Now when I was younger, a whole lot younger, my brother and I used to walk a quarter of a mile out our winding driveway to where the school bus would pick us up and deliver us to where we could be civilized. About halfway down the driveway was a winding stone bridge, built by giants with boulders, so my brother said, and underneath was where the trolls lived and lurked. Well, I never saw a sign of the trolls but I now have a very clear image of what a troll bridge looks like.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

That's a pretty inviting Bridge, Peace, but we ogres stick with caves. And you know what lives in caves don't you? Cave women!

I thought Banoffee Pie was like Cottage Pie, only made with German train stations instead of cottages!

rubbish
c.1400, from Anglo-Fr. rubouses (1392), of unknown origin. Apparently somehow related to rubble. The verb sense of "disparage, criticize harshly" is first attested 1953 in Australian and New Zealand slang.

Never thought of Oscar the Grouch as French.

"stuff that is found (e.g. in a skip/dumpster) & resold"

Much as Ralph Peer (or his heirs and assigns) found and resells a good deal of AFM repertoire.

\Frub"ish\, v. t. [See Furbish.] To rub up: to furbish. [Obs.]
Thus to rub, to polish up for reuse or sale. Frubish is stuff that is found (e.g. in a skip/dumpster) & resold!
Something I do nearly everyday!

Thank you so much, Giok. Now I can include it in my set list when I headline the Awards Show. Unless Ralph Peer owns the copyright?

Enough of this thread drift. Please help me. I'm trying to remember a song my mother used to sing at potty-training time, something about a man with a hat and the words "doo dah" or, given the context, it might have been "poo poo".

As a staunch advocate of affirmative action programmes aimed at promoting gay marriage in the illegal immigrant community, it is my firm belief that if there were a God, which there isn't, not even Thor, then He would hate English concertinas because they are rubbish.
