  • really? thought they were still dealin with that potato thing.....

    *ducking!*

  • thanks

  • The English have the radio, the telly and the press To all sorts of fancy gadgets they've always had access From Pettigo to Bellaghy from the Bone to Castlefin. The only way to spread the news is rattle your Granny's bin get the messege out get your head down whestle bang shout

  • A soldier came up the stairs, a rifle in his hand

    She kicked him with her button boots as down the hall she ran

    Up came another one his medal for to win

    But all he got upon his knob was the lid of me granny's bin

    The music rose like thunder as the bins and whistles played

    The army soon retreated they knew they'd overstayed

    It wasn't made of silver it wasn't made of tin

    But once again it saved us all, the lid of me granny's bin

  • She opened up the window she clambered down the spout

    Soon her bin was rattling to call the neighbours out

    She took out her whistle and blew away like hell

    And soon we heard an echo as her neighbours blew as well

    Scream, bang, shout, Rattle up a din. Thats the way to tell the boys the Brits are coming in. Now rattle up your bin lid, Get the message out: Get your head down Whistle, bang, shout.

  • As I was climbing into bed at my Granny's side. I looked out the window the Army had arrived. The house was surrounded they smashed in the front door in

    They'd come to take away the lid of me Granny's bin!
