Soon Big

soon Ben will no longer Bong out across
this one United Kingdom..
Many Patriots of our glorious nation are
fearful the silencing of our nations
Bongs heralds the end of our national
life  .

with brexit stalled under the strains of
reality and the Nats once again preparing
to storm the gates of our nation.

I give you our one Flag under one queeen
to gaze upon and aid you to calm down and
think of this United Kingdom
one Kingdom eternal under God.




I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

  1. Shelley showed even the greatest men and the empires they forge are impermanent, their legacies fated to decay into oblivion. The sun *is* setting Niko.

    2. Shelley is happy enough with her grooming parlour in Montrose. She'd like to have a shop in Forfar or Arbroath but she isn't interested in building an empire.

    3. I am anxious to acquire a Hawaiian Milk Table and am prepared to spend a substantial amount to obtain it. Please contact me with details and price. If possible attach a photographic image. Thank you.

    5. You are sadly predictable, D1212mnf. Personally, I would love to MEET Perry Como. I'm a rugged individualist. Not French.

  2. Veltrims reporting. Binfield has been introduced to the new neighbours. Sounder and Miff is what they call themselves. Well, I won't be calling them that. None of us can stand nicknames here and Binfield 's face was like thunder when she told me. I xant see how they could fit in to our welcoming little community and I hope we can get them to move out soon.

    1. You could try anonymous phonecalls and unsettling letters and postcards. I would go for the postcards because the postman will read them and pass on the details to neighbours. That's how we got rid of the Kemps in under 4 months.

    4. I would love to dance on a luxury rooftop terrace in Sardinia with Ann Diamond. The orchestra would be playing Quando Quando Quando. Ann would throw her head back in laughter as I made a sophisticated and witty comment. Gary Barlow might look on I envy at our luxurious dancing.

    5. D1212mnf, you're being tragically predictable yet again. Why an orchestra? (Oooh because it's glamorous. ) Why Quando, Quando, Quando? (Oooh because it's glamorous. ) Why everything about that tedious pist. Leave tge sophistication and glamour to me and people like me and Princess Midleton.

  3. PS. Other people might be on the rooftop terrace enjoying the views with a glass of champagne and a small plate of finger food. Among the guests would be Coleen Rooney, Gatsby from TOWIE, Nadine Dorries, Craig and Sada from Big Brother 1, Adele, Jamie Redknapp and Pish Spice's children.

    1. I tell people ridiculous stories and even though I'm sure most people don't believe me I get away with it. I've just told a couple on the bus about a witch who tried to milk a pig. Yesterday I told the postwoman about a marquis who stole a bishop's garter. If anybody challenges me I tell them they're Slovenizn folktales but they don't because they're worried I might knife them or denounce the. As a shoplifters. My next story is going to be about a ballet dancer who won the Ankara Ballet Festival without entering or taking part.

    2. My legs are quite thin. How do you say that in English!

    3. I'm on the verge of greatness.

  4. There's a strange women writing about the azore islands in the medditararian ocean and she dreams about them islands and the people who visit there but she doesn't like to think about it being haunted in case it makes her scream.
