It\'s all gone quiet over here

Are you guys now ready, loins-girded, for the trip?

 

[jimi]

Girding yer loins

how do you do that then? Is it necessary?

Re: Girding yer loins

Vital. I think it's like the Freemasons, and you have to roll up your trouser leg, bare your breast and do a funny dance.

Re: Girding yer loins

I'm disappointed that a serious enquiry about the trip has already degenerated into an old gits chat show.

Sorry 'bout that, to get back on topic how many hens and pigs should they take?

I'm now told that for complete loin-girding, you also have to wear a toilet plunger on your head. I wonder if any of our readers have a picture etc etc etc.....?

PS for Jimi: (a) Does a "Flora Dance" involve being coated in margarine, or am I missing something here? (b) Who, or what, is a TOG? I have tried Google but all I get is a load of bo<span style="color:black">llocks</span> about duvets and Irish Disc Jockeys.

PAra to TCM muttered
I think I'd rather have it buttered!

Re: Girding yer loins

I think you are right.

Re: Girding yer loins

I thought that all world girdlers looked like this.

And any roads up, my email seems to have woken them from their slumbers, now they're talking about watch systems amnd the like, they must be real sailors.....

Chris on his seat was slumped
plunged in thought was 'e
about a rock his boat had bumped
'e wisnae verra happy
Oh how to sort this wretched thing
when suddenly the penny dropped
I'll ask Eliza he did sing
.....

There's a hole in my bucker dear Eliza ....
