Pair Of Pensioners May Be Punters, But They're Not Prudes! -- A pair of Norwegian pensioners robbed by two strippers say they don't mind because it's a long time since they had so much fun. Arne and Oystein Tokvam, aged 73 and 80, say they invited the women to their home after meeting in a shop. The women then did a striptease before saying they needed the toilet. When they failed to re-appear the brothers realised they'd been robbed of £4,600 cash. "It's too bad about the money, but we just have to take it with good humour," Arne told the Bergens Tidende newspaper. "We're looking at it as entertainment. Very expensive, but absolutely entertaining." Local police in the small mountain town of Flam in Sogn og Fjordane are taking the theft far more seriously than its two victims. They cordoned off a large area around the brothers' home and have warrants out for the two women.
The Cold Snowy Country by derrymacash
derrymacash's Comments: One of my da's favourite songs was "The Quare Bungle Rye" as sung by The Dubliners. I couldn't resist parodying it here! I'm sure he would have had a quare laugh!
In a cold snowy country, where the north winds do blow
There lived two oul' brothers, as well you may know
In search of divarsion, their lives bein' dry
They picked up the phone and called quare bungle rye raddy rye
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye
Says one to the other, his brother Norwegian
"The tales of these lassies I've heard are fair legion
There's one or two tricks that I'd like to try
When I get the duds off thon quare bungle rye raddy rye
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye"
Says the other oul' brother "I know what you mean
For a crack at those kittens I truly am keen
For I've swore to myself that before I should die
I'll partake of the pleasures of quare bungle rye raddy rye
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye"
A ring at the bell and they opened the door
And they never saw such wondrous beauties before
Says one to the other, winkin'his eye
"Shall we swap halfway through the oul' quare bungle rye raddy rye?
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye"
The ladies divested, the ladies disrobed
And off up the stairs with the brothers eloped
To groan and to shiver, to moan and to sigh
And to taste the delights of the quare bungle rye raddy rye
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye
The brothers then under the covers did creep
And tired from their labours, they fell fast asleep
They slept like two babies, and dreamt bye and bye
Of the sweet ministrations of quare bungle rye raddy rye
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye
And then upon waking, it being the next day
To their shock and surprise and at first their dismay
They found the fair maidens had bled them both dry
And away with their savings went quare bungle rye raddy rye
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye
But says one to the other, "Sure who gives a toss?
Think of the profit, don't dwell on the loss
For once we were feeble and now we are spry
After oilin'our joints with the quare bungle rye raddy rye
Fal the diddle rye raddy rye raddy rye"
