A Bit Of Light Relief
29 Answers
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?
