Dear Tom,

I thought it wiser to reply to your declaration here rather than on Homer's Homilies.

Aw! Shucks! Now look what you made me do

blush21.gif   blush21.gif  :blush21:  :blush21:  :blush21:  :blush21:  :blush21:

I'm not quite convinced that it's all over between you and James, Tom so how about a compromise on our dancing date  

dance.gif you  :dance: me  :dance: James

We can rendezvous by the smaller pyramid and perform the Sand Dance
You Wilson, James Keppel and me, Betty. We'll show those camels a thing or three!!

Highly honoured, but unconvinced ! Jester.gif

Dare I say it?

Oh, what the heck!

Love

Why hello Gracie.
Suddenly I feel quite shy. blush21.gif  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.  laugh.gif

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.  Juggle.gif

Tom

Good Morning Tom, sun.gif

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.   cloud9.gif

We could easily kidnap James after luring him with tickets to the Millennium Stadium and diverting to the airport instead. dance.gif  dance.gif  dance.gif

The version of the Carruthers story I heard in the army was slightly more colourful Tom and not for the telling here! blush21.gif

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.

Hugz

Grace

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?”

I'd heard a little about Carruthers in the Mess. Something about a fancy dress party, a green man, a pink lady and two naked Jamaicans with a bowl of custard and an avocado. So unbelievable that I dismissed it out of hand. But now you come to mention it, he does look a bit shifty.

Foewarned is forearmed.   laugh.gif

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. oops.gif


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)

Tom

Now for something entirely different. dance.gif

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!!

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.
