Dear Dello - the doggeral thread

[horace]

Please be a kind fellow

I'm not from Ireland, Oz or even Oman

I happen to be rather disreputable ancient roman

so find me the the standard
find me the banner...

of Caesars troops before he was knocked
when I was loyal and was not half cocked

before I found hubris and followed sad brutus

so find me a flag not oz or pomgolian
suitable for this old roman

do not let let it be the colour of hell
or ghastly shades of LLL

find me an emblem which can be allowed

one for which Caesar could be proud

[Henry]

I'm sure he'll tell you to get ******, horrie.....

[Basil]

They used to lock 'em up

[embee]

Go to google images ...type in "Stupid Old Roman Qunt" ...download the best picture for Dello to use as your flag

[tac]

Something like this?

[embee]

Looks like he's wearing Zimmy's robes ...

[horace]

[eowyn]

[horace]

[horace]

Mr Dello wouldn't let me have the Cronish flag. He sent me lots of expletives when I enquired.

Hey, who changed my bloody team?

[horace]

ordinairily I as an antique roman would have the lions as my team (for obvious reasons) but for some odd reason the Angles have appropriated our emblem

Does the english fixation with lions go back to Richard the Lionheart?

[Naeem]

What's that Naeem?

Cape cobra's aka Western Province!

I can actually see that it says that now!

"Not so much threading doggerel, as rabid caterwauling"

A devasteted Virgil has resigned
Catullus and Tibullus howl in vain
Ovid has vanished in exile malign
And Sappho too laments "What a farkin pain!!"

Quntus Horatius Flaccid has struck yet again.

It goes back to Egypt, Judah, St Mark, the Christian tradition of power on earth, and Venice.

Richard Coeur de Lion was half French.

Here you go, horace, reduced to tiny size. If you still want it, you'll have to ask Dello very nicely to put it up for you.

Richard I introduced the "three lions". His Dad's banner only had two.
