Jings Scout....and heres more on teddy Boys haha

by Whisper

Synopsis
The original teen fashion rebel of the postwar era, the Teddy Boy paved the path of rebellion for all hooligans to come. During the war years, young men filled the working positions left vacant by their enlisted fathers, and they had money to burn when their fathers returned. This new prosperity allowed adolescents to do something they had never done before: engage in a carefree lifestyle called the teenage years.

Originating in the early 50?s from the streets of London, the Teds were working class youths looking for an identity, and they found it through a preference for romantic Edwardian dressing. (?Teddy? being a nickname for ?Edward?). The Edwardian look was one of dapper refinement, featuring slim coats with velvet trim and the impeccable tailoring preferred by upper class gentlemen. The Teds built their own characteristic look by mixing the Edwardian style with American Western and rock and roll looks. This conjunction of styles from the past and the present created a dandified ?neo-Edwardian? look that would earmark the start of fashion conscious youngsters.

The Teddy Boy look soon found its way across the shores to American boys, turning conventional society on its head. The rumblings of angst were ready for an identity, and teens used the Teds as a prime example. Long, draped jackets were borrowed from the zoot suit and juxtaposed with thin, bootlace ties from the western look. Skinny-legged stovepipe pants were cut short to show off wild patterned socks worn with suede, crepe-soled creepers, or the pointed-toe black oxfords called winkle-pickers. The only thing to top off such an outrageous cornucopia of clothing was the wildly styled, Brylcreemed pompadour called a D.A. The mandatory accessory was a metal comb, which restyled the hair into pompadour perfection after is got tousled during a fight.

While the Teds started as a fashion clique, they soon earned a reputation for fighting and vandalism. They spent time hanging out on street corners, desperate to converse privately, away from the parents who didn?t understand them. And as all parents know, complacency gives rise to delinquency, and the Teddy Boys did not disappoint. They carried flick-knives and switchblades, cycle chains and razors. They started gangs and terrorized the conventional world. Teddy Boy style was a direct ancestor of the leather jacket, t-shirt wearing American bopper look that was eventually preferred over the elegant stylings of the Brits.

Though the Teddy Boy style was inherently male, there were girls who were friends and sweethearts of these new fashion rebels, and they adopted their own look based on the boys? style. The girls paired the velvet-collared jackets with slim tweed skirts and black stockings, and wore heavy black eye-liner. They too wore winks, and some girls even went so far as to adopt the greased pompadour D.A. for their hairstyle.

The Teddy Boys created the first clique based on fashion: Teddy Boys recognized other Teddy Boys and banded together, leaving the others behind. A strong underground style based on the Teddy Boys still exists in London, and its influence is still felt in American rockabilly style. Teens had discovered the inherent power in expressing themselves through their clothes, and they never looked back.

I hope you like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Whisper with something for all the patrons

Subject: the garden
Carl was a quiet man. He didn't talk much. He would always greet you with a big smile and a firm handshake. Even after living in our neighborhood for over 50 years, no one could
really say they knew him very well.

Before his retirement, he took the bus to work each morning. The lone sight of him walking down the street often worried us. He had a slight limp from a bullet wound received in WWII. Watching him, we worried that although he had survived WWII, he may not make it through our changing uptown neighborhood with its ever-increasing random violence, gangs, and drug activity.

When he saw the flyer at our local church asking for volunteers for caring for the gardens behind the minister's residence, he responded in his characteristically unassuming manner. Without fanfare, he just signed up.

He was well into his 87th year when the very thing we had always feared finally happened.

He was just finishing his watering for the day when three gang members approached him. Ignoring their attempt to intimidate him, he simply asked, "Would you like a drink from the hose?"

The tallest and toughest-looking of the three said, "Yeah, sure", with a malevolent little smile. As Carl offered the hose to him, the other two grabbed Carl's arm, throwing him down. As the hose snaked crazily over the ground, dousing everything in its way, Carl's assailants stole his retirement watch and his wallet, and then fled.

Carl tried to get himself up, but he had been thrown down on his bad leg. He lay there trying to gather himself as the minister came running to help him. Although the minister had witnessed the attack from his window, he couldn't get there fast enough to stop it. "Carl, are you okay? Are you hurt?" the minister kept asking as he helped Carl to his feet. Carl just passed a hand over his brow and sighed, shaking his head.

"Just some punk kids. I hope they'll wise-up someday." His wet clothes clung to his slight frame as he bent to pick up the hose. He adjusted the nozzle again and started to water.

Confused and a little concerned, the minister asked, "Carl, what are you doing?"

