when i was young and in my prime i ran away to sea,i stepped on board a china ship and bound for the open sea. A china man came up to me and said i was a spy and if i did,nt tell a tale he,d pop me in the eye.O gerraway pongo big chinese elephants nest in a rhubarb tree.The captains name was bongo he had a big fat eye,he used to chew his whiskers as the clouds rolled by.

Thought of a saying as I was driving home tonight. Where I was it wasn't raining but I was obviously heading towards it.

The saying was "It's looking a bit black o'er Bill's mother's"

Don't remember where it came from, or who Bill was (or his mother for that matter).

My five year old just sang:

 

Sticky Sticky,

Bubble gum,

 

Stick it up your mummys bum.

 

 

Call me old fashioned but I prefer the old ones

oil (hole) in my stocking,oil in my clog, if you don't gi me a penny i'll punch your dog. This was said after carol singing instead of the God bless you bit.

I don't know who Bill was either, but late father-in-law would say 'Joe' instead because that was his name.

Jabbers if I was your OH I'd make sure they put Daddy's name in there instead of Mummy:D
