Post by: Geezer on 21/06/2010 03:31:06: For those in the UK, it's time to wake up, or you'll miss it.

Post by: JimBob on 21/06/2010 20:19:45: Where do I put the poultice - HUMMMMMMMM. Perhaps that is not the best question to ask a smart-arse such as Geezer.

Don't you folks down in Texarcania know nuthin?

See, them Druidic geezers could teach them Romins a thing or two. Them knew the best way to get rid of a nasty ol' carbuncle was to plaster a right big poultice on it, just as the Sun was rising through a bit of ol' Stonehinge.

That's why them Druids called it the Summer Poultice.

Post by: JimBob on 24/06/2010 00:10:30: Sir, the last reference is beyond my ken. It is much less erudite than I expect of you as you seem to otherwise be a rational, fairly well educated human being but this, sir, is just a bit out of bounds.

Post by: Geezer on 24/06/2010 02:29:59: See, what I was gittin' at thar was that ol' wotsisname is called Daryl, or sumpin simular.

Who "her"?

Obviously the Druid high priestess of the Southern Hemisphere. The Druids git around even more than the Beach Boys.

Post by: SeanB on 30/06/2010 20:57:26: Her is actually meant to be HERE, blushingly. I must have had some Freudian slip on my mind, or not, as the case may be.

Is you imperclating that our Motown hero Stevie might be one o'them druidic geezers all dressed up in their funny hats and gowns? Seems a mite improbable to me.

Stevie is now looking like your compatriot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_bastard). If he continues on that diet he's headed for "Muumuus R us".

Stevie lay down on the Glastonbury stage with this Keytar, doing a Jimmy Hendrix style move, and had a helluva a job getting back up.

An excellent set apart from the nauseating "I just called to say I love you", [xx(], which I suppose he had to do.

Post by: Geezer on 08/07/2010 17:30:03: Maybe he joined the Meat Packers Union?

I was at a James Taylor concert near Edinburgh a few years back and he greatly pleased the audience when he announced that he was going to "gie it laldy".
