Incidentally - it's actually "Woolloomooloo" (not a word I'd expect anyone outside of Oz to have ready in their vocabulary though

). When I lived in Sydney we used to walk our dogs on Sundays past the Woolloomooloo finger wharf, and then up to the end of Mrs Macquarie's Chair. It's a nice harbourside area.

Okay, now I'm off to walk the dogs and get myself a grilled chicken and camembert burger for dinner.

Hooroo,
Marc

I know, I know .... but I promise you, I'll keep forgeting the proper spelling. It's my lot in life ... brilliant, but can't spell worth a damn, and don't even ASK me to remember a joke!!

Going to have to download these .... so going to have to.

I'll go with rhubarb.

And besides, they make a better crumble than tomatoes.

And on the grounds of my fragile sanity, I think I shall avoid downloading or listening to the sounds. At least until my frog pills kick in.

LazyScot, until your "frog pills" kick in you could always listen to I Ain't Got a Home by Clarance "Frogman" Henry.

What's next? An ode to the Dalai Llama?

You know what would be kinda funny?? Would be if they changed one line to Lama ... and showed a picture of the Dalai Lama .... I'd get a chuckle out of that and he's my hero.

Yeah, then the movie...Hello, Dalai!
I think Robin Williams actually came up with that idea!

And then there's the Ogden Nash poem:

The one-l lama,
He's a priest.
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama.

In a footnote, Nash writes "The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh."

So, you'll be wanting a fedora on that llama, then?

Yes. Oh, yes. Please. Pretty please. Absolutely. Affirmative. Oh, yeah.

Cheers,
Marc (I don't care if she wasn't asking me - I like fedoras, okay?)

Why not a crown of sparkling diamonds, sapphires, emeralds etc....

Maybe it could be fitted round the fedora?
