GO DUCKS!

Ah - Greg - quit now while you're ahead. Or it will be shown how Wallabies eat all black Kiwis - for breakfast - in a certain little competition being held here next month. :-))

At least WE can talk a language we understand. Do you know the ditty that starts "The sexual life of a camel..." and other songs that go with The Game They Play In Heaven?

Oggie oggie oggie!!!!!!!

Something to do with the Sphinx and the Sands of the Nile :-)

Jim.

. . . which accounts for the hump on the camel, and the Sphinx's mysterious smile.

LOL - I'm not a football fan so I probably won't even notice when the All Blacks wipe the floor with the Wallabies. (I assume that's your football team.)

My definition of heaven is a place where there is sport, least of all neckless thugby players frotting each other on a muddy paddock.

All the best,

Mark.

Oh, Mark. I admire you for your interests in 19 class locomotives and other pure things NSWGR-related. I can but hope that, given time, you will see that rugby complements, not confronts, life. It is a way of life, not a game. :)

"Frotting"???? Now that's a word that should have been invented, just for the sound of it. I'll use it myself, if that's OK with you. I'll send royalty payments to snipped-for-privacy@yougottabekidding.com, yes?

:)

Cheers

My version - learnt at great cost to my liver - had "inscrutable smile", but yes, something like that. Of course, the real test comes with the verse starting "The sexual life of the ostrich". Now that one test the real dru...er, afficianado.

As a clue, it ends "Or doesn't he bloody well care?"

Ah, all this talk of Rugby. I feel like seeing if I can find my boots and strapping them on again for a Golden Oldies tournament - but alas, my wife disposed of them with an air of finality about 25 years ago...

Boat race, anybody??

Steve

As a Scot, I hate to suggest this, but aren't the POMs gong to beat you both :-)

Jim.

I can see the attraction of "inscrutable" . . .

Did your version have the verse:

The enlisted men ride in a motorboat. The admiral rides in a barge. It don't go a damn sight faster, But it makes the old bugger feel large.

I'm afraid I don't remember or have forgotten the ostrich verse. Could you send it by eMail?

Sounds a bit dirty, and not mud.

Without thugby, all the louts would be congregating at the model shops, passing locos back and forth, and making mad dashes towards the counter - better to give them muddy paddocks and to slaughter the odd pig for it's bladder!

They have a team?

Regards, Greg.P.

OK Guys you have all but run my original post a muck. Please change the subject if you want to continue with your gutter thoughts.

Doh!

Even my 3 year old know that! I guess I'll have to watch his Thomas tapes with him again, and this time pay more attention.

Larry, rest assured, this is Rugby we are talking about. The ditties mentioned are indivisible from the enjoyment of the sport at the bar, after a game.

Get your mind out of the gutter, and put it down here in the sewer, with mine. :)

Convincing me of this would be an uphill, and rather unrewarding, task. :-)

Speaking of 19s, as you may gather I did not make it to Broadmeadow, so we'll have to arrange another means of getting that CD to you. Are you going to Liverpool?

Derived from the word 'frottage'.

All the best,

Mark.

That's what I feared. Well, not feared, because I never intend to put myself in way of that harm, but it's what I suspected.

Railroad content: Frottage is apparently considered a problem on commuter trains in Japan.
