Leisurely Scribbles (part 5) (Part 1)

We have a Daily Echo.:mrgreen:
Good Night John Boy. X

gooooooooooooooooodnight sweet baby Jane [ I’ve changed the words to suit the moment ]

I’m sure Rod Stewart sang Baby Jane. X

well I’m sure he did something with her - have you ever considered why grown male adults refer to their woman as their “baby” or “babe” - bit of psycho goin on here!!

Morning
Whatever happened to Baby Jane?:mrgreen:

I think James Taylor sang " baby James

the sweet baby james is refering to his newly born nephew at the time he wrote the song 1969 and was named after him!!

Well I call my woman baby cos she’s no teeth, honey cos she’s sweaty and sticky, and sugar cos she’s lumpy. (good job she got fed up looking in here ain’t it) :lol::lol:
I have known my missus since she we were children on our street and I have always called her Philly, she calls me Jimmy, she knows I can’t stand “Jim”. None of your “babe” of "baby nonsense.;-):slight_smile:
I used to know a glazier chap named Delaney, he always called his wife “Lady Delaney” even though they were as poor as a church mice, touching don’t you think?:slight_smile:
Well it seems RJ has come to a decision, so be it, we’re all free to come and go as we see fit, and then there were five.

That is a shame about Young Robert.
You Jem are the same as me, in that we met our spouses as children. A whole history is part of our lives, I find that very comforting. When hubby needs a haircut, I call him Dougal, like the dog on the Magic Roundabout. He has only ever called me by my name, or sometimes sweetheart when he wants something.

honey cos she’s sweaty and sticky,

don’t you mean she’s sweet and sticky?? :blush:

One of my favourite actress’s Sweetie, Sweaty Betty, boy she knew her stuff, who can forget that song “I’m sending a letter to Daddy…”
I had to slip up to the Post Office for me pension, something quite magic happens there every Friday, you go in, show the lovely girl behind the counter a card, she puts it in a machine, you sign your name on a plastic screen, then she hands you out 250 smackers in cash! Then she smiles at you and says “See you next week James” God where would you get it? this is a smashing’ little country when the sun is shining and the cash is flowing, God bless the workers, where would we be without them.;-):smiley:

Scribblers don’t come and go, there is always a little piece of them here, lurking in the Crib.:lol:

Famous Jane’s - I’m sticking with a theme today.

Literature
Jane Austen (1775–1817), British novelist, known for Emma and Pride and Prejudice.
Jane Louise Curry (born 1932), American writer.
Jane Lindskold (born 1962), American author.

Merge the themes, Skating and Jane’s

Jayne Torvill (born 1957)

RJ come back immediately all is forgiven - the tone is dropping!!

As Sir Francis Drake so famously said,as he observed the enemy approaching…
“Oh,dear; what can armada be?”

[ohhh,shaddaaaap!]

I’ve been stuck here at the ‘Kathleen Winsor’ traffic lights for ages…
WHY so named,you ask? [pleeeeease] Because they’re [wait for iiiiit] FOREVER AMBER!!

Geddit? Eh? Eh? Oh,I can do intelljunt,saimaz the rest of yerz!

Don’t forget Jane Marple and Marilyn’s great rival Jane Russel.:slight_smile:

Well named them traffic lights Pug.
Amber was never a colour I liked, although I think good quality amber beads look terrific on a silver haired lady wearing a white top, gives that rich confident Auntie look, remember Barbara Stawyck in that TV western series of the seventies, forget the name of it now.
I knew a chap who was a timekeeper in Guinness’s Brewery, he was a sort of amber colour, like an underdeveloped suntan, in the local they used to call him the clockwork orange, they called his missus Emma Peel.:slight_smile:
Reminds me of this old song, “The Orange and the Green” it’s a bit of a laugh, he’s a few bars of it.

Once there was an Irishman, a Protestant was he*
My mother was a Catholic, from Kelsey town came she*
They were married in two churches,lived happily enough*
Until the day that I was born then things got rather tough*

CHORUS*
Oh, it was the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen*
My father he was Orange and my mother she was Green. and it goes on and on and on.:smiley:

I am doing Jane still!!!
Jane Fonda
Jane Seymour
Jane Russell
Jane Birkin
Jane Asher

Ooh err
