Dragged up bi scruff o' neck ( Explore 30/10/17)
Eventually we trudged over t' hill until we could see t' street light twinkling in our village.
Me father smiled down at me through t' icicles hanging off his nose
"Nearly 'ome now lad" he said
We stumbled into 'ouse and stood there freezing cold and tired out
Shivering and miserable in front t' meagre fire
"Any road" me Mam says, "Cheer up lads. I've got you some nice brown bread and b***er for yer tea."
Ee me father went crackers
He reached out and gently pulled me Mam towards him by t' throat.
"You big fat idle ugly wart" he said
"You great fat useless spawny eyed parrot faced wassock."
He had a way with words me father
He's been to college you know...
Taken from 'Capstick Comes Home'.
And the music for this evening ladies and gentlemen, well it could only be Dvořák
This is taken from Dvorak’s 9th and final symphony 'From the New World, composed in 1893 during his tenure as director of the National Conservatory of Music of America. Neil Armstrong took a recording of the New World Symphony to the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission. So I guess if it's good enough for Mr Armstrong, it's good enough for Flickr.
It also achieved fame as the theme of the Hovis advert in 1973, hence the above. Other breads are available.
