Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Here's some more trivia for ee.When a lass were getting married and needed a posh frock, but couldn't afford one, a barrel of beer was purchased (or sometimes donated) and drinks sold to fund said posh frock. This was called the "bride-ale" and the posh frock was called the "bride-ale gown."
Say it along with me, bride-ale, bride-ale gown. It do sound similar to the modern bridal and bridal gown don't it just.
Now then, a bunch of musicians would oft perform around the village, moving from place to place using a cart that doubled as the performing stage.
If someone couldn't be @rsed to walk, they would hitch a ride on the musicians' cart, aka, jump on the bandwagon.
A-course, a few of they revellers might have had a spot too much of the bride-ale, and sometimes came a cropper. Thus, someone who has been drinking is said to have "fallen off the wagon."

He was swankin this-a-way and swankin that-at-way and sometimes Hatha-way so we ganged up on him one day and dee-spurred him – removed them old leather boots – flicked off his Stetzun and shared his cigar around with the lads and yest sent him packin back to Texas to them oil slicks in Houston or was that Galveston with all them nightclubs and bars and red light district bras!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Talking about bra’s, a subject I know little about by the way, why do they refer to the hollows in bra’s as ‘Cups’?, what have bra’s got to do with crockery or the football final? If it’s a case of a crockery thyme then they should refer to the bum part of knickers as ‘Bowls’, like a shop assistant would ask a lady who was seeking a new pair of drawers “What size bowls are you madam?”Silly names from the ministry of silly names.

Hat sizes are calculated by measuring the length and width, in inches, adding them together, and dividing them by two.By this I have determined that my wife's bra size is 13 1/2 (two times bowler hats sized 6 3/4).
Also known as 1 1/2 BSH (each).

They got the biggest everything in Texas Gummy.
Spitty has the flu and a gammy leg, you all know how miserable the flu makes us feel, right now he’s a hankering’, a type of hankering that can only be satisfied by handkerchiefs, dozens of paper hankies to blast the virus from his body.
Cowboys were very dependant on their handkerchief back in the olden days, an essential tool, they used it for covering their mouths during a sand storm, wiping sweat from their brow, as a bandage for wounds, robbing stage coaches and banks, blowing their noses, and wiping their asses, and hiding their dirty necks, that’s why you’ll always see them washing their hankies as soon as they reach water, just as the ancient Romans were forever washing their shitty sponges.
Yes folks the word ‘Hankering’ comes from handkerchief and accounts for a lot with the traditional cowboy, Yeeeeha! Yo-ho silver, away!
Right now I’m a hankering for a pint so I’ll be off shortly.
