Fairy tale-with attitude. And anglo saxon

Baby bear goes downstairs, sits in his small chair at the table, and he looks into his small bowl.

It is empty. "Who's been eating my porridge?" he squeaks.


Daddy Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looked into his big bowl and it is also empty.

"Who's been eating my porridge?!?" he roars.

Mummy Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells,

"For God's sake, how many times do we have to go through this with you idiots?
It was Mummy Bear who got up first.
It was Mummy Bear who woke everyone in the house
It was Mummy Bear who made the coffee.
It was Mummy Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night and put everything away.
It was Mummy Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper and croissants.
It was Mummy Bear who set the damn table.
It was Mummy Bear who put the bloody cats out, cleaned out the litter boxes, put out their food and refilled their water.
And now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear-asses downstairs and
grace Mummy Bear with your grumpy presence, listen carefully because I'm only going to say this once. . .


I HAVEN'T MADE THE FIN' PORRIDGE YET!!!"

There was once this welsh girl, see, called Megan..
Megan got herself pregnant. Well she didn't get herself pregnant but you know what I mean.
Terribly worried she goes to see her friend , Bronwyn.

"Oh Bronwen," she says "I'm in terrible terrible trouble. I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do. My da will kill me."

Bronwen thinks long and hard.

"I tell you what you need to do, Megan" says Bronwen "You want to go and see one of those Harley street doctors, see. They will sort it out for you and you da doesn't need to know."

Megan takes her friend's advice and travels down to Harley street. A bit flummoxed she knocks on the first Dr's door she sees. The name on the brass plate reads Dr Ralph Vaughan Williams.
A house keeper answers the door.

"I need to see the Dr right away" says Megan "Its ever so important, see."
"I'm afraid that won't be possible, my dear," says the housekeeper, "He's orchestrating 'The Men of Harlech'

"Orrf castrating the men of Harlech!!"Megan testily replies "Well it's about bldy time somebody did!!!"
