Given the bitching that seems endemic on Mornington Crescent Msg Boards, thought I'd try to set up a game here for those of us who don't get uptight with others who inadvertantly transgress the rules of the game.
So: Below is the first line of a standard 5 line limerick. Next poster supplies a following line and so on. Whoever supplies the fifth line then supplies the first line of the next limerick.
I think that's clear, shout if it's not.
So, first line:

While trying to shampoo the cat,
We got locked in mortal combat,
Three times round the bathroom
Could lead to a cat's doom

W, Haven't yet figured out how to get in touch with specific people on h2g2 yet, so if you can find P, R & N & let them know, that would be sound..
So, returning to the Lim.
