We’re getting a bit seasonal with this week’s selection… it’s in the high twenties outside, not a hint of rain for the last ten days, lazy relaxation the order of the day… so it has to be Mangoes for the weekend cup tie at West Ham.
What do you mean, it’s not sunny where you are? Do you think I care? After all the nonsense I’ve sat through this season, the boys wait until I’m in another continent to serve up another win…
I want to see pics of 2000 Mangoes in the away end, or I’ll want to know the reason why…
Hey, Rowson! Get aht of it! I was just in the process of writing this….
“Fuelled by local and national media coverage, the five-a-day bandwagon rolls into East London on Saturday…and it’s certainly not too late to jump aboard and join the fun. Almost inevitably, the trip to Cockney World means that the fruit ‘n’ veg of choice will be apples and pears. Both, please, not one or the other. Extra points for buying them from Martin Fowler’s market stall.”
It’s always the same, isn’t it? A bit of fame and fortune, everything seems set fair…and then musical differences rear their ugly head. Mangoes, my backside….
So which is it then?
What’s “mangoes” rhyming slang for anyway? Car?
man goes into a bar - car…. I’ll get me porridge…
Fight, Fight, Fight ! Come on kids, gather round before teacher gets here….
It’s quite clear, I think. Any one of the following is acceptable:
1. A mango. If you must.
2. An apple and a pear. Both, not just one of them.
3. A mango, an apple and a pear, if you want to hedge your bets.
4. A tasty fruit salad containing all of the items in #3, perhaps with some kiwi fruit if you’re feeling a bit la-di-da.
5. Please note that Rule #5 does not apply on this occasion.
Hope that helps.
Isn’t the final line of the nursey line Oranges & Lemons something to do with Bow Bells? That would have apt too. Though Oranges and Lemons have both been done before.
Scene from the BHaPPY members Xmas party:
Matt R: I would like the Roast Turkey please, madam
Waitress: And the vegetables?
ig: Yes, they’ll have the same..
(…well, someone had to say it!)
Esp (still euphoric after Tuesday night at the Vic)
Surely the Mango should be left until ManUre?
Sorry but fruit is now passe 9as opposed to presse)
Anyone know if there’s a sell on for Lee Cook - £4 million????
And the Dan Quayle award for spelling goes to everyone who wrote Mangoes rather than Mangos.
God, to think we have to go through all this again in two weeks time.
Disappointed our turnip pic didn’t make the site, did you get it or were you just overwhelmed with offers?
