It is a sort of reworking of camoflage net, but it is a new poem, called 'I can't find my invisibility cloak' and is the latest book, 'Boogie woogie beagle boy from Company B', by the great Mr Les (Why aren't I Poet Laureate) Barker.

I read it in the Bull on Sunday lunchtime, when we were told off for singing.

We weren't singing: we just couldn't find our camouflaged etiquette.

Still no takers for the other raffle tickets.... I'm 5 prizes up (one of them a Bert Hansell CD) and the rest all drinkable or eatable, and I didn't even buy a ticket!

I see that my comments are mean and uncalled for, yet GUEST can post on regardless... Hmmm.... something a bit off there, don't you think? I leave you to think about that one.

ahh. Gareth no problem.. Or rather Dim problem...

By the way did anyone else try that cider in the fox and hounds (the cloudy stuff).

Well, it had me bouncing off the wall after one (descretely though - I managed to mask the fact I was almost half gone) but did you see what the stuff did to the tables?

Within less than one minute of putting down the cider glass, it stained the table white as some cider had tipped out.... OH DEAR!

Dai, (and everyones else involved in organising the weekend), thanks for a great one. It must have been good - I lost my voice in the Bull on Sunday lunchtime and haven't got it back yet!(If anyone finds it I need it for this weekend).

Yes...Dave Bryant is right..I did write the final verse, but Dave's memory is a little shaky to the words. That listed doesn't scan! I wrote it 'coz the song didn't seem to have an ending. The verse is..

All of a sudden in the firemen rushed
And they saved us one by one!
But when they came to save the beer,
They found it had all gone!
And in the daily press next day
They solomly* did say
That they could not save the beer
'coz it had boiled away!

(Spoken) But we know better don't we!

Final chorus

*Doesn't look as if it's spelled right does it!

Best wishes,

Pete
