What are some typical British items... read on I need help

Hey , you are weird spindi. I bet it's real dark on Planet Spidius. You need too try rose tinted fantasies. Did you ever listen to The Move ????

Why would I wish to listen to The Move, whoever they are, when it has been recommended to me by someone who can do two trite, old-fashioned assertions in 13 words and doesn't know how stupid they are.

Might I catch this sad condition if they happened to come on the radio without warning. Could I end up inventing everybody for my own convenience instead of allowing them to discover themselves for me?

That would be no good.

'Woke up this morning, half asleep, with all my blankets in a heap, and yellow roses scattered all around'

I love the Move

Well smorgsy--you have hinted you are not very well educated. Was that one of their "lyrics".

But speaking of typical British or, to be more precise, English, I just saw an interview with the great Lester Piggott. He was at Haydock Park for the unveiling of a statue of himself. Haydock Park being the racecourse where he rode his first winner at 15 (I think) and his last winner many event filled years later.

How well he looked if somewhat lived in, and how dignified his answers were. So big an English life has Lester led that one can hardly imagine it.
He's one of my very favourite guys and no essay on typical British should be without some representation of him.

He was known as "The Housewive's Favourite" and the ladies of the land backed his rides in The Derby no matter what they were.

"Woke up this mornin' there's frogs inside my socks,
Your Mama she'sa hidin' inside the ice-box.
Your Daddy walks in wearin' a Napoleon Bonaparte mask
Then you ask why I don't live here,
Honey, do you really have to ask."

I know that suspendy, and have posted as such...

I love Lester, my Dad used to be an amateur Jocky... had the priveledge of seeing Lester race many times. Won £60.00 at Pontefract races on Lester. He's my dad's favourite as well, he has one of his whips (I have posted this before).

You can't touch The Houghton Weavers with Sid and Johnny's abysmal renderings!

Sit thi down

Who's poor choice?

My choice was brilliant!

Your choice was outstanding, I just hadn't got around to finding the right words to compliment you with :wink:

I just love that eye! x

Needs botox, collagen fillers and blehroplasty - or whatever it's called...

Don't we all

Cheers, Mathos...


I've come over all depressed now...

Have you heard the one about the American Ryder Cup team?

No but I'm sure you'll be a birdie!

Hello Mr Spendius and Mr Mathos, are you 2 having a fight today?

Your very funny when you do.

Mathos has informed us that his dear wife is indisposed to such an extent that he is having to do the housework.

One doesn't fight with people who are under such a disadvantage.

Mathos dusting is an object of pity.

That is funny Mr Spendius, I wonder if he wears an apron

Oh and I get lovely chubbly letters of nice people on here but it says I can't answer back yet because I have not been on long enough Thats not fair.

Hello smorgs, I like you xx

Stop prodding me you lot. I have a longish essay to write on the ID thread and I must get on.
