Just to get the ball rolling in the November Pome Comp
Dear Guido Fawkes, please do us a favour
Give us all something that we can savour.
Come back from the dead if you possibly can.
You failed last time, what now better than
You go to the Crooked House of the Dumb
And blow them all to Kingdom Come!
This is most heartfelt!

Yes FEEG, but what’s to say the next lot are going to be any better!
Ara:
I can only say they could not be any worse
Evening FEEG,
Now as OZ will tell you I like to go thru the rules with a Hansard’s readers concentration. You have entered the November competition while it is still October and not even Halloween. Paul Staines! This must make the entry void.
TR: I have always been ahead of the crowd. I am, after all, a retired prop forward !
Araminta, I think such a Guy Fawkes action would definitely “encourager les autres”!
JW, good evening. Just to help you out, the concentration is of a Hansard reader. It follows that ‘a Hansard reader’s concentration’ would be preferable , in my opinion.
Great equaliser with Paul Staines by the way. I had assumed that he was yet another Hun Manager expletive as in Struth and had to google to find out that he is Guido.
Paul le Guin, did I get that one wrong!
I reckon the semis will be the Unmentionables against the Paisley faux Saints and you against us.
Paul le Guin! Who he?
Ah, I see you mean Paul Le Guen.
Incidentally, I notice that you used an exclamation mark to punctuate your question. Seeing as it was rhetorical I am sure that some would allow such a deviation, while others, no doubt, would prefer a more traditional question mark. However, to paraphrase A. A. Milne’s Alderny, you may find that other people nowadays like interrobangs instead.
For the edification of readers: ‘‽’
“Oh bother!”, said Pooh.
Alderney!
“Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.”
Were there weeds in the Garden of Eden… ?
Perhaps some flowers are more equal than others.
Well, my dandelions and thistles definitely suffer from original sin (or words to that effeect), as I tell them every summer.
Given the French name for dandelions, I can well believe that!
