Thought about posting Plaistow Patricia but think that might’ve been a bridge too far!

Respect there, Planet. It’s that sort of lateral thinking that feeds innovation and makes us come back for more. I’ve now formed a mental picture of Gerd Muller, the prolific German striker known as ‘Der Bomber’. Now I’m not sure Gerd ever took ‘corners’ as such, which does rather limit further incursions into ‘Muller Corner Jokes’ territory, but might there be an opportunity to explore dessert-related jokes that reference his nickname instead? La Bombe Surprise, for example? Or Bombe Glacée?

It’s entirely possible that I may not have thought this through properly.

No, it’s been temporarily hijacked by the ‘crown jewles’ thread. Normal service expected to resume within a day or two.

In many respects it’s a pity that the Tower of London isn’t situated in the middle of land covered with dense forest and tangled vegetation. Yesterday’s events could then have been referred to as … ‘The Crumble In The Jungle’.

I’m here all week.

Happy to oblige, Tactical. Here’s verse one from ‘Billericay Dickie’ by Ian Dury …

Had a love affair with Nina
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned-up hyena
Could not have been more obscener
She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena

Enough of these cheap innuendos. I think it’s time we moved on to Spotted Dick.

Bucket List / Fck It List
at 21:31 6 Dec 2025

Saw this piece in The Guardian a few years ago about an Italian game called ‘Calcio Storico’. It dates back to the 16th century apparently and has been described as ‘the most brutal sport on earth’. Well, any sport that allows headbutting, punching, tripping, wrestling and choking (a bit like football here in the 1970’s) can’t be a bad thing! Happens annually in Florence by all accounts so would definitely be on my bucket (of blood) list.

Lyrics by Abel Meeropol but generally associated with Billie Holiday. Gets me every time (as does Oscar Brown Jr’s ‘Bid ‘em In’ from his first album ‘Sin & Soul’)

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

Almost anything by Ian Dury …

Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley add nanny goats
18-wheeler Scammells, thumbing out the candles
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats
A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it, yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40, no electric shocks
The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret, anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty
Sitting on the potty, curing small pox
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Reasons to be cheerful
One, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, part three
Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
Round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to Paris
Lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
Balabalabala and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey
John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

Should be the Piss Prize if the rumours are correct (cue $1bn lawsuit).
