Why hello Gracie. Suddenly I feel quite shy. If you check our viewing public, I think you may find that the whole world is holding it's breath and watching this thread. Well, 230 plus reads, at least. James is peeved because he can't write a decent love poem, so he may not join us. However, I checked with Ralph and he says it's all right as long as we don't use his cider for a loving cup.
I remember once, in army days, in a strange place called Telekebir not far from Suez, there were no women to be seen. Not even a Scottish kilt to break the monotony. I was sharing a bivouack with that bounder, Carruthers, when the message came from outside the camp. "The camels are coming. The camels are coming"
Carruthers responded without batting an eyelid.
"Jolly good show! Save me a pretty one"
Did you ever meet him in the service ? A strange chap indeed.
Here's a memory check for you
Ramsbottom and Enoch and Me Now Mrs Clever Clogs. Who was Me?
Not convinced eh? Would I lie?
Sing your song to me, Queen of the Desert Let us sit by the banks of the Nile See! The stars that shine brightly above you Are enhanced by the warmth of your smile
Look at that. Off the cuff and never a full stop or semi colon in sight.
Tom .

Good Morning Tom,
Aw, don’t be shy, Tom – eat your cake!
Ralph actually said, “it’s alright as long as you don’t drink from his side of the cup.” Very health conscious is my Ralph, bless him.
We could easily kidnap James after luring him with tickets to the Millennium Stadium and diverting to the airport instead.
The version of the Carruthers story I heard in the army was slightly more colourful Tom and not for the telling here!
You wrote that for ME? Without even taking a breath? Wow, How honoured I am!
Sorry Tom, can’t help you with your last query.

HA HA Oh yes I can! Me is Harry Korris (Mr Lovejoy) Happy days at the Happidrome.
Isn’t this a lovely day for knocking on the door of the Kremlin and asking “Is Len in?”

Holy guacamole, Tom!
Outrageous behaviour indeed,and in the mess too! I don't believe a word of it. It was impossible to get extra custard in the mess. They used it to re-sole DMS boots. It must be a tissue of lies.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I am looking for a little elucidation and education and I thought if ever there was a place for little education it would be here.
Can anyone help with this one? WHO SAID THAT?
Oh the sound of his groat threw me from my bed, As he blew up his mooly fit to waken the dead, Oh the noise of his grunge nearly blew off me head, And removed all the paint from the awning.
Scratch, scratch ???

Aah! Another distant memory. I do know this one. I think. Well, nearly.
It was either John Milligan or Spike Peel, a well known country group of the fifties.
(Eighteen fifties, that is)

Now for something entirely different. Rugby. World Cup. Good topic for the basilica. I had to laugh at the interview before the match with an England fan who flew out JUST FOR THE DAY AND ONE NIGHT! His name was Hugh Llewellyn-Davies. Now there's a good old English name for you boyo!! Love Grace
P.S Arnie has very graciously applauded England's win (in Gothic Castle thread) but since that was fast becoming a RUGBY thread I am taking the lberty of copying his reply here.
