I could be here as critic,
something parasitic
but last night was paralytic
and now my wrists arthritic
have slowed my brain syphilitic needing a charge electrolytic
or is that too psychoanalytic?
(hic!)
Have you noticed that in the south of the country, over the last couple of decades, the simple word \'no\' has become extended but a taint of Australian accent and now become \'no-ooo\'. It used to be a monosyllable but with the addition of \'ooo\' it has grown another syllable. ...... or is it just me?

Another one which really gets me going is pronouncing garage as garidge - the introduction of the \'d\' is subtle but grrrr

A previous Vicar said \'On no, it\'s not Chewsday, it\'s Toosday\' (for Tuesday\').
Some folk take a mid-word break, saying \'Thirt-teen\' or \'Fort-teen\', with emphasis on the middle \'t\'.
Will Miss Berles allow these things?

Good Sab bath ~ Uncle Mike - Angela here - Thanks for the Pastiche ! Friends of ours have just bought a *Second Home* in the Costwolds can*t wait to see it & stay. Im Olive Skinned & Black Hair (My Papa being Spanish) - BUT - having been born & raised in England ~ I have a *Middle English Class* accent so I have never experienced any Racial Discrimination. Some of the 100% Spanish Nurses in the Hospital do have Spanish Accents like Manuel from Fawlty Towers which differeniates them ! People are singled out for being DIFFERENT ! For US altering Blackpool or Black Pudding or my Beloved *All Blacks* is a *Bridge too far !* Please check our latest FUSION *What are your Christmas Plans ?* and (if you wish) add a Poem !
Blessings & Peace & Prayers for Joanne
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

wait until the Hispanic regions begin their version of \'cancel culture\' self-sanctification, see: at least our vocabulary has dark, tinted, sun-kissed etc
all they got is \'negro\'... \'yikes\', for the poor librarians
PC in of itself is all good, until its being used as a mouthwash to undo all the wrong in peoples mind\'s...
How about we just simplify things, like children (before stubborn pride kicked-in): admit our fault\'s, say our apologies, finding a middle ground to make amends for any and all pain inflicted and then Learn: to not do it again!
maybe then, fellow human beings with darker tints of skin wouldn\'t have their entire value of worth: be reduced to a walking litmus test of other\'s racism levels...
(side note, really like the calm you imbue into your water/paint pictures Michael)

Surely the correct title should be \'pool of mixed race\' - may contain fish (and chips) - definitely contains nuts.

And following Goldie - Miss Berles been discussing the \'price of fish\'? How much is it? \'Quite expensive\' is the answer

The PC army are as bad as the Health and Safety Army where they insist on putting \"May contain nuts\" on a jar of peanuts!
Mind you the strangest one I have seen is at the Morrisons Fish Counter where there is a label in front of each type of fish showing which fish it is and the price and there in small print below is \"May contain fish\" on of these days I am going to insist on some fish without fish in it and see what happens.

wonderful artwork, I spent a few minutes just engrossed in all its little details, reminiscent of so many little town centres or their equivalent nucleus,
then that last stanza, standalone: one of the best I have ever read on MPS!
I appreciate the idyllic scene depicted in the picture and its purpose as representation of the commonly assumed \'ideal\' fruition of our life\'s efforts,
while simultaneously projecting a semblance of peace - a picture of that perfect average we take for granted, until we lose it all - in search of the better tomorrow our ambition\'s promise...
Genius! \'in my humble opinion\'

when reading poets on mps
I note the subjects only fools address
like next door\'s teeth and flatulence
and how the stink travels over our fence
but that\'s a secret i\'d never impart
for i live in fear of one more fart

lmao!
I agree she definitely profited from showcasing the elegant \'sway\' in her assets,
and personally I think she takes one short cut - too many, for me to watch her show for its cookery quality\'s alone,
but credit where it\'s due - she didn\'t have to be a working mother (she married early - to a lot of money) and she always presented a down-to-earth genuine persona and projected herself as a loving mother - a good role model (even if not authentic),
the deep purple in those flowers is captured wonderfully in your picture - are they real flowers?
hope Jeanne is feeling better

Oh lol. fine write and pic M.
Some quirky lines get into comedy shows, such as:
\'Oh, I could never work for someone who wears red trousers\'.
AND: \'Oh, I dunno if can take seriously anyone named Nigella\'. (we don\'t choose our own names at birth!)
One more: \'Oh, I dunno if I could trust a certain person with a dodgy barnet\'.

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Uncle Mike - JEANNE & Yourself are in our Prayers. We had a new Front Door installed when we moved into our New Home and one of Brians jobs is *To polish up the Knocker on the New front Door* ! Men only begin to realise just much us Ladies do ~ when they have to take over. It is estimated as far as HOUSEWORK is concerned its 90% F & 10% M ! Although when Brian was *Home Alone* the % was reversed ~ Like YOU he is a good *House Husband* We are praying the NEWS will be GOOD !
Every BLESSING & Peace to You & Jeanne
