I was just looking through the last posts of Clueless and noticed your comment about the sewer. It brought to mind this little ditty - I don't know if you've heard it - that my uncle Paddy (real name!) used to sing when he'd "got a sup on him"...

'Twas an evening in November,
As I very well remember,
I was strolling down the street in drunken pride,
But my knees were all aflutter,
So I landed in the gutter,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.

Yes I lay there in the gutter
Thinking thoughts I could not utter,
When two colleens passing by did softly say,
"Ye can tell a man that boozes
By the company he chooses" -
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Regards,
TR

I know a man who lay by a sewer
and by a sewer he died
and at the coroners inquest
they called it sewer side

sorry for butting in with this oldie !

Not heard that one before chris. I should imagine he found the whole thing rather draining.

Many thanks both I hadn't heard either before. I must get out more, from the gutter that is !
