The war has gone quiet, parliament is not sitting, the Party

The weather's not cool here. It's been so hot since June, we've had the
air conditioning on every day since then.
Nothing much is happening.
Oh, I don't know. The Horse of The Year Show is on. Hubby says there is
some Rugby. Greece has just had its General Election. My friend just got
married. My other friend got engaged. Buying pillowcases is quite
interesting. To some.

The new building developments on the scorched earth should be starting
soon because the old Government has dished out a load of building
permits just before the recent General Election. Fortunately, they were
voted back in.

A clock is called a knock (pronounce the first k) So you can go to the shop

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane;
Once I was happy and had a good wife
I had enough money to last me for life
Then I met with a gal and we went on a spree
She taught me smokin' and drinkin' whiskee

Cigarettes are a blight on the whole human race
A man is a monley with one in his face;
Take warning dear friend, take warning dear brother
A fire's on one end, a fools on the t'other.

And now good people, I'm broken with faith
The lines on my face make a well written page
