Led by the uncovering of a plot to send this fearless group into a quivering rout of moral decay, fool takes out his banjo and starts to play…
fool: (playing the banjo)…
Narrator: And? Is that it man?
fool: Yes. All I’ve got so far Mr N. But I think the fool’s soothing twangs managed to stop the search for the wicked poisoned arrows, which were a-darting and a-farting in the general public’s waft.
Narrator: Good. Good job man. As you were. Quiz…

WHO AM I? – 2010 – He’s back – the Legal Eagle chipped in with this weeks right one to these clues: “Dressed as one half of a tiger in Africa I went on to tour the world.” – here’s another… “He went on to question the crowds incessant tittering.” Ok, clue three, “In one ripping yarn he was once chased down by the school leopard.” – It was of course Michael Palin. Now, for a new clue; “A Wandering Minstrel I – but I didn’t play the banjo.”

Ed: Ok, as we haven’t heard from you in a while, here it is, but I’ll not start off with one from the press, because they’re all old and have been heard before… But what I will do to kick start the game is offer up this one from the press…
Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set.. The

This question was posed by Mr. Troi oi; ‘Wunderbar - will be going round in my head for days.......but who did the original and what was unique about it pop-pickers?’
Several answers were submitted:
from a Mr. Mirp in Cleeves; ‘Ok, the original is by a bearded chick called Charlene, who apparently never owned a beard, nevertheless the song was written from a blokes perspective, called Charlene.
Also, on its first release, it went by her name Charlene Duncan, as it was at the time. However, by the time it got to No.1 in
And from a Mr. Bolovski in
Close, but this was in fact the correct answer: ‘Pop-tastic.....Charlene is the answer I was looking for, but what was unique...?
It was the first no 1 on the Motown label by a white honky bitch......not arf.’
Things that are really getting on my nose, up my goat and around my wick this week:
The P’s & Q’s of a fraudulent Cambridge academic – perhaps slightly vague in its description, even a couple of degrees left of right, yet the essence of this so called academic’s apathetic effortlessness shares hints of almost trying too hard, thus ladies and gentlemen and Idiot – he is a fraud. With me? No, didn’t think so. What I mean is; the mid 1970’s young man who speaks pronouncing every t, h, d and wh. He, and it’s always only a he, simply because there weren’t enough chicks on TV in the 70’s. They mostly played booby parts in a Hammer House spin off, siphoned from Christopher Lee’s fanged solubles or were shunted into a lonesome servitude existence in the kitchen where only arms were seen extruding from the kitchen hatch as a delivery of lumpy mash potato was dropped from an ice cream dispenser onto pea green round plate. But he, he the Oxbridge wannabe, would have been eloquent, sophisticated, dexterous in vocabulary, cajoling his spasicatedly long words from an ‘O’ Levelled education, which was when ‘O’ Levels feigned tangible and at the same time strangled the utterly confusing tangent coiled isoseismic triangulations which have no room in society except for the outdated pinned stripped architects of disparity. Having said that, the out of control student fuzzy hair, woollen flairs and knitted scarf made the whole idea of battling out of Burma 30 years previous unthinkable, but now, 1975, stood before the Rubik’s cube era, generations of pip-squeaked elequentalists were strutting their evaporated John Bull boogie and belting society in the chops with their anarchic claptrap of non-conforminism they called rebelliosous in stripy tank tops. Yet the P’s, & Q’s, of their t’s, h’s, d’s and wh’s were still very much in place. Their eagerness to crush the stuffed shirts with their own breed of nihilism was cut unquestionably short by the certain drawback of education possessed with pronunciation – they had both, and they used words to express it, but was it Camridgelisticallyfantasicatable…huh, was it? The P’s & Q’s of a fraudulent

Things that are just Sweet Love:
Whilst hosing down a steamy humid garden its good to be able to hear the concert piano soundtrack from Tom & Jerry rattle, tinkle and jazz away from the front room. You just know when Tom fucks up every time. Argh, I can see him standing on the rake now, head in a banana skin fired from a plane or having his whiskers tied into a neat and triumphant bow.

This bit is the rugby bit:
I was the dark horse of the family…
Published 4.3.10
With form comes fortune and Hook charmed both attributes with a beautifully floated intercept pass to Alexis Palisson who trotted in for the score. Just before the break it looked as if
In
In
Ireland’s first came from phase ball where Heaslip made the grounds up the middle, Sexton took it on from there and chipped an inch perfect grub through for Bowe to collect. From there
Dan Coles hit back with a short bundle by the posts and Sgt. Wilko slotted a drop on 70minutes to put them in the lead, but then the softest try of the tournament came from a well worked lineout, down to O’Leary who gave the crash ball to Bowe on a straight line and he broke through three soft tackles.
In a game that could have gone anywhere Jonno was quick to defend his improving squad, “I’m not saying we deserved to win or anything like that because you get what you deserve in this game – but it was in our grasp.”
Guinness Premiership:
Bottom club
Top 14: Nargh
Magners League: Couldn’t tell you

The Bulls came from behind to take the Tahs 48-28/ And we had to wait till the 77th minute before a try sealed the game for Brumbies at Stormers 19-17/ Whilst Reds were defeated by the Chiefs 37-19/ The Crusaders found their form to topple a lowly confident Sharks 35-6 – Zac Guildford stayed on-song there with two tries/ Cheetahs made hard work for the Highlanders win; 31-24/ ‘Canes struck early against Lions and finished them off 33-18/ Blues beat Reds 27-18 with Rene Ranger breaking probably more tackles than he should have.

