Andrew Macdonald 27 January 2003 18:57 Fin de soup
Now that the soup fettling season, like the late king's life, is drawing
peacefully to a close, I'm finding I have a bit of time on my hands, so I
thought I could either go and watch the paint dry on the back of the toilet
door or email SSI........ Too late, the paint's already dry.
By 'eck, though but (sorry, been to Yorkshire last week) we had some reet
gradely soup this year, a positive tsunami of tsoup in fact, a maelstrom of
mulligatawny, a plenitude of pottage, a veritable benison of broth. And
all made, you'll be pleased to note, with the Wusthof which is now so
stratospherically sharp that vegetables are sliced to micron thickness and
much in demand by restorers of stained glass windows for their delicacy and
translucence. Plus, if you cut your fingers off, you won't notice for
three days.
OH MY GOD THE KEYBOARD'S GONE ALL RED!
Who is this "Winwaloe" and why is he even more crap at typing than I
am? And why does he get his own set of ""? So I can be
"Andrew Macdonald" OK?
I would have thought that if you lot needed a new multi storey car park,
you've got the ideal site for it in the old Gas Works. You know it makes
sense.
Doom Bar, Doom Bar, Doom Bar, Doom........................................

Fin Soup? Where did you get the shark from? I didn't think they were
indigenous to the fens. I'll never go punting with confidence again!
I have no idea who the mysterious "Winwaloe" is. He gets the
"" treatment because I can't help feeling that Winwaloe is his real
name (Mr. W. Inwaloe? or maybe a dyslexic dutchman, Wim Waloe?). Of course,
you might also be entitled to ""'s but do you really want SSI
readers to know that Andrew Macdonald is merely a nom de guerre ..... eh,
Milord Lucan? I am not sure if the barely legendary Mr. Wimoweh has spelling
difficulties or is writing Cornese. Either way the effect is much the same!
Nice idea for the multi-storey car park but if we put it in the ol' gasworks
things could take a turn for the worse if they then move the Tat St. Ives to
somewhere people can find it and the unspeakable abominations contained
therein.
And keep your mitts off MY Doom Bar. If the good lord wanted you to partake of
it regularly he wouldn't have banished to the land East of Anglia.
Now, if you don't mind I've got more important matters to attend to.
Principally an e-mail from your cat!

Look, do try and pay attention. If it was shark soup it would be soup de
fin, not fin de soup. Didn't you learn anything at school? (Sorry,
stupid question.)
And be very careful when confidently punting, it's more than just a cunning
stunt.
SSI readers can rest assured that Andrew Macdonald is my real name, and not
one that I assume in railway stations, but that's another story - probably.
Anyway, I'll let you get back to the email from the cat, it's probably far
more interesting.
Vile Jelly 28 January 2003 22:44 Ooh, do tell. I have always liked train stories. I've got all the Rev Awdry's books! Andrew Macdonald 30 January 2003 09:03
Shan't, and isn't it about time you gave them back?
I have consulted my well thumbed copy of Gerlyver Ber, and it would seem that
Mr "Winwaloe", if indeed he is a Mr, is not writing in Cornese, but
rather an obscure version of complete undergarments. More power to his
elbow, or possibly moy gallos dhe y elyn.
Vile Jelly 30 January 2003 16:12
English, Cornish, Gibberish? It all ends in 'ish' so it must be the same
thing.
Anyway he has just bunged us an e-mail so I'll ask him.
Andrew Macdonald 31 January 2003 10:49 Did you understand the answer? Vile Jelly 31 January 2003 15:53
Haven't had one yet.
Unless he is masquerading as the wife of a Nigerian multi-millionaire who
wants to me 4 million dollars!
PS. Congratulations on making it across the polar cap with the wine still
intact. Your middle name isn't Shackleton is it?
