Tea? (Part 1)

[Chuffy]

Tea. Lots of tea. And a bagel.

EU Womble Nakedness Guidelines - Vol III
Appendix IV Para II

A womble shall be deemed to be naked if the total exposure of fur is equal to or greater than 85% of body surface. Hats, pillbox, shawls and small round spectacles shall all be deemed to cover a proportion of the womble.

EU Womble Stroking Guidelines - Vol IV
Appendix I - Public Acts Para III

Should the act of stroking the womble cause the manipulating extremity of the strokee to touch, fondle or caress any of the womble's erogenous zones, leading to excitement, flushing of the ears and crinkling of the nose it is likely that the strokee may be liable for prosecution under the Indecent Frotting Act of 1964 qf Regina vs Beresford. However, since detailed research has failed to locate any such erogenous zone on a womble, not even on Madam Cholet and god knows I tried, it is impossible for such an offence to be deemed to have taken place.

I believe, that a lot of Womble legislation was later worked into the 1981 Flump act, which of course was monitored and updated by the Flavoured Milkshake Committee led by some political Bod.

When I was little, everything was so ordered and routine and so on that as far as I was concerned, 'anarchy' was when Alberto asked for a flavour of milkshake that WASN'T one of the ones that had been guessed at by the animal band. That really is true, I'm afraid.

Glad you found the legislation Chuffy. Needs to go up alongside the Tea Protocol Tom produced for a dig one summer, to help those of non-British extraction understand how to make a decent cuppa. He even included a Munsell colour number range (usually used to describe soil colours) for a correct strength brew...

*Arch wonders if she has a copy of it*

Not sure if they're Munsell approved, but I reckon they'll do the job!

He lent me these last night, so I would not get cold. (Perhaps he should have lent them to Arch). I thought he came home with me, but he escaped, perhaps he finds if diificult to live at the top of a hill, after spending so much time underground or in cupboards.

I watched a programme last night that may well appeal to the sense of humour of certain citizens of Tea? Its called "The Big Bang Theory", and was on Channel four at 10pm, but it is repeated at 11.25pm on Friday.
It is about four frieds who know more about physics etc, than they do about relating to others, especially women. Very, very funny I thought, you might like to try it.

Sounds like another great example of the inventive genius himself, if you have a copy we would love to have it on display @ tdr1nka towers to go along the infamous beverage request and preference chart which includes my 'builders tea, one sugar' and Budda's 'one with everything'.

That is an inspired idea. I'm assuming the Munsell range chart is like the calibrated coloured squares you get with universal indicator paper?

The womble legislation appears to read as though the person doing the stroking is the strokee, whereas they'd actually be the stroker.
The womble itself is the strokee - i.e. the party being stroked.

yeah, pretty much - a series of numbered shades of the colour brown basically. I know one member of staff once used it to describe the un-named luncheon meat in the sandwiches provided by the diggers' accommodation.

Tdr1nka, I'll see if I can get hold of a copy - I'm sure someone has one... It was written before either of us had a PC, so it may in paper form only. I can scan it if I get hold of it.

Doctor, have you been sniffing the marmalade pot again?????

Doctor, have you been sniffing the marmalade pot again?????

Is that some kind of bizarre euphemism? I think it's the after effects of the beer from last night. Either that or the milk's gone off. Maybe I should be drinking black tea for the rest of the day.

I've just been looking at the Bonj love-in thread elsewhere in this parish. He's not gonna know what's hit him.

[Landslide]

Why bother with the pseudonym?

 

[TheDoctor]

I wouldn't want it to look like blatant attention-seeking, although it's probably a bit late for that.

I started work at 10:00 today, instead of the usual 08:30. The lie-in was nice, but being here till 18:00 rather than doing the Vincent in 16 mins is starting to be a concern.

 

[Landslide]

doing the Vincent

???

That's a new one on me. I just tell my colleagues I can't be a*sed and head off home...
