Question (no Royal content)

Post by Julian Mince » Fri Apr 16, 2021 10:55 am

I've just eaten two thirds of a bar of Fruit and Nut. Should I carry on or save the remaining third for later?
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.

Scoff the lot Jules...
I dream of finally being able to eat a choccy bar.
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Chocolate goes off shortly after being opened, it should always be eaten immediately.

And that bit of sticky tape you get on the "sharing" bags of Maltesers?
Apparently designed to keep them fresh if you don't eat the bag in one sitting - what's that all about?

Exactly the same applies to wine..

If the last year (and the untimely death of young Phillip) has taught us anything, it's that we should seize the day.
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

Or the remainder of the chocolate bar in fact.

You really are so very wise Piggy. Has anyone mentioned that before?

<sigh!> no.
The words 'wanker' and 'pansy' are thrown around, but rarely 'wise'.

Carpe diem as Roman poet Horace once wrote. See I do retain at least a little of the knowledge on display in University Challenge.

Arpee is indeed wise beyond his young age.

Who on Earth would call you, of all people, a "wanker"?

I feel there may be a subtle cryptic clue in that statement Arpee, I'll have have a good long think about it🤔

I've read Piggy's response several times now, and I'm buggered if i can make any sense of it.

It is a common thing for the best oracles such as Piggy to spout what others would call 'cryptic bollocks'.
I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.
