Serious doubts, forget the scaffolding is he? devout?
There seems to have been a stampede, to the house of Dreams.
I wander the streets
And the gay crowded places
Trying to forget you
But somehow it seems
That my thoughts ever stray
To our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the island of dreams
the SPRINGFIELDS
Play me Old King Cole
That I may join with you
All your hearts now seem so far from me
It hardly seems to matter now
And the nurse will tell you lies
Of a Kingdom beyond the skies
But I am lost within this half-world
It hardly seems to matter now
Genesis
I was only going by what Doctor Foreman (Dr Who?) said on one of his Saturday tea-time technical TV lectures.
There was other interesting information like how to deal with Daleks and Cybermen (but not Cyberwimmins) and Chumlies were on our side and allsorts of other cool stuff.
You are a wizard on lyrics Spotty
BTW. where does it appear in Genesis, I’ve read every chapter & can’t find it.
Maybe it’s in the book of Job RJ.
I had to go to the doctor this morning, hadn’t seen him in over three years, didn’t want to see him either, he’s an ugly old git. I had an email from him last week asking me to go and have a blood test so I went along and had it.
Seems they get upset if you don’t visit them regularly, especially when your old.
The way I’ve always looked at it is you go to see the doctor when you don’t feel well, why bother them when your well? look at all the money I’m saving the department of health by feeling fine, there’s just no pleasing them, surely the goal of all doctors is to have no patients at all, then they could boost they have cured them all, one can’t be a more successful doctor than that can one? 
Unfortunately things ain’t that simple, there’s always the money aspect of the job.
Now I have to wait till next week for the results. Yes it’s a doctors duty to give you something to worry about, after all we can’t have folks going around happy and carefree can we, bad for business.
Just to let you fellow scribblers know, Gumbuds internet is down and could take a few weeks to set right again, hang in there Gummy and get back as soon as ya can.
Of course it could be an excuse for him to hop off for a holiday with the quare one from the hardware store, wouldn’t put it past the randy old bugger.
Oh dear, how annoying for him.
He better make up for it, when he returns;-)
I hope he is back for the Candy Bar cruise, he would hate to miss that he told me so.
Gummy is in his forth day of forty, in the desert.
Is that written in stone?
No, it was written on the Tablet.:surprised:
Very witty Mr Spitty:lol:
Ah,I remember that story,spitfire!
yes - Moses was busy building a large boat out of trees he had no idea what to do with,when his mate Noah stopped by. Moses made the excuse of having to go see his doctor and asked if Noah would mind just ‘doing a few bits’ until he got back. Now,Moses’ doctor had his office on a steep hill named Mount Sinus,as he was an ENT specialist. Moses made his way up to the appointments area,where he was greeted by a disembodied voice arriving via tannoy,telling him to take and distribute the large stone tablets,which contained ALL FIFTY commandments regarding proper use. Now,Moses was getting on a bit,so wasn’t too nimble. On the way back down Mount Sinus,he tripped on a sharp stone,which caused him to drop the tablets he was carrying. To say they suffered a bit from the sudden and unexpected interface with the ground would be understating it - but anyway,Moses picked up the remaining undamaged tablets and continued down to the watching crowd [coz even in those days,doctors waiting rooms were invariably crowded]…where he explained about the TEN [!!!] commandments he had been given by that eerie voice,regarding the tablets and how important it was to follow those ten commandments religiously. Right -
Meanwhile,whilst all this kerfuffle was going on,Noah had finished building the big boat-and had decided to try it out. On finding he was constantly bumping into the shore,he threw a walkway over the side and nipped down it to install a rudder,as Mrs Noah was giving him earache because she was cooking tea and the constant bumping into things meant the gravy had spilt all over the floor.BUT-several amimals noticed the smell of that gravy and nipped up the walkway,while Noah was busy whacking his thumb with a hammer and inventing expletives as he invented the rudder. On finishing,he climbed back aboard,went straight to the stern deck to try out his new steering device…and had NO idea loads of animals had sneaked aboard to lick his gravy! …and THAT,m’lud,is the troof,the whole troof…and so on…
I may need to quote more Genesis.
No, let’s play some instead.
Good Idea, back in abit.
And all the people said Amen, whoa oh
And all the people said Amen
Give thanks to the Lord for His love never ends
And the people said Amen
Matt Mayer
“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, “Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!” Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.” But the wise answered, saying, “What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.” While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, “Lord, Lord, open to us.” But he answered, “Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.” Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming”
— Matthew 25:1-13
That’s one of my favourite bible stories, I love the true message in it “If you keep a well trimmed wick and stay well oiled, you won’t miss the party and your lamps won’t go out”
hello playmates - I got early release - phew didn’t want to miss the cruise as sweetie pie mentioned - and I didn’t fancy 40 more days in the wilderness it gets a bit wild out there and old JC keeps chuckin rocks down at ya from the mountain top and shouting “I will be released”
I have read all your posts most diligently and am reminded of the song or line “please don’t talk about me while I’m gone” and I think apart from the odd slip or two that was achieved - just shows you mind how much your friends if you have any think about you when you’re gone!!
I did hear someone mentioned Miss Bottom but in rather unkind tones but we’ll let that pass for the moment.
dear lonely hearts
However her manager who aids our clandestine/pubic coffee sessions is leaving in two weeks [ aghast aghast] - we are not allowed to meet alone you see - well not for longer than a few seconds. But I did ask her in one fleeting moment " what is to happen to us two - how can we continue or tete et tetes with a unknown new manager - she blushed -hung her head and said ’ I honestly don’t know’ she even refuses to call me ‘gumpy bumps’ in public and insists on calling me Mr Gumbud! Is it perhaps time to consider making a run for our money and eloping with the antelopes or just staying cross with the cross saws or maybe breaking it all off at the sapling?
I have included a self addressed envelope with stamp - I do hope I have spelt your address correctly on the self-addressed envelope??
