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.

Possums, have you heard: robinia can't get out
I've written her an email about what it says on Tiscali's web site.

Jude! You can't just say you have a date and not tell us if it's a third chap or one of the old ones! Get back here, wild thing!

I don't know what we were expecting on Valentine's Day, Vinny, but I think it may have been something along the lines of... I don't know... you showing us your special rug or something... would have been nice...

Shaney you really have a thirst for blood don't you. Did British television air NYPD Blue? That was one of my favourite series; I had a place in my heart for Andy Sipowicz, great actor that Dennis Franz. You should get it on DVD (or whatever it's called nowadays) if you haven't seen it already.

They were just saying on the radio how this has been the mildest winter in Stockholm since 1756 or in other words since they started to keep record of the temperature here. I don't like the cold but I'm still wondering what's what; is this the global warming.

cream crackered he he he

[Jude123]

Morning All . Had a great night last night. My son and his friends have formed a Dire Straits Tribute Band called Telegraph Road and the appeared at a 'do'. It was their first gig and they did it for free as it was to raise funds for a young lad who is into bike racing. It was a really good gig. Mind you, you had to be into Dire Straits of course to appreiciate it.
Kit my dinner date is the one I met before Christmas. I'm not lining them up just yet Lol.

Have a good day all my Biddyfriends :o)

[jno]

rock and roll runs in the family, eh Jude? Money for nothing but the gigs are free...

<looks at forecast of heavy showers in Jamaica, packs brolly...grrr....>

[Jude123]

Hi Jno Yes music is in our blood. My Mum started ift all off as she was a music teacher.
Have a good time while you're on your travels.:o)

[DaSwede]

Oh, jno, now that we have your fleeting attention: Robinia says hi and bye, just in case she doesn't get her puta sorted before you're off. Tarquin is having a look at it today so there's still hope, but just in case.

"The one I met before Christmas", yes, but... <rolls eyes, sighs heavily> ...which one was that, Jude, was it Teabag ("I like it dipped 27 times")...? I don't know how you expect us to keep track, woman! /Dire Straits weren't bad and Telegraph Road is a great name for a tribute band. Are they on YouTube? I just had a quick look but as it's the name of a song there are too many clips and I can't be sure.

Ha ha, my nephew (not the two-year-old one, the middle-aged one) has taken to lying on a bed of nails! Well not all night or anything, just for a while. He says it gets the circulation started. He's had some problems since youth when he was on holiday and came back to his hotel in the middle of the night drunk, ignored the loud signs that the pool was shut down, dived into it - and learned it wasn't shut down for nothing but for the reason that there was absolutely no water whatsoever in it. It rendered him a fissure in the cervical spine; the doctors said he had been one millimetre away from becoming a tetraplegic.

His isn't this one but this site has the option to read in English, so: bed of nails

[Robinia]

<I've been silently sitting here for 20 mins & no one's noticed yet>

YAY, here I is!!!

thanks for your mails - no help at all, lol....but it did my poor broken heart good to hear from you x

Tarquers has sorted it, bless - it wasn't Tiscali at all, it was that bloomin' hippy & his wall building - I knew it was too high & a foo more frosts & that mortar will be out, mark my words :o)
t'was my norton firewall ...it was an old version which had been upgraded many times until it said 'Enuff!' so it's been demolished & despatched & I now have erm... <peers>.....ZoneAlarm...like you're bovvered, haha.
He's speeded (sped?...spid?) it up too so I'll be able to stalk you all around this site & some of those others you sneak off to as well! I was treated to a selection of his folky music of course....and some wild celtic transified stuff...think Riverdance on 78rpm!

enjoyed all (?) of your posts...ain't exactly worn your fingers to the bone 'ave ya eh?

hope I'm not too late to see jno off
I thought you brought the booze back not took it with...tut

I'm not a great fan of D S but I love this one yo

[DaSwede]

<in feeble voice> ...yay... she'll be even quicker now... ...yay...

did you bring cake?

Hope Tarquin didn't accidentally delete all my emails, I've written you three totally, Robinia.

Please please please tell me you're all having trouble with YouTube...? Hardly any of the thumbnail piccies (the ones that accompany each search hit) are visible to me, I just see the frames where the pictures should be. Please say it's not my puta... (If it is, how long does it take for Tarquin to get his riverdancin' self over here, Robinia?)

[netibiza]

Well I've done my best with the gardening section Robi, so

Don't blame me!!

[Robinia]

oh I knew I could rely.............on you netiiiiiii..........

there she goes, off to change her outfit again...I'll be glad when they've sorted her 'ism' ....she might be around long enough to finish a sentence...

bring cake Sweedie? what do you think kept me going during my hours in the wilderness?

thought for the day

YT is ok on my computer...is camping allowed in your park?

[DaSwede]

It's not technically allowed, Robinia, but I have seen people in sleeping bags. If he insists on bringing a tent, make sure it's a discreet one. No wait, I'm the hostess, I'll buy him one <..checks purse, ears go red...> ...and these are all the rave here now! <...looks out the window...> ...he's already here!

Hi Neti... bye Neti...


(They're back! The thumbnails on YouTube! I see them again! The problem started last night and it's been the same since then, I sh1t you not, just talking about Tarquin did the trick, ha ha ha, that is one whiz kid you've got there Robinia!)

[netibiza]

Hi daswede, bye daswede, there that should keep her happy!!

Robi I had zonealarm for a year and it drove me bonkers, wouldn't let anything in, or even me sometimes, so I'm happy with my Norton(which is a ten year one). One man's ceiling is another man's floor.

[Robinia]

oi, who turned up the volume on my tinnitus?! I thought it was flybyneti whistling past or jno being piped aboard, I couldn't hear myself singing...tut. It must be this cold weather, I'm thinking of adopting a polar bear...mmm, maybe not this one
he looks a little financially embarrassed

oh very profound muggy...it does shout more alerts than norton but I just say yes, get on with it...if I asked it why every time I'd be here all day...

You know it's going to be a bad day when you jump out of bed and miss the floor.

[netibiza]

Well, Robi it's an even worse day when you try to jump out of bed and find you are already on the floor!!!