Some competitions now:
WIN a PRIZE!
John Smit’s XV; films where the villain is played by a Brit is done, long live John Smit’s XV of famous people who have a famous relative in sport – can be the same sport or a completely different one. Can be an actor in the John Smit XV, but he has to be relevant to that position, i.e. Elvis at flyhalf – sharp, nimble, play/decision maker, good hip swerve (he had a brother, but died at birth!). Can be an actress, author, sportsman etc…
Send ‘em in, you win a prize; if you have 8 or more pairings the same as fool, you win a special prize.
If you’re wondering why it’s John Smit’s XV, it’s because he’s the current World Cup winning captain, so we’ve got another year and half of him yet!

Ok, a willow the wisp of cricket now:
A thribbleistic bout of goodies today that’ll put welts on your carbuncles, so much so that Michael Vaughan, or Vaughanny, or Vaughandrette, My Beautiful Vaundrette, Vuaghandretta is mentioned twice this week, so without any more pustulations lets run down his first moot…
“Every time I put on the telly this bloke is getting hundreds. I just can’t believe what he is doing.”
Exactly, it shouldn’t be allowed, but you tell the Sach that, the man’s got no decorum. 21 years as an international and he’s only 31, the Little Master knocked 200 off an ODI to help
Over the road in Mirpir, Bangle-land, Colly steadied
Eoin Morgan and Craig Kieswetter cruised home for
Helping the selectors with their problems was Prior on 42. Perhaps he and Kieswetter can have a fight or I know, put them in the same team. England only just snuck by here by 2wkts, but in Eoin, pronounced Eoin, that man the Vaughaninator says has a pedigree for big hits with sweeps and reverses in the short form; “Eoin is a player we’ve been crying out for in the one-day side.” – Get back in your box Vaughantrilacist.
Down a bit, right a bit, fire! The Chappell-Hadlee series got underway with unlikely hero Scott Styris sealing the Aussies 276 target with his own 49* and four balls to spare.
Ross Taylor hit a 71 off 70 knock and captained for the injured Vettori, which is also where late replacement Styris came in. He later said, “This is a big win for us. This defines our summer. I think Daniel Vettori has already said that.” – Ok, that’s enough big man, you’re delirious, get him some ice, next…
Scott also managed to have a head-butting competition with Johnson, argh, it’s all so clear now, but couldn’t have connected as well, as he was only fined 15% whilst Johnson received a 60% dock off his match fee. Wallop.
And, um, I thought I had more, but no, I’m done. Except to say that Waqar Younis is no longer in contention for the England fast bowling coach position, as he’s now the full coach of Pakistan, which has 650 miles of coastline, is the 6th most populated country in the world and Led Zeppelin wrote a song about it.
Till next week…
In the meantime catch this if you’re there!

Other Sports:
On a one fight licence Evander Holyfield 47 will box Frans Botha on 17th April in
Meanwhile Floyd and Mosley have been gobshiting in the build up to their fight on 1st May. Floyd got upset because Shane touched his hands in a press conference. After a bout of slapstick sparring, where Shane did touch his hand, I saw it, Floyd vehemently stated that he will win his 41st fight and no matter whom he knocks stupid on the way, they will just be a formality. He also says he is the bank; “All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather – they all get their biggest payday against Mayweather.” – Ain’t that the truth – hallaujia – Amen.
And now let’s hear it for the news: Bong, bong, bong:

The oldest dog in the world is a Beagle-cross, perhaps a little angry, but not mad. It’s name is Lulu. She’s 21 or 147 doggy years, which is the highest break you can get in snooker, except that has nothing to do with this, although owner Travis Buckley 60, did keep the mutt alive by dragging it down to his local, The Coach and Horses in Longfield Coventry for a swifty every night, and I think there might be a pool table in there, which is close enough.
Of course Travis could have bought a camel and took it to the UAE Annual Camel Pageant, which selects it favourite beast in five sections, rising up to 20 points for its beauty and elegance. Don’t knock it; the winners get luxury cars and the runners-up cash. At auction the best lady humps will go for £2.85m. – Two lumps please.

Late in from the Other Sports section is Glaswegian Ghanaian Kwane Nkrumach Acheampong aka the Snow Leopard came 47th in the Olympics slalom and was not last. He beat Albanian, Erjon Tola. - Erjon, mate, lift it.

Crazy rock n roll capes No. XXXXXIIIIVVIVI! ‘Charlene was born on 1st June 1950 – fact. And has never had a beard’
The longest jump on a road worthy Harley Davidson was set this week by Aussie Seth Emslow at 183.7ft (56m) or at least I think it was an Aussie, he did it in
You know, Evel Knievel set the first record in 1975, and he jumped 14 Greyhound buses at a distance of 115ft. Then Bubba Blackwell topped him by another bus in 1999. Evel’s real name was Roger. Roger Knievel. I shit you not.
Peter Kay corner – very Cooper-esque, except this is a Peter Cook quote, which is a cross between the Kay and Cooper bit but without the k! – Wrong, all wrong, we’re going back to 2005 and a slice of vocabulary: Cube Farm – An office filled with cubicles.
You wanna buy a hovercraft that drives on the land, sea and air? Then see Kiwi Rudy Heeman who’s built the bloody thing in

Better get a hat
A bloke could get a lob-on over that for weeks. Hang on 55 year-old Indian business man did – three weeks in fact. It’s not Viagra but a nervous disorder called priapism which prevents blood from leaving the knob. Without surgery it would have eventually contracted gangrene and probably killed him. Now Docs say he is impotent. Three weeks. Three bloody weeks.
