Random thoughts

[Big Unc]

in my head on a loop it seems to be ' I'm a pink toothbrush' etc way before my time and I don't even know the words properly.
Very random but there you go

You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush
Have we met somewhere before?
You're a pink toothbrush and I think toothbrush
That we met by the bathroom door.

Glad to meet toothbrush, such a sweet toothbrush
How you thrill me through and through
Dont be hard toothbrush on a soft toothbrush
'Cause I cant help loving you.

Every time I hear you whistle...... it makes my nylon bristle.......

You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush
Won't you marry me in haste?
I'll be true toothbrush, just to you toothbrush
When we both use the same toothpaste

Max Bygraves, Minxie Early 60s i think.

Max Bygraves correct but produced 1954 on a 78rpm. Maybe the later (much) version by The Smurfs?

And it was actually, "You're a Pink Toothbrush, I'm a Blue Toothbrush"

Right again UNC, just shows how the years can merge if you're not careful :-[

??? Can anyone please explain why, shirts and sweaters turn themselves inside out in the washer or dryer?? Why socks have to hide in the duvet if you wash them together?? >

I know what you mean Dick.I once went to the trouble of buttoning up my duvet before putting it in the dryer and still a sock and a facecloth ended up inside ;D

I have discovered that if the sheet and pillow cases end up in the duvet cover when you have finished the wash, if you put the whole bundle into the dryer, they fly out again. Trust me I am a lazy old lady.

Will have to try that Sue

 

[Rhi]

Going to give that a go tomorrow, Sue!

 

[dick]

My dryer tricked me! The duvet came out dry, with a towel inside rolled in a ball, still quite wet!! :'( Whats that about then?

 

[Rhi]

Oooh, you've got a wicked dryer there, Dick!

 

[gremlin]

we tried and got the same result as dick...ah well

Ah, Well, sorry about that Dick. It always works for me though.

Speaking of songs, does anyone remember singing a song that starts out, "Oranges and lemons says the Bells of St. Clemens. You owe me five farthings says the Bells of St. Martins..."?

Speaking of songs, does anyone remember singing a song that starts out, "Oranges and lemons says the Bells of St. Clemens. You owe me five farthings says the Bells of St. Martins..."?

Indeed, brought up with it. Old nursery rhyme about bells of London City churches:

Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of St. Clement's.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St. Martin's.

When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.

When I grow rich,
Say the bells of Shoreditch.

When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.

I do not know,
Says the great bell of Bow.

Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!

Very good examples of assonance there in that rhyme - farthings and St Martins

There again I liked the definition of assonance in the Educating Rita film - getting the rhyme wrong!
