lolol Prickly - I take it back.

But if you want something politically incorrect, watch this Billy Connolly clip:

I was crying laughing at it :-D

I'm more offended because I missed it. Far past my bed-time.LOLOL

Perhaps the moderator, does not understand humour, hence the OP not being re-instated.

LOL :-D.....politically incorrect but it's the way he tells them :-0 :-D

well there we have it - I just knew PH would never post anything nasty - she's far too nice

and back to tattoos LOL

Thanks to the visitation of the Scottish Clan last weekend............i can now understand what Billy Connolly and Emma are saying!! :-D :-D :-D

AT LAST A BREAK THROUGH. <3 <3 :-D

Next thing to be removed will be any reference "Handcocks Half Hour"

Unfortunately the bit posted did not come across as a lullaby or a bit of comic lyrics.

Perhaps there should have been mention of Tommy Cooper in the posting.

Did you put that d in deeliberately Merlin? :-0 ;-) :-D

hahaha Prickly. My OH's first visit to Scotland was hilarious!

I joked with him that I'd have to translate. He laughed, said he wouldn't have any problem because he understood my Mother and he watched Taggart.

Oh Aye! Just you wait laddie! He laughed again.

First episode was him not understanding the man in the service station on the way to my rellies. I translated.

Second episode was with my Scottish family. Everybody talking at once, getting faster and faster. OH staring at me............ what? OH laughing at me.......... I can't understand a word you're saying! lolol

I left Scotland when I was 12. I was in my mid thirties when OH & I went to Scotland. It took me five minutes to start talking Scottish again.

:-D

Oh come on Glitter Baby, don't tell us you didn't know it was a comedy song!

could be my Spelling,should go to Specksavers and get a pair of specs like the ones on your avatar :-D :-D :-D.but if I remember correctly,he committed, what some people objected to on here,and there is another song title which mentions it. :-D :-D :-D ;-) Either way it sounds the same when spoken except when introduced on the TV. it was much faster. ;-)

Never heard of it which is why I did not think it was a suitable lullaby.

Which is why I think it should have mentioned the words were from a Tommy Cooper song then perhaps it would not have been sent for review

See you earned Brownie points and back
on Prickles. :-D :-D

Congrats Prickles Babe, Common sense prevailed at last

*Tuts* - no mention of Tommy Cooper :-D

In the words of Tommy Cooper...........

"Just like that!"

:-D

Just to add....something else dad's shouldn't do :-0

When Father Papered the Parlour

Our parlor wanted papering, and Pa says it was waste
To call a paperhanger in, and so he made some paste.
He bought some rolls of paper, got a ladder and a brush
And with my mummy's nightgown on, at it he made a rush.

When Father papered the parlour you couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there! paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling the children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family so 'stuck up' before.

The pattern was 'blue roses' with its leaves red, white, and brown;
He'd stuck it wrong way up and now, we all walk upside down.
And when he trimm'd the edging off the paper with the shears,
The cat got underneath it, and dad cut off both its ears.

When Father papered the parlour you couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there! paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling the children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family so 'stuck up' before.

Soon dad fell down the stairs and dropp'd his paperhanger's can
On little Henrietta sitting there with her young man,
The paste stuck them together, as we thought t'would be for life,
We had to fetch the parson in to make them man and wife.

When Father papered the parlour you couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there! paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling the children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family so 'stuck up' before.

We're never going to move away from that house any more
For Father's gone and stuck the chairs and table to the floor,
We can't find our piano, though it's broad and rather tall,
We think that it's behind the paper Pa stuck on the wall.

When Father papered the parlour you couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there! paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling the children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family so 'stuck up' before.

Now, Father's sticking in the pub,through treading in the paste,
And all the family's so upset, they've all gone pasty faced.
While Pa says, now that Ma has spread the news from north to south,
He wishes he had dropped a blobof paste in Mother's mouth.

When Father papered the parlour you couldn't see him for paste
Dabbing it here! dabbing it there! paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling the children stuck to the floor
I never knew a blooming family so 'stuck up' before.
