Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Apologies for my tardiness and absence. I brung a note from The Chancellor of the Handbag excusing me from PE if you need it for your records.

Speaking of records, they seem to be making a small come back. Gone are the days though when you would go down the music shop and ask to listen to a particular singist or tunist. You would be set up in a booth with earphones and then the shop chappy or chappess would play said choon and direct it by the wonders of sound through wuzzy-pipes direct to your lug'oles.

Now you can download it using the interwebular to get sound without electric string. I tell you, these computers will never catch on.

I remember a story of a Scotsman returning from foreign abroad being asked by a Customs Ossifer, "Do you have any pornography in your luggage?" it being illegal at the time.
"Nay laddie," came the response, "I have nay use for it. I dinna have a pornograph to play them on."

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Our family tree is a little convoluted due to adoptions. Our youngest son's half-brother's mother, who would technically have been our son's stepmother, died suddenly last week, "whilst the balance of her mind was disturbed."

I didn't know her well, but she was a decent enough lady, and our son was upset and needed our support.


I have no intention of taking on any more pets, let alone wild aminals wot can give a nasty bite.


Spells is it? He's a Witch! Fetch the pitchfork, Mabel.

When I was a little lad living in Lincolnshire, spells was the name given to the wooden spindles of a chair. I have never come across the word used in that context anywhere else.
We also had "Sand-shoes" or "Daps" for doing PE. Again they're not words I've ever come across in common use.

Up in Lincs a small stream was called a Beck, but down here on the Riviera they are called Rhynes. It's no wonder that vurriners have trouble with the English language.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Very amusing posts Fruity always a pleasure to read.

What about ‘dizzy spells’ ?, I nearly had one once.

When Diana Dors was in her prime she was in Dublin doing a stint on a TV chat show. I was always a fan of hers, she was to me the next best thing to my idol Marlyn Monroe.
Strictly going on looks, when one is a young red blooded man, he couldn’t care less if a good looking bird had straw for brains, one is not interested in their brains at that age.

It was on a Saturday night and I had just finished working late at 10.30 pm.

The boss asked me out for a drink and we ended up in a pub in Donnybrook near the national TV station.

When we walked in there was Miss Dors sitting on a high stool at the bar chatting to the barman, I felt me heart flutter and nearly had a dizzy spell, Diana Dors in the flesh!.
She looked absolutely gorgeous, a red mini skirt on and her legs were crossed as she blew smoke rings from a long holdered cigarette.
Oh God!, even saying Diana Dors and flesh in the same sentence was enough to bring on a swoon, what a woman! Rest her soul.
********
Yes that was a good film Bret, Harris was “English Bob”, speaking with the accent or Jacob Grease Moggie, but he doesn’t do it as good as Peter O’Toole, O’Toole is a genius at the toff accent.

It’s understandable really when you consider the very first people, Adam and Eve, were Irish.
When they first saw each other Adam took one look at Eve and said “O’Hare!”, then she looked at him and said “O’Toole!”.

The rest is history, we’ve been everywhere since, even in outer space we have Mooneys and Maher’s (pronounced ‘Mars”).

We are very liberal in Ireland these days, we have gay parades and festivals regularly, we even have an interchangeable gay couple namely Michael Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzmichael, they are also musicians calling themselves “The Double Adapters”

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

well I remember FV alright heart throb of the late 50 perhaps - the women - well some women went crazy for him. The trouble about the garden of eden was the woman was walkin about with no clothes on - pity had to tame down his video thingy. those women there wouldn't boil up a billycan before dawn was up! burt I can remember old frankie before elvis and the beatles appeared on the scene.

but I still reckon Matt Munroe and your fella Val Donnigan had the edge on him.

well I'm stoppin off at a mates place along the trail and we sit out on the verandah in the evening with the billy aboil and me pickin ticks of his dogs back. Have ya ever had the pleasure? - there's a certain way of pullin em. If ya pull too hard the body seperated from the head and the head stays in and grows another body! then if you squeeze too hard as ya pulling the body bursts and you and the dog get squirted with tic blood - bloody messy business and ya wouldn't wanna be scratchin ya head much whilst ya at it either!

wash ya hands in dettol - so the method is a steady pull - even pressure and it comes out easily and once ya put it down it starts crawlin off agin!

well someone as gotta do the bloody job! tickety boo I say! I see they're marchin in London about summat Jem anything happen in Dublin?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

bloody hell Jem it worked! - used to be there every sat arvo in my younger days - ya were lucky ta get a table too - drinks and good food.
