ventaLast night, I managed to reduce ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
secutatrix, liriselei and andykittie to a spluttering heap with a single sentence. I am very proud of this.
However, it seems the reason I managed it is that they were deprived children.
They never had sung to them the song about The Hole In The Elephant's Bottom.
That's the only version I can find online, which is not the version I know - it's quite like it, but it's missing the chorus, and the words, though broadly similar, are not the same.
Note for the mother: do you have a recording of F&F singing it anywhere ?
Update: and if anyone can tell me how to get the mp3 to work properly under Firefox, I'd be grateful. It's not like I particularly want to listen to it, just that it's annoying that, despite me having the correct version of QuickTime installed, it doesn't work.

Don't Encourage Me - I'm Dead Bored Today
Date: 2005-04-08 11:41 am (UTC)This is too clever for words. I never got out of anything, not once, not even on the grounds of music lessons or whatever. None of us ever managed the table-tennis dodge either; the buggers sent us round the hockey pitch for a stagger if they couldn't think of what to do with us, which involved some of our year becoming very good at finding hiding places around Plantation. No-one ever suggested that we help with timetabling. You are clearly of a superior order of beings.
God, I've got problems. I keep joking to people about going senile as I have trouble remembering what I did 5 minutes ago, but now I am recalling skool in mind-numbing detail. Apparently the earlier parts of life are the last to drain out of the memory.

Date: 2005-04-08 11:44 am (UTC)A couple of years ago I discovered that I was being readlly dreadful at remembering recent events/where I'd put things/what I'd agreed to do etc. The answer appeared to be just doing too much and not sleeping enough - since then I've been trying to tone down the running around and sleep more, and am back down to standard levels of absent-mindedness.
