Title: Let's not make Techno a liar
Post by: fsn on 15 September 2015, 05:30:07 PM
It's a long drive from Liverpool, and I fell to thinking. Techno has on his profile "Techno....Most picked on member of the form since 2011" (I think he means "forum") and recently he seems to have been unscathed by any sideways comments recently.

In defence of a man whom I have come to regard as a friend I feel it behooves us (the nails for lack of which the Pendraken horse is lost) to prevent Techno from unwittingly becoming a liar due to our lack of effort.

Thus, I spent the time trying to construct some appropriate ditties to celebrate our favourite putty pusher. They're not great, but please feel free to add your own.


A fellow I know name of Phil,
had a small part in the Bill,
The waitress wasn't impressed.


"Do you sail?" I asked salty old Techno,
with a tear in his eye, he said "heck, no".
"I have managed to learn,
the bow from the stern.
I completely misused the poop-deck though."

An old putty-pusher called Phil
said "it would give me a thrill
to make some top totty -
big boobs and round botty.
It would certainly take all my skill."


A long suffering A&E nurse,
said "Techno, it could have been worse.
Your mother in law
has broken your jaw
but you shouldn't have stolen her purse."

P.S. - Phil is WELSH, nothing more is needed, not even the Welsh like the Welsh, and they lack the charming arrogance of Yokies.

A haiku in his defence:

Techno
By Will Denham 41 11/12

A putty pusher
Figure sculpting genius
Unfairly bullied!

A Yokie?

I had to look that one up.

Are you saying you prefer a yokie to our Phil? 

...... right enough. You might have a point there .....  :-\

I've just been picking my daughter up and composed this Haiku on the way back.


Tired peering eyes.
A whisper of fresh bright steel.
Many scarlet drops.

There was a young man from Pembroke
Whose vision was slightly crook.
He sculpted his glass
Now it's first class
And passes quality control

A) It's MILK Chocolate
B) It contains enough sugar to kill an ox.

And it's named after that county. Bear in mind that it always rains when I go to Wales, but IT SNOWS if I go to Yorkshire.

A method that right seldom fails
To get serious threads off the rails
Is to rev up the juice
And pile loads of abuse
On the head of a sculptor in Wales.

An old oik from Runcorn named Nobby,
Decided to look in his lobby,
For some tanks he'd mislaid,
From the last time he played,
But his search just revealed a cat jobbie.

Alfred Lord Tennyson, eat your heart out !

I don't know about eating his heart out, but he'd probably blow his brains out.

You do get the prize for "best use of the word 'jobbie' in a limerick, 2015". I shall try and regain my title next year.

FECTH?

Is that Welsh?

or is it "Find Every Conceivable Techno Hazard"?

Oh no! It's the Fecth of the month! Tomorrow it's the Absurd.

Na. It's another dig at Runcorn. Princess Cambridge Nice Lady told husband At-least-he-looks-a-bit-like-his-father she was coming to Runcorn. He gave her some millinary advice. "Wear the Fecth Hat". Well, she thinks that what he said.

Don't know what I was thinking, LH.  I can only think it was a combination of feeling dopey dopier than usual after my flu jab yesterday and recently installing new light switches, light fittings and sockets throughout my mother-in-law's old house which is wired with Red, Black and Green.  8-}

I have been told it doesn't matter it which way the live and neutral go round, it just means the fuse is on the wrong side if the appliance (it blows AFTER your expensive stereo).  Not brave/stupid enough to try this myself though!

Mrs T doesn't know where that particular switch is. I think she's got a vague idea where the circuit breakers are,  but she doesn't know which ones control which circuits........And she won't go anywhere near the fuses in the big barn.
(She's not tall enough to reach any of them, anyway.... ;D ;D)
