Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I watched an old 1960's film "The Lost World” yesterday, not bad for it's time, it passed an hour and a half pleasantly enough for me. Didn’t Spike Mulligan write in one of his fairy tales “And they got married on the following yesterday and never looked back” loveable nutcase that he was.
Love that actor Michael Rennie, he's a sight for upset stomachs, all 6'4" of him. Pity about Michael’s sudden death, he also missed out on a few quid advertising money, Gary Lineker was in like Flynn with his salt and vinegar crisps, Mick could have been on a nice little earner with the Rennies digestion tablets.
Thinking of Morlocks, my ugly cousin Helen has an unusual job in a hospital…turning stomachs.
Here's an old rhyme we used to recite as kids, I have no idea of it's origin.
I've a pain in me belly said Dr. Kelly
Rub it with oil said Dr. Doyle
Is that a good cure said Dr. Moore
Tis in me sh.te said Dr. White.

An ugly cousin Jem?This a relief to hear it for I too, though from a truly handsome family of forebears, had an ugly cousin. In Bognor Regis.
No wonder the then Prince Regent whilst flouncing along the seafront cried out
" Bugger Bognor". To which the populous retorted "Who's your fat friend?" an uncouth reference to his companion Beau Brummell. or possibly to the future king himself.
My ugly cousin was so ugly that when the paper bag was taken off of her head so she could gulp the fresh a breeze along the seashore, where she sold sea shells dreadful things happened......... horses bolted, their eyes bloodshot, their mouths frothing, dogs were sick and down and out tossed themselves in to the path of oncoming no .9 buses.
Where was I ?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
This is the ghost of Christmas’s past for me, Christmas Eve at 1.30 in the morning, I have found my way home and my house purely by instinct, I scramble up the stairs to be greeted by this loving sight, ah well somebody had to keep me in line in those happy days.
Yes Sweetie that was the very film, I found it strange to see Claude Rains sporting a red beard, lousy dye job.
