Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

More happenings on the Forum.

Should boxers hammer away as fierce as they can?
Or should we insist upon a ban?
Punching like hell to roll up a score
And ending up unconscious on the floor.
Is it sport or is it not?
To lose the little bit you’ve got.


Carol’s got her list and it’s nearly filled
Of brave souls willing to be grilled
Not many men for questions to be asking
But then we’re not very good at multitasking
It’s “What are you having?” I love to hear
And you can get me a pint of my favourite beer.


The writing of books is a lonely old task
And all your faults you try hard to mask
But a true account of your life should be given
With all the ups and downs of living
But it’s a tricky thing in the writing game
To come up with a good catchy name.
A useful title for the prospective buyer
Is to call your book “Barbed Wire”
(It doesn’t tell you much about the book but it’s very catchy)

Jem,that bloke in the photo is saying "OOH,look at my new Faberge' watch...it tells MUCH nicer time than my dustman's-and only cost OODLES of wedge!" [please be gentle,when you break it to him that Faberge' never made watches]
PLUS...I reckon a good name for a really successful author would be Paige Turner.

Yuppies always seemed to be blokes, and what do blokes share "BOLLOCKS" of course.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

It depends what anyone would define a Yuppy as.
It was anyone that worked in the city or Canary Wharf, aged between 20-35, carried a Filofax and a mobile phone glued to their ear, and lived in the dock lands area.
These days exit the Filofax, as all the data would be in the phone.

That is a very downwardly mobile word Spitty., never used by Yuppies, they couldn't pronounce it the right way for a start.
