The first shoots of the Common Elder boiled like asparagus, and the young leaves and stalks boiled in fat broth, do mightily carry forth phlegm and choler. The middle or inward bark boiled in water, and given in drink works much more violently; and the berries, either green or dry, expel the same humour, and are often given with good success to help the dropsy; the bark of the root boiled in wine, or the juice thereof drank, works the same effects, but much more powerfully than either the leaves or fruit. The juice of the root taken, mightily procures vomiting, and purges the watery humours of the dropsy...

Matelot

A Matelot is not born, he is made out of leftovers! God built the world and the animals and then recycled the gash to create this dastardly weapon.

He took the leftover roar of the lion, the howl of the hyena, the clumsiness of the ox, the stubborness of the mule, the slyness of the fox, the wildness of the bull and the pride of a peacock - then added the filthy evil mind of the devil to satisfy his wierd sense of humour.

A Matelot evolved into a crude combination of John Dillinger, Errol Flynn, Beau Brummel and Valentino - a swashbuckling - beer-swilling - lovemaking - LIAR!

A Matelot likes girls, rum, beer, fights, uckers, runs ashore, pubs, jokes, long leave, his mates and his ticket. He hates officers, rounds, divisions, saluting middies, naval police, painting the side, jaunties, navy scran, his turn in the barrel and signing on!

A Matelot comes in four colours; white, off white, dirty and filthy - all looking alike under a tan and a uniform.

He is brave drinking beer, abusive playing crib, brutal defending his pride and passionate making love.

He can start a brawl, create a disaster, offend the law, desert his ship, make you lose your money, your temper and your mind!

He can take your sister, your mother, your aunt, and when he is caught get his captain to vouch for his integrity.

A matelot is loved by all mothers, sisters, aunts and nieces; hated by all fathers, brothers, uncles and nephews.

He has a girl in every port and a port in every girl. He breaks more hearts, causes more fights and begets more bastards than any other man, yet when he is off to sea he is missed more than any other!

A matelot is a mean, hard drinking, fast running, mealy mouthed son-of-a-bitch, but when you are in strife he is a strong shoulder to lean on, a pillar of wisdom, and a defender of the faith and cause. He fights for his mate, and dies for his country, without question or hesitation!

What a nice man ;)

Geoff, can you give us another clue? :confused: :confused:

"You can fool some of the people all of the time..."

Yes, come on Geoff baby, what's it all about?

clue?

OK Tony

David Evans' picture of an 'anchor' is in fact a picture of a chisel. - Hence:-Chiseller

His picture of a U.S. President, is of Jefferson, and not of Lincoln who said."You may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

The next clue is:-

Cunning Ploy

OK Guv, 'ands up, you caught me bang to rights, wos me that dunnit,
'twer a fair cop 'n' no argument, I'll come quietly,
as God's me witness I didn't mean no 'arm.

Suspecting nothing, the invaders drank deeply and were easily overpowered and murdered in their sleep by the Scots.

Is this what he was alluding to?)

There are now three on my house, two on my neighbours house, and about a dozen close by. They do not smell of chocolate; and I sometimes wish the farmer hadn't said that.)

Yes

"For most of us, there's only one Doris Day!

However, before the Doris Day became a well known actress and singer, another lady with the same name was trying to establish herself on the silver screen after starting out as a club singer.
It is believed that this Doris appeared in:
'The Saga Of Death Valley' (1939, with Roy Rogers)
'Thou Shalt Not Kill' (1939)
'Turf Boy' (1941)
'Village Barn Dance' (1940),
'They Got Me Covered' (1943 with Bob Hope)"

All fools day

Every dog has his day.

"According to the medieval Dutch scholar Erasmus, the saying came about as a result of the death of the Greek playwright Euripides, who in 405 B.C. was mauled and killed by a pack of dogs loosed upon him by a rival. Thus the saying is usually taken to mean that even the most lowly person will at some time get revenge on his oppressor, no matter how powerful the man may be. The Greek biographer Plutarch recorded the proverb for the first time in 'Moralia' (A.D. c. 95)"

Cor !!

DONE UP LIKE A DOG'S DINNER...........................................
This expression apparently came from the Bible story found in 2Kings 9:30-37 in which Jezebel put eye makeup on, and did her hair to look nice, and was then thrown out of a tower by her enemies and killed. When the went to find her body there was nothing left because she had been eaten by the dogs. :eek:

(Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from the metamorphism of limestone, composed mostly of calcite

as a building material, and in many other applications.
