I see England, I see France

[DaSwede]

Last week I saw an old episode of Moonlighting. the name of the episode was I see England, I see France, I see Maddie's netherworld. It immediately struck me as probably being a paraphrase, so I searched for that phrase barring the netherworld-part, and got tons of hits. I gather it's a 'teasing rhyme' (if that be the term) and that the last part of it would normally be I see (name)'s underpants. But even that sounds like a paraphrase to me, as if the origin was oh I don't know - a Churchill speech or something... "I see England, I see France, united in ..." etcetera. (Just fantasizing.)

Does anyone know anything about the origin - or if the rhyme is the origin.

Thanks in advance and for now, more personal thanks sometime next week.

THE FLU.
hehe..(:O)
later dudes. pssst its cettis (thanks robinia)birthday...ive sent her a message via sports and on her thread in suggs.

[shaneystar2]

Gosh and there I was thinking I was in for a morning of sprout peeling passion.
I had better run along and find Cetti now because it will probably take me all day to post a message in worsa .
I hope you are all being virtuous and tossing your pancakes today.

[jno]

wow, you have to have blood tests before you can be in the carnival? That all sounds very exclusive - can you get in if your blood's not blue, neti?

[DaSwede]

Promises, promises... Oh, the flu :(

I have a doctor's appointment too and then I'll go to town on going to town to buy a new cutting board. My old one isn't old at all but it's a wooden one and it reeks of stuff I certainly don't remember having "engulfed and devoured". I shall keep an eye out for carnivals. The last carnival-resemblant thing I saw was a Catholic procession which followed me around for hours - help!

[Robinia]

oh we're back to that again are we?...sweating, moaning & tos.....
you can't say that now you know...one 'flips' now one does...

I know what you mean neti it is possible to take a blood sample pain & bruise free but that's not nearly so much fun for them....tut.

[DaSwede]

...and now they're sending an Italian woman to follow me...

[shaneystar2]

I've just had an email saying I have a message in that PM thingy from someone in Derby which says ...

Please click on the link below if you wish to log in to SportsAnswerBank and read message from shaneystar2.

I am now sending messages to myself apparently !!

And when I wander off to look ( and it's very complicated for an old Biddy like me ) there is no message !
Mama Mia .

[netibiza]

Back again - my arm looks like a heroin users. Anyway all signed off from hospital now, shoulder is all ok, but still have a signed form which lasts a year so I can go back if necessary. Bought myself one of those new tin openers which don't leave sharp edges (lidl 12.99�) and it was a jolly long walk from the hospital to Lidl but knew I'd regret it if I didn't get it (yes I know it rhymes). Just had an illegal plate of egg and chips, felt I deserved it

[netibiza]

I can't find cetti's thread in suggs - can someone link it please.

[Robinia]

1 out of 10...quel suprise. Well how many teddies are called NALLE?...two of mine are called Michael and




Vincent...hahahaha. It's true.

Funny you should mention Italian Kit 'cos today I shall mostly be scoffing amaretti morbidi.....I'll save the crrt ck for later. What was it wearing? erm...looks like wax crayon shavings but mine has chopped nuts on it...chopped nuts, chopped nuts....I like the sound of that.

[shaneystar2]

3 out of ten ..I really must brush up on my Inlopps .
My Blaxmos and Barbords need a polish too.

[Robinia]

holy hairnets! the weather's gone wild...well, it's calmed down a little for the minute. It's a fat lot of good spending 39/11 on having hi-lights done when you have to wear a balaclava just to fetch the milk in...tut. I should have bought some lego hair instead..... it could have waited another fortnight but the voices were telling me have it done...

[DaSwede]

LMAO, I laughed so hard at jno's IKEA game that some village fool in the park started laughing with me! (My window's open, it isn't cold here.) This is probably difficult for you lot to understand, but the fact is that most IKEA furniture names sound completely deranged in Swedish as well. Still, it's a mystery why they don't anglify the names for the UK.

Congrats, Neti, on your shoulder being officially okay, that's great news, I'm happy for you.

This is what we eat instead of pancakes There's almond paste hiding under the cream.
