I WORK AT THE MET OFFICE
I work at the met office
And my name is Bob
I have to do the pollen count
God it’s a difficult job
WHERE THE WHITE RABBIT WENT
Where the white rabbit went
Then young Alice followed
And down a rabbit hole they went
And both of them were swallowed

“The Day of the Jackal” is a crime drama, screenplay by Kenneth Ross, based on the Novel by Frederick Forsyth and Directed by Fred Zinnemann.
The story is set in France during the early 1960s and centres around a
professional assassin codenamed “Jackal” (Edward Fox) who is contracted

(Alan Badel) assigns the mission to locate the Jackal to his best investigator,
named Lebel (Michael Lonsdale) and he is assisted by Caron (Derek Jacobi) as
they attempt to
pick up his trail.
The film is a brilliant thriller lavishly produced by John Woolf, full of

ARE YOU WEARING A REUNION BADGE?
Are you wearing a reunion badge?
No wonder you look depressed
Steer clear of the class reunion
It will just leave you distressed
I know it was a bit of fun looking
At the old school year books
But going will just make you feel
Older than everyone else looks
DIVIDING OPINION
Because of the obvious risk
That
one of us might fall
I
had a stair lift fitted
Which
I don’t mind at all
But
my wife says that its
Driving
her up the wall