"I've got to finish my watering. It's been very dry lately", came the calm reply. Satisfying himself that Carl really was all right, the minister could only marvel. Carl was a man from a different time and place.

A few weeks later the three returned. Just as before their threat was unchallenged. Carl again offered them a drink from his hose.

This time they didn't rob him. They wrenched the hose from his hand and drenched him head to foot in the icy water. When they had finished their humiliation of him, they sauntered off down the street, throwing catcalls and curses, falling over one another laughing at the hilarity of what they had just done.

Carl just watched them. Then he turned toward the warmth giving sun, picked up his hose, and went on with his watering.

The summer was quickly fading into fall. Carl was doing some tilling when he was startled by the sudden approach of someone behind him. He stumbled and fell into some evergreen branches. As he struggled to regain his footing, he turned to see the tall leader of his summer tormentors reaching down for him. He braced himself for the expected attack. "Don't worry old man, I'm not gonna hurt you this time." The young man spoke softly, still offering the tattooed and scarred hand to Carl.

As he helped Carl get up, the man pulled a crumpled bag from his pocket and handed it to Carl.

"What's this?" Carl asked.

"It's your stuff," the man explained. "It's your stuff back. Even the money in your wallet."

"I don't understand," Carl said. "Why would you help me now?"

The man shifted his feet, seeming embarrassed and ill at ease. "I learned something from you", he said. "I ran with that gang and hurt people like you. We picked you because you were old and we knew we could do it. But every time we came and did something to you, instead of yelling and fighting back, you tried to give us a drink. You didn't hate us for hating you. You kept showing love against our hate." He stopped for a moment. "I couldn't sleep after we stole your stuff, so here it is back." He paused for another awkward moment, not knowing what more there was to say. "That bag's my way of saying thanks for straightening me out, I guess." And with that, he walked off down the street.

Carl looked down at the sack in his hands and gingerly opened it. He took out his retirement watch and put it back on his wrist. Opening his wallet, he checked for his wedding photo. He gazed for a moment at the young bride that still smiled back at him from all those years ago.

He died one cold day after Christmas that winter. Many people attended his funeral in spite of the weather. In particular the minister noticed a tall young man that he didn't know sitting quietly in a distant corner of the church. The minister spoke of Carl's garden as a lesson in life. In a voice made thick with unshed tears, he said, "Do your best and make your garden as beautiful as you can. We will never forget Carl and his garden."

The following spring another flyer went up. It read: "Person needed to care for Carl's garden." The flyer went unnoticed by the busy parishioners until one day when a knock was heard at the minister's office door. Opening the door, the minister saw a pair of scarred and tattooed hands holding the flyer. "I believe this is my job, if you'll have me," the young man said.

The minister recognized him as the same young man who had returned the stolen watch and wallet to Carl. He knew that Carl's kindness had turned this man's life around. As the minister handed him the keys to the garden shed, he said, "Yes, go take care of Carl's garden and honor him."

The man went to work and, over the next several years, he tended the flowers and vegetables just as Carl had done. In that time, he went to college, got married, and became a prominent member of the community. But he never forgot his promise to Carl's memory and kept the garden as beautiful as he thought Carl would have kept it.

One day he approached the new minister and told him that he couldn't care for the garden any longer. He explained with a shy and happy smile, "My wife just had a baby boy last night, and she's bringing him home on Saturday."

"Well, congratulations!" said the minister, as he was handed the garden shed keys.
"That's wonderful! What's the baby's name?"

"Carl," he replied.

Came back and glad I did. I'm going to talk "posh" now cos I presume the person I was mistaken for talked the way I did last night. My apologies to you if what I said about the pipe bombs was taken the wrong way. I wasnt trying to start an argument, just wanted to state that it could be an American. My hamfisted way didnt work did it!

Anyway, I'm from Glasgow but lived in Banknock for years. Bought one of those Wimpey houses. Folk thought we were loaded but after paying for one of those boxes, we were skint!

Worked in Re-Chem, remember them? They had a lot of law suits made from parents of babies born with eye defects. I was pregnant when I worked there and my oldest was born with an eye defect but I didnt know about the claims until years later and was told its too late to claim. Now I'm hearing that a farmers claiming for his cows!! I ask you, a cow!!!!

Oh the memories are coming back now. Mind Greens the hairdressers? I went there once for my first perm. Came out looking like I had stuck my fingers in the socket! And they charged a fortune too. Been cheaper just sticking my fingers in the socket!!

