Oh yes you did...

[rachstebbs]

you did start it Mr Bonner.
now lets talk about something good. I'm really bored at work cos no one else is in the office so does anyone have anything interesting to say?

[Dave-Bonner]

How about.......

There's been a lot of talk about the possession of heritage (it's our heritage, it's the public's heritage etc). Why? Where is the line that denotes one group of people's heritage from another, and why does a specific group have 'rights' to heritage that another one doesn't (beyond the mere pragmatic resource management side of things). Just wondered if anyone can pull that one apart!

Have fun! (p.s. they won't talk to you now, Rach! Sorry xxxx)

(p.p.s. no I didn't!)

Gizza job!!!!! ....please!!!!!

[Dave-Bonner]

God rest You Merry Archi Men
Mr Swift and Barford would have you think differently,
That all metal detectorists Hoover up antiquity,
They blind you with their clever words and have a go at me.
Not a tiding of comfort and joy comfort and joy.
Not a tiding of comfort and joy.

Now please look before you leap and knock my rhyme,
For many an artefact was rotting away with time.
The fertilizer gets its grip along with the lime
Not a tiding comfort and Joy, comfort and Joy
Not a tiding of comfort and joy.

Time Team and JCB are on TV today,
Surly not all archi men set about their work this way,
Oh what sad image they all portray,
What a sad state of affairs they portray. they portray,
Oh what sad state of affairs they portray.

God rest you merry archi men please don't dismay,
For many a metal detectorist are recording away.
There saving our heritage? the stuff you chucked away.
We bring tidings of comfort and Joy, comfort and Joy
We bring tidings of comfort and joy.
Merry Christmas
Gary Brun
