BUT I SHOULD SAY IT'S DEFINITELY A SOLID FOUR DAYS' PRACTICE EVERY WEEK AT LEAST.

OH, HOW SO, MY LORD? MADAM, YOU WILL RECALL THAT, PRIOR TO HIS ACCESSION OUR GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN GEORGE HAD BECOME INVOLVED IN THE LONG-STANDING NORTHERN WAR THROUGH HIS CLAIM TO BREMEN AND VERDUN.
THESE DUCHIES WOULD PROVIDE AN OUTLE TO THE SEA OF THE UTMOS VALUE TO HANOVER.
THE TREATY OF WESTPHALIA HAS ASSIGNED THEM TO SWEDEN.

MEANWHILE, FREDERICK WILLIAM OF DENMARK TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ABSENCE OF CHARLES XII SEIZED THEM 1712.
OH, YES.
IT ALL FALLS INTO PLACE MORE WINE? OH, THANK YOU.
HOWEVER, JUST PRIOR TO HIS ACCESSION GEORGE HAD MADE AN ALLIANCE WITH FREDERICK WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA ON THE GROUNDS OF PARTY FEELING.

MEANWHILE, A BREACH HAD NOW OPENED WITH OH, NO, NOT AGAIN! OH, COME ON! STAND AND DELIVER AGAIN! YOUR MONEY, YOUR JEWELRY, YOUR HANG ON YOUR CLOTHES, YOUR SNUFF, YOUR ORNAMENTS YOUR GLASSWARE, YOUR PUSSY CATS DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE LUPIN.
YOUR WATCHES, YOUR LACE, YOUR SPITTOONS HERE WE ARE.
WELL, IT MAY BE THE END OF THA BUT IT'S CERTAINLY FAR FROM THE END OF WELL, IN FACT, IT'S THE BEGINNING WELL, NOT QUITE THE BEGINNING.
WELL, CERTAINLY NEARER THE BEGINNING THAN THE END WELL, YES, DAMN IT, IT IS, TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR'S IDEAL LOON EXHIBITION SPONSORED BY THE DAILY EXPRESS.
NUMBSKULLS AND BOOBIES FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN ARRIVING TO GO THROUGH THEIR STRANGE PACES BEFORE A LARGE PAYING CROWD.
THIS IS THE 15th IDEAL LOON EXHIBITION AND WE TOOK A GOOD LOOK ROUND AFTER IT WAS OPENED BY ITS PATRON.
HERE'S KEVIN BRUCE, THE DIGGER DUFFER FROM DOWN UNDER WHO'S RANKED 14th IN THE WORLD'S SILLY POSITIONS LEAGUE.
THIS KIND OF INCOHERENT BEHAVIOR IS REALLY BEGINNING TO CATCH ON DOWN UNDER.
THERE'S NORMAN KIRBY, FROM NEW ZEALAND, WHOSE SPECIALTY IS STANDING BEHIND A SCREEN WITH A LADY WITH NO CLOTHES ON.
IN REAL LIFE, NORMAN IS A GYNECOLOGIS BUT THIS IS HIS LUNCH HOUR.
AND FROM FRANCE THERE'S A SUPERB EXHIBITION OF RATHER SILLY BEHAVIOR BY THE FRIENDS OF THE FREE FRENCH OSTEOPATHS.
TROIS, UN, DEUX, TROIS, UN, DEUX, TROIS UN, DEUX, TROIS, UN, DEUX, TROIS THEY DO THIS OVER 400 TIMES A DAY.
NOBODY KNOWS WHY.
BUT FOR SHEER POINTLESS BEHAVIOR YOU'VE GO TO ADMIRE BRIAN BROOMERS THE BATTLING BRITISH BOY WHO, FOR TWO WEEKS HAS BEEN SUSPENDED OVER A TIN OF CONDEMNED VEAL.
ALWAYS POPULAR WITH THE CROWD IS THE SCOTSMAN WITH NAE TREWS EXHIBI AND THIS YEAR'S NO EXCEPTION.
SPONSORED BY NATURAL GAS AND GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL THIS EXHIBIT IS ENTIRELY SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS.
BUT FOR A TRULY MAGNIFICEN WASTE OF TIME YOU'VE GOT TO GO NO FURTHER THAN THE EXHIBIT FROM ITALY ITALIAN PRIESTS IN CUSTARD DISCUSSING VITAL MATTERS OF THE DAY.
THESE LADS FROM A SEMINARY NEAR CREMONA HAVE BEEN PRACTICING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.
AS ALWAYS, ONE OF THE GREAT ATTRACTIONS OF THIS 14-DAY EXHIBITION IS THE DISPLAY OF COUNTER MARCHING GIVEN BY THE MASSED PIPES AND TOILET REQUISITES OF THE COLWYN BAY MASSED PIPES AND TOILET REQUISITES CLUB.
AN INTERESTING POIN ABOUT THESE BOYS IS THEY ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON HIP IN JURIES.
NOT FAR AWAY, THE CROWDS ARE FLOCKING TO SEE A MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED GEESE.
BUT THE CLIMAX OF THE WHOLE EVENT IS THE JUDGING.
MR.
JUSTICE BURKE.
WELL, THAT'S THE LAS AND LET'S JUST SEE THOSE LAST SIX ONCE AGAIN.
AND THE WINNER IS NUMBER 41, MR.
JUSTICE BURKE.
ATTENTION, ATTENTION, SUSPECT HEADING DUE NORTH.
PLAN 13-A IS NOW IN EFFECT.
WHOOP! YET FEAR, NOT LIKE AN AGED FLORIN CAN SO DISSEMINATE MEN'S EYES THAT FORTUNE, STRAINING AT A KISSING TOUCH MAY STOP HER CEASELESS SEARCH TO SPORT AMIDS THE RAMPANT THRUST OF TIME AND BRING THE THING UNDONE TO PASS BY THAT WITH WHICH THE COCK MAY CHANCE AN ARM.

