Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

The coat of arms really made me laugh Sweetie, what a beautiful imagination you’ve got there, I love it.

I’ll tell you a true story.
When I was in my thirties I wanted to make a signet ring for my dad and engrave the family coat of arms on it, no searching the internet back then but I finally found it in the National Library, I had to sit there and draw it out.
Now I know I like a drink but I’m no dipso, guess what was on the coat of arms? A shield with a sheaf of wheat and underneath THREE FISHES! “Typical” said the missus when I showed it to her.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

When I was 21 it was a very good year
Although I can’t remember where I where
But it was a very good year

When I was 32 me hair turned blue
And I got the flu when I was 32

When I was 4 nought
I had learned to snort and the world was tort
When I was 4 nought

When I was 55 I became alive
Again and again when I was 55 then

When I was 66 I had learnt to ‘fix’
Me and the wife where in such strife
When I used to ‘fix’

Now that I’m 70 some
I can count the sum of being a bum
Now that I’m 70 some!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

does that mean you are often "three sheafs to the wheat, and get 'fished' a lot??

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I researched the history of it and it seems we are a very very olde family, about two thousand years ago one of my ancestors was among the throng when Jesus preached on the mount (never knew Jesus rode a horse) anyway my ancestor was greedy and when the loaves and fishes were gettin’ gave out he snatched three of them, but he was too late for the bread, he came back from the holy land, he was only over there on a holiday in the first place, ever since that day he was known as Mickey Three Fishes, the sheaf of wheat was added to the crest to remind his descendants that one always kneads bread in this life.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

pfft - cant stand sloppy researchers tryin to give their family crest a pull up - now where is me correcting pencil??

ah here it is - now let's begin the begin but not before we tell the zeppelin and his airbag where he can shove it in the tunnel where no light gets in !

now back to Jesus and family crests - Jesus did not ever to my research ride a horse but he did ride a donkey and if you look carefully on the forehead of all donkeys resides a cross

point two - there were 5 loaves and 2 fishes so how the bloody hell he could snatch 3 of them must be a modern day miracle performed by st Jem of the emeralds!

indeed you R correct about the bread as it is often called the staff of life.

Must try harder next term and for the term of your natural life
