Does anyone else get the feeling
- when gazing aloft at the ceiling -

[Hi jane - have you been doing cold turkey?]

Does anyone else get the feeling
- when gazing aloft at the ceiling -
That all is not well

[nope, Penny - just a bit of RL, is all][RL= real life]


Does anyone else get the feeling
- when gazing aloft at the ceiling -
That all is not well
With those neighbours from hell

Does anyone else get the feeling
- when gazing aloft at the ceiling -
That all is not well
With those neighbours from hell?
I do wish their baby'd stop squealing.


Don't talk to me about real life

Don't talk to me about real life
'Tis nowt but a sad source of strife

Don't talk to me about real life
'Tis nowt but a sad source of strife
I'd do without it

Don't talk to me about real life
'Tis nowt but a sad source of strife
I'd do without it
But teeth we must grit

Don't talk to me about real life
'Tis nowt but a sad source of strife
I'd do without it
But teeth we must grit
Whilst we sharpen the butcher's knife.


A twitcher who travelled to Tring

A twitcher who travelled to Tring [wot's a "twitcher"??]
Decided to wear lots of bling

"Some birdwatchers are keen rarity seekers and will travel long distances to see a new species to add to one of their "lists", e.g., life list, national list, state list, county list, etc. These fanatical birders are commonly known by the light-hearted slang term twitchers, particularly in the United Kingdom (though non-birders often mistakenly use twitcher as a synonym for birder or birdwatcher)."

All that jangling was wrong
And scared all the birds to Beijing

Oh? I thought he'd got egg on his face!