OH, REALLY? WELL, DON'T WORRY, SIR I USED TO SUFFER FROM SHORT STORIES.
REALLY? WHEN? OH, ONCE UPON A TIME.
THERE LIVED IN WILTSHIRE A YOUNG CHAP CALLED DENNIS MOORE.
NOW, DENNIS WAS A HIGHWAYMAN BY PROFESSION AND FOR SEVERAL MONTHS HE'D BEEN STEALING FROM THE RICH TO GIVE TO THE POOR.
ONE DAY HERE WE ARE AGAIN.
MR.
JENKINS? THERE WE ARE.
I'LL BE BACK.
MEANWHILE, FREDERICK WILLIAM, BUSILY ENGAGED IN DEFENDING AGAINS THE THREE GREAT POWERS THE PROVINCE OF SILESIA WHICH HE HAD SEIZED IN THE WAR OF THE AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION AGAINS HIS WORD.
YES, I REMEMBER.

OH, HOW SO, MY LORD? MADAM, YOU WILL RECALL THAT, PRIOR TO HIS ACCESSION OUR GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN GEORGE HAD BECOME INVOLVED IN THE LONG-STANDING NORTHERN WAR THROUGH HIS CLAIM TO BREMEN AND VERDUN.
THESE DUCHIES WOULD PROVIDE AN OUTLE TO THE SEA OF THE UTMOS VALUE TO HANOVER.
THE TREATY OF WESTPHALIA HAS ASSIGNED THEM TO SWEDEN.
IN 1648.
EXACTLY.
MEANWHILE, FREDERICK WILLIAM OF DENMARK TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ABSENCE OF CHARLES XII SEIZED THEM 1712.
OH, YES.
IT ALL FALLS INTO PLACE MORE WINE? OH, THANK YOU.
HOWEVER, JUST PRIOR TO HIS ACCESSION GEORGE HAD MADE AN ALLIANCE WITH FREDERICK WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA ON THE GROUNDS OF PARTY FEELING.
WHILE FREDERICK WILLIAM HAD MARRIED GEORGE'S ONLY DAUGHTER.
I REMEMBER THE WEDDING.

WHY DON'T YOU GO OU AND STEAL SOMETHING USEFUL? LIKE WHAT? LIKE GOLD AND SILVER AND CLOTHES AND WOOD AND JEWELS AND HANG ON, I'LL GE A PIECE OF PAPER.

