Who thought there'd be so many inuendos in my totally innocent enquiry? As for Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto ( sometimes known as Brutus!) And not forgetting Wimpy, I can't remember what the baby was called? The cartoons from the 50s were the best. And Lord Brian...I believe it was a tin of spinach not worms, bet they taste the same anyway...lol     

That's lovely Jim. Your 2nd verse, the woman part, the last two lines don't work for me, sorry, clean your boots...no! You've got the makings of a great country song with both parties regretting the split, I know you'll say find a better line, so I'll try and get back to you if I get anything.     

Lord Brian. Yes I did write it late Saturday night so it probably didn't make much sense? The thumb on my right hand is about 5 mm thicker than my left. It could be due to the many times I bashed it while I was an apprentice mechanic? But I thought the constant pressure opposing chord fingering over the last 55 years might have squashed it somewhat?

Annwyl Pedr. Sorry to hear about Arthur Itis lol, hope it doesn't bother you too much? I get it in all sorts of strange places...like my eyes! Or my neck. My right hand is getting a little stiff...no snickering at the back of the classroom please! I always think warm olive oil helps.     

heart warming but sad, great words Jim. many top songs have used the same chords for verse and chorus, first one comes to mind is "dream, dream, dream" by various artists including the Everley brothers and Roy Orbison. maybe the addition of a bridge?     

Sounds like a challenging project? But satisfying and I'm sure it will turn out perfect and sound amazing. Can't wait to see and hear your baby.     

Those four words you should never say to a woman..."your bum's too big"...hide the cutlery ! Very funny all the same     

Thanks all for your kind words and encouragement.     

Thank you and welcome to chordieville     

I am delighted you've returned to the fold and hope you're going to take part again like you used to? I'd wish you a merry Christmas but I'm hoping to hear from you again before then? May your rock continue to roll.     

So glad to hear that. The Stones managed to carry on as did the Eagles and many more. Good luck to them.     

(these words) are in three's.     

Shwmae Pedr. Diolch am yna. Thanks for that.

That line came from two references, you can imagine eight strapping straight guys watching a completely naked girl/woman forming a curtain wall around her to hide her nakedness from kids but also to have a good look! Then there's the old joke...how many electricians does it take to change a light bulb? Answer ten, one to change it, one to hold the ladder and eight to give instructions. My apologies to any electricians, I'm just repeating a joke! (I was tempted to say "yeehah" there but I won't )
