When I was a youngster my parents bought me a pair of braces to hold up my new trousers. Of course these were 'Trousers to grow into' and without such support I would have been running around bare arsed. The braces were blue and had pictures of planets and rockets and, in the box, was a genuine ticket to the Moon.
I know, because it said so.
Somewhere in a landfill site, many many years ago...
Actually, this brings back memories of journeys past.
It was one of a group of songs - 'ten green bottles','one man went to mow, went to mow a meadow', etc - that were invariably sung to while away the time travelling to and from some holiday destination when I was a kid
they don't write songs like this anymore !!!

Speaking of memories of the past, a little bird (troll) tells me it's your birthday today.
ReplyDeleteHope it's a good one !!!
P.S. You any nearer to growing into those trousers ?
ReplyDeleteEr, sorry if I interrupt your flow Duncan, please continue after this break.
ReplyDeleteOK
1) It's a classic
2) Those were the days
3) Yes I'm 54 today.
4) There are a lot of spaces I would still like to fill including my own trousers :)
And then Nobbly sticks his oar in, Cheers mate.
ReplyDelete"she's dead...of course"
ReplyDeleteIt's just a pity that the silly old bint didn't keel over a bit sooner; then we'd all have been spared a few minutes of that shite.
Nobbly, if I ever meet up with you again I will stand on a bar table and sing On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at. Then you will know what real shite is.
ReplyDeleteif we're talking 'shite', I've a mate that always climbs on top of a table and sings this song when he's pissed
