Go throw your Tv set away.
And in its place you can install,
a lovely bookshelf on the wall."
Roald Dahl in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'

Maldon Mud Race

Happy New Year!!!

Do you know what? Since 2001 the folk (people who live in a place)of Maldon in Essex, UK have kept a dirty little secret. Come early January each year they dress to the nines, gather in large numbers in the local Promenade Park and then make a crazed charge across the River Blackwater and back.
The Maldon Mud Race is a frightfully dirty affair, as the name suggests but what better way to work off all that Christmas turkey and 'tatoes, than a mad mud dash through a freezing river!
The whole bash is to raise money for local charity and there's tons of prizes up for grabs. So if you don't mind getting down and dirty, why not make a day of it. Have a look!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everyone!!


Have you been naughty or nice? Have a look at this piece of beatbox. It's a Christmas present for you. See you after holidays. Enjoy this wonderful time!

Thanksgiving Day!

Hi everyone!
Do you know what? Today is Thanksgiving! Have you ever heard about it? Too much turkey, stuffing, cranberries sauce and pumpkin pie... Mmmmmmmm... Delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!

Love to eat turkey

Love to eat turkey

"Ohhh, I love you!"

Love to eat turkey

'Cause it's good

Love to eat turkey

Like a good boy should

'Cause it's turkey to eat

So good

"That clappin's messing my head up man. I appreciate it.

But I was trying to think of the next line and all I hear is clapping.

Here we go... Thanks anyways"

Turkey for me

Turkey for you

Let's eat the turkey

In my big brown shoe

Love to eat the turkey

At the table

I once saw a movie

With Betty Grable

Eat that turkey

All night long

Fifty million Elvis fans

Can't be wrong

Turkey lurkey doo and

Turkey lurkey dap

I eat that turkey

Then I take a nap

Thanksgiving is a special night

Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite

That's right

Turkey with gravy and cranberry

Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry

Turkey for you and

Turkey for me

Can't believe Tyson

Gave that girl V.D.

White meat, dark meat

You just can't lose

I fell off my moped

And I got a bruise

Turkey in the oven

And the buns in the toaster

I'll never take down

My Cheryl Tiegs poster

Wrap the turkey up

In aluminum foil

My brother likes to masturbate

With baby oil

Turkey and sweet potato pie

Sammy Davis Jr.

Only had one eye

Turkey for the girls and

Turkey for the boys

My favorite kind of pants

Are corduroys

Gobble gobble goo and

Gobble gobble gickel

I wish turkey

Only cost a nickel

Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!
