Hello. Following its roaring success on the old 606 (winner of six Luckies*) I thought I'd provide a space on 606v2 for you to post any irrelevant little things you fancy sharing.

I'll start: I've always had trouble with the line 'Love grows where my Rosemary goes.' If they'd chosen another name like Anne or Susan there'd be no problem, but rosemary's a herb so it could be 'Love goes where my rosemary grows.'

Grocer Jack can kiss my crack.

Domesticated Rattus norvegicus make great pets by the way

My sister had one.

Another?

Congratulations to her.

Say "Hi!" to Lola for me as well.

Lola ate my sister's rat.

Seriously? In one sitting?

I get it now. "My sister had one (rat) but alas it is no more. Thanks to the one with the eye patch"

Exactly right

My sweet little niece really misses Dr Hook.

I don't get it!

"Only 16" was one of his songs. It would be weird to write a song about that now.
Also a vague reference to the eye patch comment above. (I'm not associating Lola with Dr Hook though)

Just reading back a few pages.... what were we on?

Whatever is was, it was good stuff!

I hear they're building a McDonalds on the Matterhorn summit for Trump and Kimmy.

They could put it on a small hill and Trump would still be too lazy to climb it.

Melania would easily do it in high-heeled boots... not a bead of sweat either. Then she could give away gift bags to anyone up there.

Free button mushrooms for all.

She could also plant a few thousand Christmas trees. She uses lot of them, you know.

That would be a major fire hazard. Unless they sweep the forest floor, in which case it's fine.

They could donate some rugs from the White House to the forest floor once it has been swept up and all the twigs, leaves and pine needles have been properly disposed of. Then put up some EXIT signs wherever required by law. Cheaper than a silly wall.

Instead of a wall they could just put up signs saying 'don't be naughty' in Spanish. Or 'what would your mother think of you?'

'Please be considerate to your new neighbours. They have to work in the morning.'

POR FAVOR SEA CONSIDERADO
CON SUS NUEVOS VECINOS.

TIENEN QUE TRABAJAR
POR LA MANAÑA.

'Go away, but leave your food'

Leave our corn alone, please Sir... and step away from those husks... hands raised.

Funnily enough, they were just talking about Theresa Maize deal on the radio.

Can't wait to see Jerry-Me Corncob's angry reply.

He looks like an ill Father Christmas.

He's a (just barely) walking horror movie.

It's fine, we don't need a decent opposition. We haven't got much going on at the moment.

Deleted my last post. Wouldn't want Mum to read that! I was being too creative.

I hate that. My mum keeps correcting me on the rugby pages.

Pans Plus - "think more". What a great motto.

Pans Plus?

No fuss!

I was reading up about the Scottish Clan Mar. Apparently it was their motto.
Though there is a different result in Google Translate when one types it in. You just get "more". Maybe the thinking is understood?

Have you heard of a band called The Ruby Suns? Their main man is a Kiwi, and they've got a song called 'Tane Mahuta'. For years I thought it was some spiritual Maori number - until I typed it into Google Translate....

I'm too scared to type it in. What does it mean?

Oh OK... Lord of the Forest.... or Husband Mahuta? What?

Hadn't heard of The Ruby Suns.

They were a good band, and then they weren't.

Have you typed it in yet? You might have to select Maori as the original language.

Yes I have. See above. Is that what you got?

When I type it in, I get 'Male genitalia'!

Really?

You must have the deluxe version of Google Translate!

I often translate comments from YouTube on it. You know... Russian, Korean, etc. Some strange results come up.

I'm reluctant to translate the lyric of the song in case the police come round!
