Hooray for Cliff Michelmore, friend of the iguana.

You just brought back into my mind the music of 'Tonight with Cliff Michelmore', hooray too for Fyffe Robertson fine example of beard and Tweed - no friend of the Salmon!

I've been led to believe Mr Mitchelmore was into Bananas in a big way.

Mind you, I've been led into one disaster after another throughout my pathetic life.

Bulbous?

How observant.

Thank you.

PM

Bulbous brings to mind a certain nose of a certain ex-husband. Bulbous indeed. Now back to the regularly scheduled pogrom.

Charpa

Bulbous? Is that a person that eats too many light bulbs?

Bulbous is a description of Spring -

"It had been a bulbous Spring; Daffodils and Squills had had a particularly good year. For me though it was back to the compost"

Isn't Bulbous what the farmer uses to take his bulls to the cows?

Inch you are confusing that with Bull basque something the farmer puts on the cows to make them more alluring if not to the bull then to him.

What's all this got to do with Cliff Michelmore, the man who introduced doilies to Matabeleland?

Don't they have bulls in Matabeleland?

I'm sure they do. At least the Mashona next door in Mashonaland are well-known for their bulls. At the traditional beef feast a bull is ritually slaughtered, roasted and eaten at a table of Diospyros wood bedecked with doilies. They even make a specially written menu on a doilie. I believe it is called a 'Doilie Carte'. Or is that the conveyance used to transport them from the canoes of Ipi Ipi maidens, who bring them up the Inyankuni river as far as Bulawayo?

It is all so long ago now - how I wish I had kept a diary.

More Port Erskin?

Don't mind if I do. Partial to the vinho do Porto, though I am more of a Madeira man meself. And Sherry.

I'd just like to know why nobody asked me to comment on this thread.

You can all fuck off. The lot of you.

Kiss my arse. (Not in a gay arse kissing way.)

Bastards.....

Just kidding. It's been the best Christmas ever for us. Hope it's been good for you guys and gals too.

Love you all.

Skoob.

Skoob I have a sink plunger - that'll do the job in a particularly non-gay way

Ever the exhibitionist.

I think I may have a hangover. Made the dinner yesterday, and by the time I'd done, I wasn't hungry any more.

Typical.

Regards and salutations

Skoob.
