Thanks Martin & Julie,

And Julie, thanks for thinking of the "no follow" tags. I should have thought of that. I'd completely forgotten this was unprotected space. And yes, sadly, it is too late, as I've just discovered by googling it. Well, lets hope James at NVN is not a googler, or if he is, he doesn't consider this published. Is it worth redacting the whole thing do you think?

-Matt

Matt, I may have missed something while having a prolonged nap, but I find the last nine posts incomprehensible.

To David Cameron, Boris Johnson, et al.

Public schoolboys are having a ball;
They hold the whole country in thrall.
At school, after rugger,
Each other they’d bugger,
But now they have buggered us all.

Brian,

I posted this sonnet (but with the title "Memo"), then Julie reminded me that this thread is visible to search engines so I removed it.

According to the Daily Telegraph, in June this year a restaurant for naked diners opened for a three month season in South London.

A trendy who dined in the buff
Said, "It's all rather pigs-at-a-trough
But hot soup down your front
Causes more than a grunt
So I think perhaps once is enough."


A patron who ate after shedding
Such restraints as prevented her spreading
Remarked, "Never fear,
It can all hang out here
Which I'm sure wouldn't do back in Reading."

People frequently complain that Boris Johnson is lazy, but that's unfair. He has just signed up for a gruelling series of evening classes on Political Geography. After only a few weeks, if all goes well, they expect him to be able to find Europe on a map.

Just think, if the judging had been fair, one of us might be Britain's new foreign secretary!

(I wrote out the comment in rhyme, but I called Boris the "foreign minister" and I see now that's wrong. (Then again, some are saying it's wrong to call him the foreign secretary.))

"Trump refuses to release tax returns."

And that's not all. As everyone knows, Donald Trump also boasts about the size of his penis. But he refuses to show it. He says it's still under audit.
