Anubis the Jackal

If we're on the subject of London Lemmings, let me now rant against tube 'customers' who completely ignore repeated requests to 'Please let customers off the train first please.' Saturday being a case in point. I was trying to get off at my stop carrying two very large and bulky items of heavy musical equipment over each shoulder. Naturally, being nearly twice as wide as normal, I let my fellow disembarkees get off before me to avoid blocking the tube doors. However, in the ensuing rush of lemmings trying to pile on to the train at the same time, I realised that without some drastic action, I would be stuck on until the next stop. After a couple of polite 'Excuse Me's to no avail, I simply leaned forward and heaved, dragging 3 people off the tube with me. Cue much grumbling and shouting. A pleasant "Thank you for letting customers off the train first" shut them up sharpish.

Gallo Pops His Cork.

More symmetry still if he got blown to pieces by a landmine that he purchased in Harrods. Whilst getting rogered by the captain of the English Rugby team.

Known in the trade as 'Change a word, take a third' because of the resultant division of monies for songwriting credits. See Williams, R. and his various 'song-writing partners'

Sorry, Mary...Otis wrote 'Dock of the Bay', as well as lots of his other hits.

Off-Topic Post-Whore!!!!!! What are we coming to? It'll be Nautilii and Cuttlefish next.

No, but lions do sometimes kill their own offspring. However, Babs; I totally agree with your sentiments. No man who beats his spouse, or any woman for that matter ,should be lionised (sorry.) This is often a problem with boxers, they can control any situation with their fists, so unfortunately bring this into their personal and emotional lives (see Tyson, Bruno et too-many-bloody-many al)

No, but I'll send my pet lobster along.

Yeah, Banshees... Talentless hacks, eh?

But at least you didn't have the traffic jams, what with being a Cornishman and all. Do the locals still spray 'Brits Out' graffiti over English Heritage signs down there?

re: Solar Eclipse. I went over to Northern France to avoid the traditional British hospitality (Radio One Roadshows, Traffic Jams, Overpriced food.) Spectacular is not the word! Clear skies, just one small cloud which strangely shrunk away to nnothing as the sun disappeared; birds roosting, stunned silence and all. Brilliant day.

Normal Carter Service will be resumed soon. Just trying to throw some auto-spammers off the scent. ATJ.

Whee!

Could I ask our esteemed spammers out there, just what has Jimmy Carter got to do with intercourse through the tradesmans entrance? Am I missing something here?

Good Point, Dave, but lest we forget, Mr. Dunn, who may have been mentioned in dispatches on these very pages is (possibly) proving immortal on this very diet / lifestyle. It will probably be the Atlantic diet and lifestyle. Them being Portuguese and all.

(several arse-witted posts deleted, IP 80.192.13.173 will be watched for future bell-endery)

Isn't it wonderful! As we move forward into the 2nd Millennium CE, the world is still spellbound by superstition and relics. I'm a big fan of yer actual relics. I like a good relic, so I do. Whenever I'm in a Catholic country, I make it my mission to have a good furtle around the local relics. Thus far, I've seen several dozen pieces of the 'true cross,' as well as several nails ,Jesus' foreskin (which looked a little like a manky Ringo,) underpants and, of course, the House of Mary , which was apparently flown from Nazereth to either Turkey, Italy or the former Yugoslavia depending who you believe. I love that last link... That's right. 'Architectural and historical proofs' of the sort that will no doubt be wheeled out to 'prove' / 'disprove' that this discovery of Mr. Christ's tomb is legit. Or will the Vatican not want to risk another Turin Shroud debacle?

Banshees, what in Gods names are you on about? Not just this thread, but most of your posts have been utter nonsense recently.

No mention in Wiki of the fact that he is the ex-husband of Margaret. Probably.

I completely agree with your noble sentiments, R.A. ATJ (Equal 3rd in DDP )

Hopefully he doesn't 'Watch for Badgers' in the same way as Ron Davies Phil Drabble is a noted badger enthusiast. He hand raised a badger (which he gave the wonderful name of 'Bill') and wrote about the experience in the rather trippy book 'Badgers At My Window', not content with this magnum opus, he wrote an apocalyptic follow up 'No Badgers In My Wood', which detailed the sad decline and fall of 'Bill'. I remember it as a sad parable of our times.

My god! You're right, Get me Dan Brown and James Cameron on conference call!

But surely if the Bible could trace the line of David down to Jesus (...Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson and all that guff) some astute scholar can trace the lineage on from there. Maybe there's some chap in Glastonbury, The South of France, Tel Aviv or Essex who is the living descendant of old beardie bollocks. "Kevin which is the son of Darren which is the son of Barry which is the son of Wayne etc..."

Some disappointing star-watching over the last few days, what with the low cloud and drizzle in my neck of the woods.I wonder what the weather is like over Patricks way? Selsey in West Sussex as I recall.
