Another way of mixing up a hundred rotund conservatives (no English Breakfast) to make something? hundred-c + rotund- fat + conservative - tory, less English Breakfast - t (tea) gives- factory?

Thanks AB.
I feel" The act can make you happy" might be "Jolly Roger" but no idea why.

I think you are right about Jolly Roger. Have a look in Wikipedia for the slang meaning of roger

Stand in line for the web in beijing Liz, to find a hat.
