Invokes wonderful memories of when we knew our place in life and things were…so normal Jem. (mind you my mum would have leathered me twice over if she knew half of what I got up too)
Thank you Gumbud, Pugs, Spitty, Robert and your good self Jem for continuing to keep this scribbler reader very much entertained
Great to hear from you again Solo, and thank you for your very kind words.;-)
Solo is a long standing member Sweetie, a lovely lady who has contributed to scribbles several times over the years.
I’m up to me neck with builders pouncing in and out the house all day, dust all over the place, tripping over bits of wood and buckets of plaster…and yerman want’s youtube videos!!!
I never understood GO GO girls they never went anywhere.
Pans People I think I know of them.
What about Bunny Girls?
I actually know one, she retired to Bournemouth. She is still a beauty for her age.
The Gummy fella want’s me to go through that brain numbing process of up loading youtube videos again, you have to be in the right mood to try that and I’m too tired right now, probably take me a while to get over the mess here in the house.
Bunny girls, weren’t they hostesses in the Playboy clubs?
No Playboy clubs over here when I was younger so all I know about a Bunny girl is she wore a one piece swimsuit with two big ears on her head and a white ball on her bum, I believe the ball was in fact the nut end of a bolt and if you turned it anticlockwise it would screw out and her arse would fall off, well so a fella from Belfast was telling me.
loved Boney M too, that’s what we called me younger brother Mark, he was tall and hadn’t a pick on him, he never did get the brown girl in the ring he was chasing, she ran off to Hong Kong with a yellow man from the square, Parnell Square that is.
True Gummy, one can’t have a pee now without the app, one old lad up in the local has one of those bags attached to him, when it needs emptying his phone gives three short bleeps, all done through an app on the phone and something at the side of the bag, but you can’t beat the fart, the natural warning app for number two, one short blast is sufficient.
I went to the downstairs loo, my daughter went into the kitchen and said “It stinks down here” I said, at least you knew what to expect, I’ve just answered the front door to a courier.
Ah yes capsules, we heard a lot about them during the late 50’s and 60’s when the space program was in full swing, the sputnik was the first of them to go up, although it was round and had spikes coming out of it many called it a space capsule, later came the dog capsule and the manned capsule, by the end of the 60’s the lunar module was king, but they weren’t fooling me, I knew that the lunar module was only a modulated capsule.
There is a relationship here with capsules, pills, and space travel, there are some folks today who take certain pills to travel into space, stay there for a few hours then come back again, suffering little more than a severe headache. The smart scientists know that the future of mans travels into distant space can only be achieved by sending the mind there.
I know an old hermit who lives in the Kerry mountains, brews a fine brew, and if you want to reach the stars he’s the man to see, mention my name and you’ll get a good bottle.
‘Suile’ pronounced Sule, is the Irish word for ‘Eye’ and ‘anhain’ means ‘one’
“The old Gaelic name used by the Sullivan family in Ireland was O Suileabhain, which is partially derived from the word “suil,” which means “eye.”
So if your are a Sullivan or O’Sullivan you are descended from a one eyed ancient tribe, what were they called, Cyclops?
Here is the original chap, Adam O’Sullivan. https://s26.postimg.org/feic264ft/Polyphemus.png
I lost my heart to a one eyed cutie
She lost it while doing her duty
Fed up with numerous courses
She singed up with the armed forces
Yes I remember fondly my dear Anna Lee
Who always kept an eye out for me.
Coming in here is like having a breath of fresh air folks,
Those readers of a comedic bent will immediately recognise the above post as being the punchline of a rambling anecdote concerning an aged and a long retired gents convenience attendant.
The story is too long to reproduce now, perhaps another day, involving as it does 1950s gents loos, cottaging & unrestrained wash & brush ups
