A Bit Of Light Relief

[naomi24]

From another thread:

vetuste_ennemi, //I'd been following last night's humorous exchanges on the Omnipotent Creator thread. Several hours without rancour or inanity. An R&S first!//

It’s not a first, VE. Believe it or not, many years ago, we formed our own cult called the Loonies - not to be confused with the Moonies. We had fabulous parties aboard the Ark (me with George Clooney in tow); we sang ‘Knees up Mother Brown’ and ‘Roll out the Barrel’, ate jellied eels, and even formed our own theatre group, performing regularly at the Royal Albert Hall, with a trapeze artiste dressed in a very fetching knitted baggy sequined swimsuit, and encased in a chastity belt, the key to which was much sought-after – and whom, incidentally I subsequently auctioned to the highest bidder for a lucrative half a packet of Polos! Our spotlight was a 100 watt light bulb, and we had singers, and a band playing instruments ranging from saucepan and lid, to shoe box and rubber band, to comb and paper, and most impressive of all, the magpipes - at least I think that’s what they’re called (perhaps the ‘musician’, who is still around, will confirm that?)…….. and despite the many dastardly plots to relieve me of the key to the wine cellar, I clung to it determinedly. Well, I would, wouldn’t I! And all this amid some very weighty religious discussions! Oh what a sensible bunch we were! :o)

Such fun! Anyone remember it? Have I left anything out?

She's finally flipped.

[naomi24]

Ha ha! I've been flipping backwards and forwards for years! ;o)

[naomi24]

Oh well, not such light relief. Perhaps there are few remaining here who were around then - and maybe the ones that are have forgotten - but I haven't.

Carry on chaps! Onwards and upwards! :o)

"flipping backward and forward for years..."
You were that trapeze artiste?

[society]

Haha! Nice... very nice :)

[naomi24]

No, not me ... she's still around, but unless she remembers and chooses to reveal her identity, my lips are sealed. ;o)

[Zacs-Master]

Well, you're making more sense than DTC. But only just.

[wolf63]

When I was at primary school I used to envy the other kids who could do a forward flip without putting their hands on the ground. To me it seemed to defy gravity.

I haven't been down in this part of AB for ages. It always seem, to me, that the same 'argument' is discussed and dissected repeatedly.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion

Zacs, another 16 Boddies and you will understand.......(I don't want that to sound condescending - lol) Naomi is probably half way to the Albert Hall champagne bar!

[naomi24]

Wolf, //It always seem, to me, that the same 'argument' is discussed and dissected repeatedly.//

This thread confirms that isn't necessarily so. Far from it. ;o)

The problem we had with our trapeze artiste was that she was the one most likely to break her neck - but would she listen? No! :o)

[Zacs-Master]

Damn, I thought I was safe in here ;-). Boddingtons! Yeeeuck.

[DTCwordfan]

How about a Theakstons OP then......

[Zacs-Master]

Now you're talking. Mostly ***, but you're talking. ;-)

[naomi24]

DT, I know nothing of beer (that is what you're talking about, isn't it?) but our wine cellar - to which I still hold the key - (gerrroff) - catered for every taste.

[Zacs-Master]

Past tense - have you drunk it all?

[DTCwordfan]

Excellent, naomi, a bottle of a good red, a sound Bordeaux, Burgundian or Rioja, wine and a debate on metaphysicisms.

[Zacs-Master]

(It's like having a friendly old alcoholic uncle round for tea isn't it)

[naomi24]

Zacs, //Past tense - have you drunk it all? //

Not quite - but it's remained unopened for several years - hence the past tense.

DT, clink - cheers - now back to the other thread with you for the debate on metaphysicisms.

[DTCwordfan]

Oh then, bring on the cucumber sandwiches and a Pavlova.

[naomi24]

This is a wine cellar - not a flipping (there's that word again!) restaurant!!
