All ye oul wans and oul fellas out there! Wakey wakey, rise and shine!

looksee

Didn't the third line go

Den de diddlee, den de diddlee, den de diddlee den,
etc


I could easily be wrong, I am not very musical!

I shall expire from the heat today, I am going to talk to 60 primary children about being a Viking, in all my kit, two layers of linen and one of wool! Plus boots, headdress and all decorative paraphernalia. A feather boa would be much cooler!

Don't forget the big hatchet, and the shield.

Wrong variety Martinn! (though that is a remarkably accurate pic of a Viking, there is usually something 'wrong' :-) )

Dammit JB I have been dum-de-dumming the Archers themetune for the last hour...

In combination with a linen Viborg shirt.

I love linen. The only thing I like about the oppressive heat of the summer is the opportunity to wear linen suits.

looksee

Lovely stuff to wear, very comfortable. That's an interesting article OG, not seen that particular one, will have a read later. Whatever about spinning wool, I don't think I would have the patience for flax!

I found that paper a while ago when I was researching linen for a milliner who wanted to know if anyone had ever used the fabric in making top hats.
Vikings and silk toppers - when worlds collide.

Yiz must be humming the hip hop version! It's not in the key of Den. The correct key, as stated by Looksee, is Dumpy, as in:

Dumpy dumpy dumpy dum
Dumpy dumpy dum dum
Dumpy dumpy dumpy dum
Dumpy dumpiddy dum

Dumpy dumpy dum
Dumpy dumpy dum
Dumpy dumpy dum dum.....

Bet yiz can't hum that without waving your arms about, conducting!

It is Not Den or Dumpy you know it is DOO

Doo de doo de dooty doo
Dooty dooty doo doo
Doo de doo de dooty doo
Dooty diddle dee da

But I can see where you may think it is otherwise due to the atmospherics on the light programme, especially if it is coming to you via a link to radio Luxembourg.

Ah OG there you are, didn't notice you in the shade.

For my last significant birthday, I was given a present of a barbie (not Barbie). Now, using a barbie is cooking and you know what I think of that activity. So I graciously thanked the donor, parked the barbie in the garden, bought a lovely waterproof, UV proof, bug proof barbie cover and the barbie has been well-dressed ever since.

Last week, I noticed that the lovely waterproof, UV proof, bug proof barbie cover had become home for a range of exotic flora and was disintegrating.

Now, another significant birthday is approaching and my demesne has been nominated for a birthday barbie. I'm fairly confident that the metal parts of the barbie have survived but I'm not so confident about the gas hoses. So, if you hear distant rumbles, flying shrapnel and feel seismic aftershocks anytime next month, followed by media appeals for witnesses and foster homes for partially deaf woofs, that'll be my barbie!

I wonder if Jasper Carrot would be interested in the insurance claim form.

Well as I mentioned before, I have One hour left of my Significant Birthday.

Despite having to work, I have decided to put a few quid away towards my Gold Watch in 5 years time, as I am self -employed , I will have to buy it for myself.

So the offspring brought me for a wonderful meal, with wine, and beer.

The Missus, bought various clothing items, which I needed urgently.

The Party, I previously was not sure about, now is in full steam ahead, for Sat evening, so far 45 have accepted my Sons invitation, ( just imagine the presents )

Even the weather looks good for Sat.

Wish me luck.

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me, anyone else but me, anyone else but me. Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me.....etc.

By the way, I have discussed at length the theme to the Archers with himself, and he insists that we are all wrong, the key is La :

La la la la la la la, la la la la la laaaaa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la aaaaaaa
etc

Happy (belated) birthday, young man! When the festivities are over, let me know. My newest, bestest buddies are the solicitor and the priest and there might be a discount for groups.

Now, I'm off to Ambridge to gather proof positive that their theme tune is in the key of Dumpy or possibly Dumpy# and not Den or Dee or Dooby or La. You know, Martin, just between you and me, there's an awful lot of tone deaf people on this thread.

Well it proves I was right about the dum de diddlee bits

Jellybaby1

That's exactly where I got my music score from so it proves that the key is Den! Or La! Choose one will yiz!
