Right

Cloggies: we all wore blue dirndl skirts (why? We weren't in Munich but in 1980s Ilfracombe) and dance about to the tune of an accordion. It was rather dull and I didn't like the girls who did it so I left for

The Corps of Drums and the Glockenspiel. Military marching band - we did that thing where you march in funny shapes. I had a HELMET and a JACKET and a big brand new silver glockenspiel. There was a great big bloke who shouted BY THE LEFT QUICK MARCH really loudly. We performed on Ilfracombe pier every Wednesday to thrill the tourists (I can still see their little faces of despair now).

Cerne Abbas Giant - I just wondered if anyone has ever climbed up there and sat on it. Where is he anyway? Where is Cerne Abbas.

We could kneel on pencils.

My Mum is due round any minute Bupcakes. I will probably have to miss Doctors. Sad

For gettorf and tantrums

I google news searched it having seen the billboard this morning, but it's relevant:

Racist Morris Dancers

oh it's him. I thought he was a statue. Blush

An example of something both offensive, but actually funny (showing up dude as a complete moron).

much despised Colleague earlier "Yeah, I was looking at the most wanted list, and 99% of them were not anglophile"

Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm

But amusing, because here I am picturing the most wanted list POPULATED with people who don't like Downton Abbey and Cream Teas. But I'm still seriously offended.

Absy · 06/11/2012 13:41

I totally forgot the GetOrf was a Morris Dancer.

EchoBitch · 06/11/2012 13:41

Cerne Abbas is in deepest Dorset,i have seen him from the car,too lazy to walk up him Hmm and already had three DC and DP had had the snip so pointless walk.

Sparklingbrook · 06/11/2012 13:41

I was thinking of the Blarney Stone.

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 06/11/2012 13:41

He is in Dorset apparently.

HolyAutumnGoldBatman · 06/11/2012 13:42

Can we also ban questions? and comments? They offend as well. Anything along the lines 'I'm upset because my DS fell over and banged his head', some children fall over and die and it's really insensitive to worry about a child who just has a bump. Also people are worrying about what colour wellies to buy and children in Iraq don't even have wellies.

I move that all questions, lighthearted comments and jokes be banned.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 06/11/2012 13:43

There is no such thing as light hearted comments.

SelfRighteousPrissyPants · 06/11/2012 13:43

Ooh I've seen the cloggies (I think- at Rothbury and Morpeth maybe?) and the Cerne Abbas giant- he is in Wiltshire or near there. Not sat on his willy though Sad I have slept in west kennet longbarrow though.

Don't say offensive things. Simple.
