                                                Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and never brought to mind,

should auld acquaintance be forgot,

for the sake of auld lang syne.

So gi's a crank my trusty friend,

and here's a cam o' mine,

We'll bend a bit of that to fit,

'till it breaks the next time.

(Pinched from the January 1995 Newsletter!)

To bring the new year off to a good start, here is a long-awaited (rough) joke from Ian…..

Polly wants a what?

A lady goes to her Priest one day and tells him, father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but  they only know how to say one thing. “What do they say?” the Priest inquired. They say,”Hi we are prostitutes, do you want to have some fun?”. “That’s obscene!” the Priest exclaimed, then he thought for a while. “You know”, he said, “I may have the solution to your problem, I have two male talking parrots whom I have taught to pray and read the bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house and we will put them in the same cage with Francis and Job. My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, and- then your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.”

“Thank you” said the woman “This may very well be the solution”. The next day she brought her female parrots to the Priest’s house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage, holding rosary beads and prayer books. Impressed, she walked over and placed her two parrots in the cage with them. After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison. “ Hi, we are prostitutes, do you want to have some fun?” There was a stunned silence. Finally, one male parrot looked over to the other male parrot and exclaimed, “Put the beads away Francis, our prayers have been answered!”.

First meeting of the Year is to be a ‘social’ at the Scarthwaite House Hotel,

Don’t forget to bring your cheque for Roger if you’re going to the meal if you havn’t already done it and your subs for me.

See You Wednesday
