Is it time to stop

[Doc Spock]

every xmas eve in the pub I recite all 52 verses of Eskimo Nell, should I continue with this tradition.

[cazzz1975]

it depends, if the people watching are asleep or look ready to hang themselves I would give it a rest

[Doc Spock]

I will start off.

When a man grows old and his b@lls grow cold
and the end of his nob turns blue
when it's bent in the middle like a one string fiddle
he can tell you a tale or two
so find me a seat and buy me a drink
and a tale to you i'll tell
of dead eyed Dick and Mexico Pete
and the gentle Eskimo Nell.

No Doc - I've just Googled & it's very long - can you hear the sound of snoring half way through? ;o}

[Doc Spock]

My favourite is verse no 32.


Have you seen the massive pistons on the giants of the CPR
the punishing forces of thousands of horses
well you know what pistons are
or you think you do but you've yet to see
the awe inspiring trick of the work that's done
on a non stop run
by a man like Dead Eyed Dick.

[Doc Spock]

Hi Smudge, what's very long?

[pussnboots]

I'm so glad you won't be in my local on Christmas Eve.

I knew I should have rephrased that - I meant the whole ode to Eskimo Nell.!!