WELL, IT MAY BE THE END OF THA BUT IT'S CERTAINLY FAR FROM THE END OF WELL, IN FACT, IT'S THE BEGINNING WELL, NOT QUITE THE BEGINNING.
WELL, CERTAINLY NEARER THE BEGINNING THAN THE END WELL, YES, DAMN IT, IT IS, TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR'S IDEAL LOON EXHIBITION SPONSORED BY THE DAILY EXPRESS.
NUMBSKULLS AND BOOBIES FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN ARRIVING TO GO THROUGH THEIR STRANGE PACES BEFORE A LARGE PAYING CROWD.
THIS IS THE 15th IDEAL LOON EXHIBITION AND WE TOOK A GOOD LOOK ROUND AFTER IT WAS OPENED BY ITS PATRON.
HERE'S KEVIN BRUCE, THE DIGGER DUFFER FROM DOWN UNDER WHO'S RANKED 14th IN THE WORLD'S SILLY POSITIONS LEAGUE.
THIS KIND OF INCOHERENT BEHAVIOR IS REALLY BEGINNING TO CATCH ON DOWN UNDER.
THERE'S NORMAN KIRBY, FROM NEW ZEALAND, WHOSE SPECIALTY IS STANDING BEHIND A SCREEN WITH A LADY WITH NO CLOTHES ON.
IN REAL LIFE, NORMAN IS A GYNECOLOGIS BUT THIS IS HIS LUNCH HOUR.
AND FROM FRANCE THERE'S A SUPERB EXHIBITION OF RATHER SILLY BEHAVIOR BY THE FRIENDS OF THE FREE FRENCH OSTEOPATHS.
TROIS, UN, DEUX, TROIS, UN, DEUX, TROIS UN, DEUX, TROIS, UN, DEUX, TROIS THEY DO THIS OVER 400 TIMES A DAY.
NOBODY KNOWS WHY.
BUT FOR SHEER POINTLESS BEHAVIOR YOU'VE GO TO ADMIRE BRIAN BROOMERS THE BATTLING BRITISH BOY WHO, FOR TWO WEEKS HAS BEEN SUSPENDED OVER A TIN OF CONDEMNED VEAL.
ALWAYS POPULAR WITH THE CROWD IS THE SCOTSMAN WITH NAE TREWS EXHIBI AND THIS YEAR'S NO EXCEPTION.
SPONSORED BY NATURAL GAS AND GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL THIS EXHIBIT IS ENTIRELY SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS.
BUT FOR A TRULY MAGNIFICEN WASTE OF TIME YOU'VE GOT TO GO NO FURTHER THAN THE EXHIBIT FROM ITALY ITALIAN PRIESTS IN CUSTARD DISCUSSING VITAL MATTERS OF THE DAY.
THESE LADS FROM A SEMINARY NEAR CREMONA HAVE BEEN PRACTICING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.
AS ALWAYS, ONE OF THE GREAT ATTRACTIONS OF THIS 14-DAY EXHIBITION IS THE DISPLAY OF COUNTER MARCHING GIVEN BY THE MASSED PIPES AND TOILET REQUISITES OF THE COLWYN BAY MASSED PIPES AND TOILET REQUISITES CLUB.
AN INTERESTING POIN ABOUT THESE BOYS IS THEY ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON HIP IN JURIES.
NOT FAR AWAY, THE CROWDS ARE FLOCKING TO SEE A MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED GEESE.
BUT THE CLIMAX OF THE WHOLE EVENT IS THE JUDGING.
MR.
JUSTICE BURKE.
WELL, THAT'S THE LAS AND LET'S JUST SEE THOSE LAST SIX ONCE AGAIN.
AND THE WINNER IS NUMBER 41, MR.
JUSTICE BURKE.
ATTENTION, ATTENTION, SUSPECT HEADING DUE NORTH.

THERE LIVED IN WILTSHIRE A YOUNG CHAP CALLED DENNIS MOORE.
NOW, DENNIS WAS A HIGHWAYMAN BY PROFESSION AND FOR SEVERAL MONTHS HE'D BEEN STEALING FROM THE RICH TO GIVE TO THE POOR.
ONE DAY HERE WE ARE AGAIN.
MR.
JENKINS? THERE WE ARE.
