That's fine until the weekend, when I change the song of the week!

Thanks to Prof. Julien for the ramblings explanation of scapegoat.

Today's word is:

Zebedee

The little bouncy bloke with the moustache from The Magic Roundabout - dispenser of calm and wisdom, and bedtime monitor par excellence. Apparently able to hypnotise Florence in an instant, judging by the way her hand moved every time she got talking to him. Not in any way drug-related, any of this, dear me no, no, not at all ... man ...

8 squadron Shackleton AEW 2 WL 790, formerly Mr McHenry.

The whole squadron:

The RAF's 8 Squadron's Avro Shackleton airborne early warning aircraft were named after characters from The Magic Roundabout and The Herbs:

WL741: PC Knapweed
WL745: Sage
WL754: Paul
WL756: Mr Rusty
WL757: Brian
WL790: Mr McHenry (later renamed Zebedee)
WL793: Ermintrude
WL795: Rosalie
WR960: Dougal (Now in the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester in England)
WR963: Parsley (later Ermintrude II)
WR965: Dill (later Rosalie II) (sometimes referred to as Dylan)

Then there was always Jasper Carrott!

Boing!!! said Zebedee.

not my finest shot , the lighting is atrocious in that area , and hand held , but here's dougal !!

Julien

That's a very comprehensive list of Zebedees, Julien.

Thanks,

I was just re-reading the list;



What kind of drugged up hippie calls their child Zeberdee? I bet they got the piddle takne big stylee at school!

Julien

My favourite stupid name is Moon Unit Zappa. That one really takes some beating!

It's a perfectly normal Hebrew name! But there is a journalist whose first name is Hephzibah - another normal Hebrew name, I suppose, but really ...

If you want daft newsreaders' names, how about Fenella Fudge on Radio 2? She's on sabbatical from Hogwarts, I believe.

Never thought of that!

Julien

I've got that beat. Heard a program on the radio a while ago where they were discussing the stupid names some parents give their kids.

Apparently, a Mr & Mrs Carte had named their newborn son............

Orson.

I kid you not. Poor kid

Nothing wrong with that. I always planned to name my first-born son Orson, as my last name is Groom.

Okay, as it's Thursday today, the word is:

aholehole

An American trying very politely to tell you he doesn't much value your contribution to the debate.

Fish from the Indo-Pacific area, otherwise known as Flagtails.

Joseph

If shortened to just ahole then can be used to describe most politicians!

Julien

Please Mr Obi - Jiff sir, could "Tobby" be a word of the day sometime?

As Obi-Jiffs not here we can make "Tobby" the word of the day for today!

Julien

Yay!!! And nobody but me knows what it means!!!! Yahoo!!!

Thanks, I feel so privaledged!

Well please enlighten us!

Julien

Are you REALLY sure you want to know that Julien?

I hope this is worth it now ...

I can't say now beacause "Tobby" was the word of yesterday! Not the Word of the day now.

i vote the word for today is Winnits !!

Winnits
Poo hangin from an unclean bum caught up in matted arse hair

Julien

I fear the Naughty Corner beckons.

ooohh she's nice !! yep the word is from scottish english as in " ah'm wipein n wipein ahn still thi WINNIT come ahff !!


we are in deep smelly stuff when obi gets back jules !!

...and if you get any ruder, you'll be in the smelly stuff with me too

Sorry Mike, I had to try really hard with the "Winnits" that was possibly the least rude one I could find!

Julien

Good grief, I go away for a day or two and the whole world goes to hell in a handbasket! What are you lot going to do when I have a whole week off soon?

Okay Naka-san, I demand that you tell us what Tobby means, or it's the cooler for you!

As for today's word, it'll have to be something that couldn't possibly have any rude connotations. How about:

cockchafer

A large, heavily-armoured brown beetle, readily identified by its feathery antennae (larger on the male). Appears in Southern Britain in May and June, often migrating northward from continental Europe, and announces its presence by flinging itself noisily at your windows at night in an apparent attempt to mate with your table-lamps.

Although I've not heard one this year, so I'm a little concerned that they may be in a spot of bother.

We've not seen any either, though we keep getting these tiny bright green things that are probably highly dangerous to plants or something.

I have seen a couple, although they weren't looking very chipper. Just not heard them bumping stupidly against the glass, which is as much the sound of spring as the cuckoo. Ah well, these things come and go.

Those shiny green things are probably just harmless shield bugs or something. The ones you want to watch for are the bright red ones - lily beetles. For some reason they only appear while they're having it off, so they are quite easy to spot...

Reminds me of my partner telling me about looking out into her garden, where there used to be a pond, at night and seeing lots of sets of 4 eyes, 1 pair above the other, looking back at her. Turns out it was several pairs of frogs or toads mating.

cockchafer

Also known as a 'billywitch'

Saw 2 a couple of weeks back, and we normally get hundreds of the blighters.

I'm avoiding Mike's wrath by not commenting on variations on the theme!

Leather trousers.
Edgar

I'm sure I don't know what you mean

Nice one, Edgar.

Do you think he means me?

Never heard of a "Naka-san" on this website....

The cockchafer (colloquially called may bug, billy witch, or spang beetle, particularly in East Anglia) is a European beetle of the genus Melolontha, in the family Scarabaeidae.

Once abundant throughout Europe and a major pest in the periodical years of "mass flight", it had been nearly eradicated in the middle of the 20th century through extensive use of pesticides and has even been locally exterminated in many regions. However, since a change in pest control beginning in the 1980s, its numbers have started to grow again. As they don't tolerate pollution well, their presence is usually a marker of low pollution levels.



I dont know about Frank but I have seena few cockchafers in Ipswich on a Friday night

Julien

I don't frequent the seedier quarters of Ipswich, even in daylight. Anyway, I thought you had to pre book them all by phone now; at least that's what the
classified section of the local rag implies, or so I'm told!

You haven't been frequenting the Fountain or the Earl Roberts again have you?

Duplicate post. system fart.

Yes I mean you! Come on, explain what Tobby means or it's the cooler for you!

OK, if you really must know....It's on my "about me" page....

Hmm, interesting. I do hope you're going to show us some of these Tobbies at some time.

Today's word is:
