was in evidence
    as I waited for the 1300 Southwell
    to loose two hundred nicker
    and should have traded out more
    as the price went silly before the race
    blamed the rum bottle ‘n
    touchy one as I was a head out :wink:

    …went to bed and set the alarm for 1500
    woke up with this song in my b’once

    To the left, to the left
    To the left, to the left

    Mmmm…
    To the left, to the left
    Everthing you own in the box to the left

    I always try to bet with socks on and recovered
    somewhat in the 1510 at Great Leighs
    althought the aim was not to recover

    I then went to the E bog

    Of course, if you had told me in January that by the end of the year I would have been talking about a certain part of my anatomy in a Newsnight interview with the BBC director general, I probably would have resigned. Of course, it wasn’t really my anatomy. It was the Queen’s. Actually, it was neither of ours — but the momentary rental of a line from the comedy show Mock the Week to prove a point. The moment, anyway, has now been lifted gloriously out of context and has become what they call a ‘YouTube classic’. Which is just another way of saying lots of people now laugh at my expense. Either way, it’s probably not the best way to seek a pay rise in these times. I may have to blame Jonathan Ross for that episode. In fact, looking back over 2008 perhaps it’s just easier to blame him for everything.

    I am more goat than sheep Ugly Mare
    but possibly its down to perspective
    and like most monkeymen
    I have a very low opinion
    and could spit at the mirror
    when I have arrived back after a high wind

    Wit I beleive Anjali is half Indian
    possibly the top half accounts for Delhi
    and below an out and out Aussie
    with sprinklings of surfers paradise
    and a bit of X rated hoof

    I am possibly going to the flicks tonight
    so my head will return to semi darkness

    ewe is my softer side :lol:
    I am just in been drinking
    czech lager in a late bar
    been to the flicks too,
    I was in the back row on the right hand side
    there were six seats
    on my right was a woman
    and on my left five
    directly next to me to the left
    was a young black woman, oh 28
    who left just before the start left
    to buy
    a big carton of popcorn
    possibly her mother next to her
    to the left
    munching a supersize carton
    through half the flick
    I was in corny heaven :wink:

    The flick was called the Reader
    Ralph Fiennes… erm big problem
    I never could stand the english patient
    two attempts and rather like popcorn
    or a teenager with a spotty one
    I lasted half a film.
    I consider Fiennes a cross between
    Kevin Costner and Jeremy Irons
    and couldn’t believe he could act
    under five thousand feet,
    but was pleasantly surprised when he landed

    I am finishing off the evening
    with two rums, not rams not nuns
    but rums,
    but being awfully careful.

    Drone good to see you
    hoof too impossibly attached to the Mare
    all part of the furniture :)

    Talk of the devil

    Quote: from stevedvg on 9:04 am on Oct. 5, 2005[br]
    Am I proud of being Scottish??

    Well…..

    – we invented a bunch of stuff – TV, telephone, light bulb, aeroplane ( twice) – to name just a few.

    – came up with the theory of evolution

    – produced the link between Newtonian and modern physics (Maxwell)

    – wrote a couple of very good scary books (Jeckyl & Hyde, Frankenstein)

    Could you elaborate with a few names, as to my recollection many of the above were not Jocks?

    I rather like black ice shoes Sad

    I will relate a story.

    An oil executive I knew was abroad
    and out one evening with a group
    of colleagues and potential customers
    sipping back the drinks with
    everything nicely down to the old expense account.
    It was during the latter part of the evening
    that the oil man reached inside his jacket
    for a business card when he discovered his wallet was missing.
    He thought about the situation and was soon certain
    that one of his six drinking partners had picked his pocket.
    Inside he had cards and a fair amount of cash.
    He wanted to give the thief the opportunity to
    replace the wallet so he suggested another round.
    After ordering he spoke to the group.

    " A friend of mine was drinking in this self-same
    bar last year when he had his pocket picked.
    The strange thing was the culprit was one of the party
    he was drinking with. This friend of mine
    turned to the group and explained that one of them had
    played a joke on him and picked his pocket.
    He stated tht he had little interest in the cash
    but wanted the cards
    and particualrly the personal family photos
    that mean a lot to him.
    Strangley at the end of the evening the wallet
    was back in his pocket.
    The story caused some discussion. "

    When everyone was leaving at the end of the evening, the oil man checked his jacket. He did not know how it had been done, but the stolen wallet with all its contents was magically back in the inside pocket.

    The reason I wrote the piece above
    was it’s conncetion with the first line of this post

    I rather like black ice shoes

    Lolly’s brown has set the bar

    My posts have been corrupted
    but in a hundred years
    not one damn soul on
    this rat infested planet
    will bat an eyelid about it
    so let’s move on
    and get real

    Salty Jack
    has taken years from my youth
    and mocked my sanity.

    You owe me ol’ son

    I have been reading and re-reading your posts
    til I am blue in the face

    Jack is of course a disciplinarian
    age about 59
    and I will now rumble up
    his only official joke.
    This was posted four years ago
    but like Jack’s discipline
    it’s as fresh as
    a strapped down daisy

    There was once an old salt called Jack who in his later years had nothing
    left but memories of his sea faring days.
    He decided to go back down memory lane and visit the docks from which he had sailed from so many times.
    He donned his bell bottoms and roll neck sweater and off he strolled around the dock area breathing in the clean air from a brisk wind.
    after a while he saw a working girl which brought back more pleasant memories when after getting his money after a good trip did partake of the pleasures of the flesh.
    He thought why not lets relive it all and after negotiated with the girl went to a nearby boarding house for a short stay to complete his trip down memory lane.
    After a little small talk Jack got down to business and was moving albeit a little slower than when in his youth but moving nevertheless.
    After a few minutes he asked the girl how she thought he was doing to which she replied not bad about three knots.
    What do you mean three knots Jack asked.
    You are NOT hard NOT in and you are NOT getting your money back.

    I saw this joke a few months ago on THE HUN and it really tickled my fancy and thought it appropriate.