Then it was into the Wimpey for a hamburger and chips. I even went to Falkirk to get my engagement ring at Samsons (is that the right name??) the jewlers, then into Pizza hut!

Ok I've rambled on a bit here! Sorry again to all the people who welcomed me, I was just a bit shocked when I read all those messages for me this morning.

REMINISCENCES OF TAM

Is history repeating itself again and again ?

We have intelligent people voted into high office
This office is not likely to be filled by a dirt farmer

Yet a farmer watches an acorn fall and he removes it.
He knows that in a few years time the acorn will grow into a huge tree and it will be more difficult to remove.

In 1933 a German Dentist named Albert Voss blew up an Imperial Airways Plane.
Was this the acorn that was not removed and grew into the Twin Towers Tragedy of the U.S.A.

In WW2 the Americans knew the Japanese were belligerent and did nothing.
They reaped Pearl Harbour.

In WW2 Chamberlain went cap in hand to Hitler.
Chamberlain reaped WW2

When Chamberlain had left Hitler who had signed a paper for him, said later, “ it’s only a bit of paper" and he tore it up

The Germans could not get the U.K. by war in WW1 nor in WW2 so now they are trying a new tack.

When are the people who are in a position to protect our freedom going to wake up?

Perhaps we should give the dirt farmer the job of running the country and have the big wigs mucking out the pigs and cows.
With any luck the aroma of the muck heap will help to clear a few fogged up brains.

REMINISCENCES OF TAM

I often sit on our back porch and watch the birds picking insects from the lawn.
Pity we don’t still have the flying monsters of long ago that lived at the same time as Tryranosaurus Rex.
Perhaps they could have been trained to attack anyone sporting a Charlie Chaplin moustache or a swastika on his coat sleeve.
Swooping down to a noise like a flight of Junka dive bombers they would reach down with huge talons and grasp Herr Schicklegruber by his tender bits and drag him aloft and away to the mountain top where all the young of this huge flying monster where waiting with their bibs tucked in and ready for breakfast.

One could almost listen with joy to the faint calls echoing from the mountain tops, Hilfe, Hilfe.

With a bit of luck the huge monster would remember where he had picked up this piece of crap and go back for more.
But fat Goering would be a diffenent proposition???
Not really, the monster was not without intelligence and would eat half of Herman then take what was left to the mountain top.

Goering would be spotted but the monster would not give him a second glance.
The monster would dive then----------- splat, a mixture of three to one crap, dust, and moisture would
bury the crippled Weasle even as he ran, then the mixture would set hard like concrete and today there’s a hand rail round it in Berlin for folks to climb onto to view the surrounding kid’s park.

A knicker story.

by Auld Yin.

When I ended up in hospital, ten days ago, it all happened rather suddenly. As a result my clothing was removed bit by bit.
I remember being on the table when i suddenly remembered I still had my knickers on. I started to wriggle and was going on about my knickers, it all got fuzzy after that but, a friend told me that when I was coming out of the anesthetic, I was still babbling on about my knickers.
Some one must have made the connection because next day, I found the knickers in question neatly wrapped in a plastic bag in a drawer.

Greyfriars Bobby...

by Auld Yin.

he used to be buried near his master but, guessing the church goers didn't want all the graves walked on, he was moved near to the entrance of the church yard.
I was born and bred in Edinburgh but my first visit to Bobbie was about eight years ago when I had my youngest home on a visit.
When you walk in to the church yard the "wee dug's" grave faces the entrance.
Has your daughter watched the Disney film? I remember when it was made, after the filming, the dog was given to a children's home. I saw the dog, years later, with Chief Constable Willie Merilees who was talking about something in our local church.

Get your cat hold her firm and pop the pill in her mouth......put your hand over her mouth to keep it closed

Al has a problem wi’ worms,
they nibble his butt an’ he squirms.
Sometimes at night he will wake in a fright,
having one of his turns.

Al sent worm tablets to his tum,
he may as well have shoved em up his bum.
Cos the next night in fright by poor candle light,
he set fire to the hair of his scrotum.

Roast nuts are nor comfy at aw,
especially if yuv ony got wan ba.
So don’t write aboot worms cos they surely turns,
then yu got nothin' tu laff at at aw.

Like I sed before me owd tulip, these buggers charge like a wounded bull for new programmes then ask you to let them know if you have any hiccups. Methinks the people who pay a lot of money ($400)for a program aught to be paid for finding bugs that should have been fixed before the bloody product was sold.
The assholes are quick to grab your money then tell you to go elswhere to get help. It stinks. So does the asshole that sold the duff product.
