Uptheclarets Xmas doo..

[SmudgetheClaret]

Has there ever been or could there ever be one ?

[ClaretAndJew]

Aye but we'd have to position most tables on the right and only a few on the left.

[Guich]

Could we have any in the middle?

[SmudgetheClaret]

Could we have any in the middle?

Liberals and greens on a round table of 8 reet in centre

[Bosscat]

Reminds me of that Jonny Cash song


There once was a musical troupe
A pickin' singin' folk group
They sang the mountain ballads
And the folk songs of our land
They were long on musical ability
Folks thought they would go far
But political incompatibility led to their downfall

Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear was a Methodist

This musical aggregation toured the entire nation
Singing the traditional ballads
And the folk songs of our land
They performed with great virtuosity
And soon they were the rage
But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license

Well the curtain had ascended
A hush fell on the crowd
As thousands there were gathered to hear the folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously
And that night at the concert hall
As the audience watched deliriously
They had a free-for-all

Well, the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy on his rear, said, "Oh dear"

Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
Just work on harmony and diction
Play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions keep them to yourself

Now, the one on the left works in a bank
And the one in the middle drives a truck
The one on the right's an all-night deejay
And the guy in the rear got drafted

[ontario claret]

I always drink a toast every year, just for surviving another 365 days with you lot.

[The Enclosure]

Who will play Santa ?

Never meet your hero's Charlie

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Never meet your hero's Charlie

Thats a good line for declining then
"Dear Bill,
Can't make it
Kindest regards
Charlie and Madge
The Motel 6,
Vegas"

[Quickenthetempo]

Everyone would get along like a house on fire in the flesh.
People just go over the top on here to get their point across.
Unless politics was brought up.

[claretblue]

Anonimity is a great cover for keyboard warriors to hide behind B1989 m8.....

[ClaretTony]

Not planning anything for Christmas but still hoping to organise a dinner in the spring with three beneficiaries - UTC Youth Foundation, Bradley Lowery Foundation and MNDA.

Just a lot of organising to get things set up. Used to be a group of us doing it but it's me these days, but if I can, I will.

[expoultryboy]

We could put saxo in the middle and do the hokay cokey

If you want to put your right arm, left arm or whole self into Saxo then that's up to you mate. Not my cup of tea but whatever floats your boat.

The best works Christmas do it went to was when I was self-employed.

[SmudgetheClaret]

Add a bit of spice make it fancy dress and insist our webfoot friend come as Trump..

[SmudgetheClaret]

Just thought turtles don't have web feet lol

[Guich]

Liberals and greens on a round table of 8 reet in centre

Please no.

Why would you put the Greens on a table with moderates and non-politicos?

The last thing I want, when I'm tucking into my turkey, is some yoghurt-knitting vegan showing me endless videos of a poor animal husbandry while singing 'Imagine'

[Ooogeorgeorgeoghani]

Going to give my works do a swerve this year sick of forced conversation which inevitably turns to work , now a Utc Christmas do would be bloody fantastic !
