If you don't clean it you may find that it 'smokes' and begins to smell acrid. But don't become anal about cleaning it, I mean, heaven forbid you turn into Anthea Oil Burner

yes I thought that was a bit of a thread killer.
I blame it on all of you, now have the entire contents of "come andPraise" or whatever's it's called buzzing round my head.

Kum-ba-ya my Lord, Kum-ba-ya,
Kum-ba-ya, my Lord, Kum-ba-ya,
Kum-ba-ya, my Lord, Kum-ba-ya,
Oh Lord, Kum-ba-ya.

When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old
He was gallant and brave
He was valliant and bold
With a shield on his arm
and a lance in his hand
He rode through the land
da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaa

Or, as sung by ds1 (at 5) to smirking dogwalkers in Highgate Woods:
Who's the king of the jungle? oo ah
Who's the king of the sea? bubble bubble bubble
Who's the king of the universe?
And who's the king of me?
I'll tell you...
J E S U S is
He's the king of me
He's the king of the universe, the jungle and the sea
Bubble, bubble,bubble, oo AHHHHHH!

When my brother was getting married they had a meeting with the Vicar and he asked them if there were any hymns they liked. Db said his favourite at school had always been "When a Knight Won His Spurs.." and the Vicar started laughing and said "er...not altogether appropriate for a wedding."

I always liked He Who Would Valiant Be...we always used to sing "to be a pilchard..." (it's funny, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I can remember loads of hymns word-for-word)

cod · 09/03/2006 18:26

yes dad says a lot of poeple cosse primarys chool hymns for wedings

I like the old hymns the best. Can't be doing with all that hippy 70s nonsense - the ink is black, the page is white and - sorry niceglasses - love is like a magic penny.

harpsichordcarrier · 09/03/2006 18:27

we used to sing "to be a pilbrain" - 70s insult
I was just thinking that SL
no wonde rI can't remember anything
my brain is full of all these flipping hymns
AND i am going to hell

SorenLorensen · 09/03/2006 18:28

I've just asked ds1 what they sing at school in assembly...

He's got the Whole World in His Hands

(more hippy nonsense)
