Nativity

[maggiebee]

BREAKING NEWS!
The High Court of England has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene at Westminster this Christmas season.
This is not for any religious reason.

Apparently it proved impossible to find Three Wise Men in Parliament Buildings. A search for a Virgin continues.

There was, however, NO problem finding enough asses to fill the stable!

[lady-janine]

I believe you.

[gulliver1]

Maggiebee LOL.... Brilliant

[LadyCG]

It's nice that they've reserved Maggie and Gully a place each in the stable.

Merry Christmas :-)

[ToraToraTora]

Maybe the Scottish "Parliament" can find 3 wise women?

[Prudie]

Old hat and puerile. never mind, simple things and all that....

[royfromaus]

I'm with Prudie.

[anneasquith]

Maggie, you will be stoned to death :-)

[royfromaus]

Well, at least the anti SNP version wishes the readers a Merry Christmas.

[Peter Pedant]

Aydin-burrah - three wise leddies?
You could choose the five Marys
The only thing is - the attended Mary Queen of Scots who wasnt exactly er wise (1587 and pre)

is this suitable for knock-about AB ?

They are known to history as 'The Four Marys'; Mary Seton, Mary Fleming, Mary Beaton and Mary Livingston.

christmas sale - one knocked off - four then

‘Old hat, and puerile.’ Ho ho ho

[Peter Pedant]

no MINE was old hat and girlie

Coughton Hall (middle of nowhere)has a thingey embroidered by ( they said) one of the Four Marys - do you think I take these things too seriously and should just
bang my fists on the table and yell ( amusingly ) Bollooooo!

[maggiebee]

Oooh, doesn't take much to get the BoJo acolytes to rise to the bait. As TTT would say PMSL.

[roadman]

naivety it will happen anyway they will just fake the wise

BREAKING NEWS!

The High Court in Edinburgh has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene at Holyrood this Christmas season.

This is not for any religious reasons.
Apparently it proved impossible to find Three Wise Men in the Scottish Parliament Buildings.
A search for a Virgin continues. As for the shepherds :shrug: Although there are plenty of sheep skulking around outside.

There was, however, NO problem finding enough asses to fill the stable!

Merry Christmas folks lol

[maggiebee]

Touche royfromaus, love it. We're not precious up here. Merry Christmas.

[anneasquith]

Great post Roy. You are so funny :-)

[Prudie]

anne as you've chosen to pick as usual perhaps you don't understand?
old hat - means I've heard it multiple times before, redesigned to various groups, probably over the last 20 or 30 years
puerile - means childish (comes from the Latin for boy) which it is

Furthermore if I'd have posted this in CB about the Scots everyone would be aghast at my unpleasantness.
Suppose I'd posted it about the Govt in Zimbabwe or Jamaica? Equally amusing to everyone?

[anneasquith]

Ok prudie .

[maggiebee]

anneasquith, Prudie has mislaid her humour gene, let's help her search for it.

//We're not precious up here//

Is that the same as saying 'not worth a carat'?
