Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I thought it went 'Give me the boy WHEN he's seven and I will give you back the man' but I'm usually wrong.
I think I heard somewhere it was the Jesuits when they used to educate the upper class young boys, ya gotta be real brainy to become a Jesuit priest, they are the elite, I'll guess it was them.

'And must see jawdroppers, all without a hint of a subscription...' so the ad goes for 'Now' streaming films.
Can someone please tell me what a 'Jawdropper' is? I think I saw one in 'Carry on Dentist' is it the big stainless steel thing they use to keep the mouth open? and who would want to watch that.
By the way do they do jawstoppers and where would I get one for the wife?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

well you are half right as usual it was the Jesuits who said "give me the boy until he is seven and I will give you the man" speaks for itself really - giving the boy when he is seven would be too late - the chinese follow the same principle - start as early as possible - have a look at chinese kindergartens - not much kinders but lots of gartens!!

jawdroppers - I shop for general household goods and dog and cat foods and keep a rolling account - everytime I say to the missus " you owe me another $100 her jaw drops.

bye the bye the Jesuits never used the term towards girls - they knew their boundaries and how to keep their tackle undercover!

what about "well I'll be blowed" were from? or ya could have knocked me down with a feather?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

"well I'll be blowed", was that Windy Miller?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Jaw drops, yes that's a reasonable answer Gummy, why not, you have acid drops and lemon drops, ba gum that woman of yours sure swallers a lot of jaw drops.
I'm afraid you have me blowed on the blow question, is it of nautical origin?
By the way I know you chaps are too honest to googe for answers, that goes without saying, anyway what's the point of cheating oneself.

There used to be a fella on here years ago and he'd be back with the answers in about five or ten minutes every time, swore blind he never googled, but if you googled it yourself afterwards you could see it was almost word for word to the google answer.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I remember one year I took my native American friend to see the Grand National at Aintree, we were old friends even though he never drank a drop of alcohol in his life, he was related to that famous apache leader 'Passing Cloud' my friends name was 'Passing Pubs'
Anyway when we arrived at Aintree I took him on a tour of the course, when we got to Beechers Brook I told him that this was probably the toughest fence on the course, many's the fancied horse came to grief here. We had a photo taken standing under the fence and then I asked him what he thought of Aintree, he looked puzzled as he said 'Ain't tree, is bush'
Sorry about that but I just had to get that one out of me system.
