Ah blood on the rooftops well fast forward from blood in the desert but I get ya stance - yes a touch of the casbar in there!!
I once knew a Jew with the Pru
Who could dance hava na gella on cue
He would holla and shout till his money ran out
He didn’t stay long with the Pru!
But Ishmael was craftier than that
He sold tea towel wraps for a hat
By the end of the week he had shekals beneath
and his wife asked heh Ishmael what’s that?

in fact I nearly popped my clogs today. I was waddling along my daughters shrubbery & I fell down the bank. I lay there unable to get up for what seemed hours. Luckily the neighbors saw my feet sticking out of the compost heap.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
HUH-s'nuffin',bruv!This very day,my mobile telecommunications device rang...in and of itself,a rare happenstance. T'was a person of whom I have knowledge,a businessman who dwells in my locale. He required assistance,was in need of succour regarding his somewhat unfortunate circumstance-to wit,having two employees,both of recent aquaint with his specialist services,inform him he could 'upstick job,arsewise'. Hmm...of all the peeps you may think of when such unfortunate and unforeseen circumstance overload your capability to contain and cope with incidents,I would rate myself in the bottom ONE. However-off I trundled,was informed in noble but worried fashion of the actions and deeds required to redeem the situation.
...which is how come Yours Truly ended up trundling around the area in a Foden which has a 12-speed crash-box,as I emptied sewers!!! Yep -yer ol' mate Puggleswick,known for his sparkling wit,amazing mind,graceful demeanour and,last but not least,his pussy-magnet iconocism...was trundling around in a 25-year-old Foden,emptying septic tanks and sewers!!!
Y'wanna know the WORST of this tale? Hmm? ...I loved it! Every moment.
But-the REALLY surprising [to me,anyway] thing,is that on arriving back at the yard with the tanker [well,it'd be rude not to return it,don'tcha think?] I was offered the position full time,if I'd like it! Gadzooks-I was somewhat at a loss,as all I set out to do was assist a mate in difficulty...and..well...YAAAY! So as from today,I'm the local Shit-Shifter...which kinda proves that even in really bucolic,pastoral,ultra non-industrial,forgotten areas such as WheretheEllizzit,in which yer akshal Pug resides,there are miracles at work!

One of my best mates worked in the sewers of Dublin all his life Pug, he was always in good form and really loved his job, told yarns of enormous rats, even found a body one time. Unfortunately he died of drink when his old liver packed in.Strange Gummy but last night I was watching people snatching up copies of the bible printed in German in the time Of Martin Luther, a good series on BBC4, made in German but subtitled in English, 2 guilders a copy back then and selling like hot cakes. The printers must have cleaned up and made a mint.
IF Martin Luther had an apple conputer
It would have made his task much easier to fulfil
But he had to be contented, for they weren't invented
Working all night with candle and quill.
I thought they only used gilders for building skyscrapers.
2.2 approx. guilders to the Euro today, that means they would have being shelling out about 2 Euros per copy of the bible translated to German back in the 1500's, very expensive. (beer was about 3 cents a tankard full at the time, 90 pints or a bible, you wouldn't have to ask me twice to choose) 'Roll up, roll up all ye of plenty faith' They seen them coming as the granny used to say.
