Norfolk Poem on place names.....
Moost counties hev nearmes searm as Norfolk
Whot never sound quite loike they spell.
So, because I’m a trew Norfolk dumplin’
I fare ter know some onnem well.
Now, why should Wy-mond-ham be Windham?
And Happ-is-burgh’s Haisboro, yew see,
And Haut-bois....well, thass known as Hobbies.
They reckun thass French - dunt arsk me!
There’s By-laugh whot lay close ter Dereham,
Called Belaw, at least so they say,
And Gar-bold-is-ham-well, jist leave out the middle
Then Garblesham’s the trew Norfolk way.
There’s Colney, well, thass known as Coney,
An’ Cost-ess-ey thas Cossey fer sure.
Hindol-vest-on is well know as Hilderstun,
But please dunt arsk me what for!
The old folk at Wive-ton say Wiffen,
An’ the neartives of Cley will say Clay,
While Glandford’s referred to as Glanfer,
Thass torkin’ the trew Norfolk way.
The Norfolk for Salt-house is Saltus,
An’ Morston - just leave out the T.
While Stody is allus called Study,
That dew seem a rum’un ter me.
There’s Stiffkey what locals call Stukey
An’ their cockles are called Stukey Blews.
Thow, o’ course, the village med headlines
When the parson wuz well in the news.
This list ent complete I assure yew,
But these few are a proof jist ter show
Thass roight trew whot the rhyme say o’ Norfolk....
We allus dew diffrunt, yer know!

Flash floods and power cuts (even at the Queen's garden party) in Britain's heaviest downfall since records began in 1865. Must be that global warming thingy!!

Zimbabwe farmers leader murdered in axe attack. Mugabe must be held to account.
Review ordered as defence spending hits crisis level. We cannot cut back any further. We MUST increase the defence budget.
Barack Obama offers to scrap missile shield in return for help from Russia with Iran. Idiot.

The Choice is Yours..............from Shelly
OK, THE CHOICE IS YOURS: GO HIKING ON THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL, or GO TO ARGENTINA TO SEE MARIA ?
Maria
Maria's little sis
In all fairness to Governor Sanford and the reporting errors his staff made:They thought he said, "I'm getting on the Appalachian Trail."
And that sounds an awful lot like what he actually said: "I'm getting some Argentinean tail!"

CHANGE.............from Rico
Drowning in a sea of paper. That is a 'change' isn't it? Look at the chart.
The government [read: Obama] has created 100% more money than existed a year ago.
All you need to know is the more dollars printed, the less each one is worth.
We are well and truly f**ked.
Stand by.
