And we've all had a jolly fine time
Breadmaster
So please raise your glass
Rosie
Put a cork in your arse
Sorry to lower the tone, but this

getting a bit smug.
Chalky
To say cheers, rab & Nik - it's just fine.
[Rosie] Why apologise? FWIWIMHO - not smug, just right.
Chalky
A pat on the back is OK
Dujon
So long as we don't lose our way

That's the press for you, is it not?
Unless it's true, of course.
Chalky
The news story stated

That I'd bifurcated
Kim
That Raak's implicated
Software
after Kim:
in a complex and intricate plot
Kim
after Twiki:
I'd ne'er bifurcated 'till now

But in the future I will, that I vow
penelope
Till I chanced upon this magic cow
bifurcating, natch
Chalky
I'll split an' I'll splice / Her twink-er-ling udders

Raak
I'll chop and I'll dice / Quite gave me the shudders

Toby
Can the pussy-cat be far behind?
widey
(tricky)
or is it a scene in my mind
alley oop
Though the grog's made me blind
(not such good form.)
Software
And my verse is quite blank you will find-t.
There is no word in the English language that rhymes with pint, otherwise I am sure that the great Sir John Betjeman would surely have written about beer in Slough.
Running the line
