Ninny the goat, I though he played for Man United:D

It was that, that secured me the position of cabin boy, on the good ship Venus, the following summer.

Well we all know what the figure head and the mast were on that good ship:D

Ours could only do that with coke.

Wasn't all happy toil, in the olden days.

Many would spend a good part of the day bent over double.

Or on their knees.

I knew they had to be off their faces on something. Just the thought of it brings tears to the eye.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Many were just good pals.



Or lost someone in the war.

Like Ted Heath.

Oh no. Not Ted. Don't tell me, no I can't bear it. Mind you, it would explain a lot.

Steady on.

He prefered a suede slip-on, rather than being clod in something stout.

He lost 'someone special' in the war.

Hence being returned to Heaven's sorting office untampered with.

Allegedly.

His only comfort being that he was able to sit in bed, and enjoy viewing the biggest spire in Englandshire.
