RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Never heard Botany Bay Cons called that before. OK I found this and it explains things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Fleet I learn something new every day. P Descendants of the First Fleeters are extremely proud of their lineage. The small ferries that serve Sydney Harbour at present are named after some of the First Fleet ships. They are now being replaced with new vessels, one of which will rejoice in the name of Ferry McFerryface. O tempora, o mores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can we go back to cider for a moment, please? In the year of 1642 in a little cider mill A poor old dog lay down to rest 'cos he were feeling ill He chose a most precarious perch, above the apple press And in his sleep he tumbled in and perished in distress Which caused his master for to grieve, likewise his mistress too Until their sorrows to relieve they sampled of the brew "Odzoons!" cried Farmer Attwater "the like I ne'er did sup! Go summon all the neighbours in and bid them take a cup!" Now every man who drank that night got drunk as drunk could be And wondered how the scrumpy had acquired such potency The farmer kept his counsel as he took another drop When all at once the poor old dog came a-floating to the top Now a silence fell upon the room and every man did frown They recognised poor Bendigo, though he were upside down The parson lost his colour and collapsed upon the floor And the squire lost his breeches in the rush to reach the door "Fear not!" cries Farmer Attwater, "for in all his life I'll vow He never bit nor man nor child and he'll not bite no-one now And this shall be his epitaph: here lies poor faithful Ben Who perished in a scrumpy vat and swiftly rose again". So if you're down to Devon and you goes into a bar Ask for dead dog scrumpy, 'tis the best there is by far Refuse all imitations and you'll sleep just like a log You can always recognise it by the hair of the dog.
