Friday Competition - Banjo Deliverance Edition

Hard to tell if I'm sister or brother, me grandad's cousin is my father's mother.

Guess the town where this diverse collection of genetic material appears.


Some hints:

A. All appear to be in need of a light pressurewashing.

B. 1 and 3 appear to be closely related.

C. 6 is in need of some urgent remedial dental work - £ 15k should justabout do it.

D. well over half the pop. seem to have sustained damage from forceps during the birthing process.

E. 1 is proud of her distant relative Boris Karloff: so much so she styles her hair as a homage to the great actor.

F. 5 has a nasty case of "flounder eye".

G. 2's hair appears to have been badly photoshopped onto her head. Surely no-one goes out looking like that voluntarily?

I give up, and I'm very sad that the post contained no actual banjo playing. I learnt "fueding banjos" on my own dear instrument.

O/T, was just googling to find an extract of the Iliad book 24 in original Greek, to locate a speech about Troy, and it came up with:

Did you mean:the iliad book 24 tony's well girdled women

It is in West Sussex Calfy, so the post is aimed at the denizens of that excellent county.

Google, as ever, is right; though I thought the girdle had gone out with the VHS player. Built for comfort and not for speed is the Tuscan motto, as you are no doubt already aware.

THanks, OH (I think). To quote Woody Allen - she looks like siomething you might buy in a live bait store. p.s. fishing off Brightlingsea Monday was good, codling, whiting and pollack.

This is easy! The darts team from the Three Bells in Scotton Pinkney.

Well-girdled was the bowdlerised version, TT!

Though girdles are enjoying moderate popularity amongst a few habituées of Portobello Road:

Calfy If you werent so young I could have a foeld day with "Instrument" innuendo and (In your end'o )
As it is both Eve and your Ma would kill me, and quite rightly so.

I'm glad you can restrain yourself Hitch.

Hell's bloody teeth Calfy! Harlow wins it for the Tuscan, as in with the silent final T if I can misquote Barara Parker (or whoever is attributed to that excellent comment). That being said, your host prefers the plain M&S understays,m rather than anything replete with wheels and ropes.

Beast - you need to get out or get an empty. To tense by far.

Calfy - Beast is the Charles Hawtrey of the blogosphere. Know this and you will be safe.

Frederick - I assume the Scotton darts team overwinter in an Austrian cellar, then.

I thought Norwich was a winner here.

Absolutely jam-packed with swamp-donkeys.

Tuscan Tony said...

Kill, I was briefly and under protest attending the Canaries pounding by Swansea at Carrow Road last Saturday. A mean roast lamb that Delia bird does, I have to say.

Frederick said...

Tone,old chap - of course they do! At least they can have the central heating on 24 hours a day, unlike in Les Trois Cloches where that old biddy who owns/runs the place charges 50p entry to the gas-fire heated snug after 4pm between 1 October and 17 March annually. I'm surprised the place is still open!


PS: Do you have need of any decent machines for your estate? Any clearing, tree cutting etc work? Just give us a call. We are looking to expand into the so-called Eurozone.

Frederick - farm equipment consists of the standard stff really, i.e. 24 different types of speculae, a frotting funnel and some de-scabbers. Can you help with anything else?

Frederick said...

Antony - you appear to be meticulously well equipped (farm) equipment-wise. I am not sure we have much to offer you, unless your mangelworzels are afflicted with gout or that microwhatsit thingy you were on about elsewhere. Some other time maybe.

FD etc etc

wv: perdert (like Lilith said, illiteracy is creeping in everywhere)

Tuscan Tony said...

Frederick - offer noted and duly recorded. The peasant will be in touch should the need arise.
