Nice structured piece of work Pugsy, the irony in the last three lines is sublime, and just a little perverse.

I thought some of the replies posted were revealing too Spit

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Nice one Pug.
Poor old Admiral Nelson is no longer with us now, on the 8th day of March 1966 in Dublin's city fair old Nelson took a powder and he blew, gone from the city centre for good where he lorded over the natives from his perch high above O'Commell Street.
I remember the night well, we were in a city centre pub a few hours before the bomb exploded, a mighty bang and the Admiral dissappeared. mercifully not a single injury was caused.
They used to charge 6 pence to climb Nelson's Piller, never went up it meself, I believe his stone head is in the civic museum here in Dublin. 'The Spire' is in his place now.
Very few Dubliners were ever up Nelson's pillor, mostly tourists used to climb the 166 steps to the top where it had an overhead cage wiring to prevent the suicidal leapers from jumping over the rails.
There used to be a first world war joke about the Pillor, I remember me granny telling it to me although I was to young to get it at the time. Someone once asked a Dublinman what was the difference betwwen Lilian Gish and Nelson's Pillor, to which the Dubliner replied 'Haven't a clue Sir, I was never up any of them'

You know, us geezers on here try to work things out that don't add up, well, what is puzzling me of late is, how does that Salesman on the Oak Furniture Land advert, afford such a lavish Pad?

Romeo locks his basement flat,
And scurries up the stair.
With head held high and floral tie,
A weekend millionaire.
I will make my bed
With her tonight, he cries.
Can he fail armed with his chocolate surprise?
