The Welly Boot Song
(from the LP "The Pick of Billy Connolly")

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell
'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell
And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell
When some bugger takes off his wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

Oh and when you're out walking in the country with a bird
And you're strolling over fields just like a farmer's herd
And somebody shouts, "Keep off the grass" and you think how absurd
and SQUELCH you find why farmers all wear wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers and all
Men out digging ditches and working in the snow
This country it would grind to a halt and not a thing would grow
If it wasn't for the workers in their wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have you're feet in your wellies

Oh Edward, Heath and Wilson they haven't made a hit
So you'd better get your feet in your wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have you're feet in your wellies

It ain't all bad news:

"New Order will perform a set packed with Joy Division tracks at Glastonbury this weekend.

They've long since decided to bring the songs they wrote with Ian Curtis back in from the cold and bassist Peter Hook told 6 Music that they're planning a greatest hit set for the festival:

"After going through 24 Hour Party People, maybe with the closure of it ... Seeing it on film -- Ian's last evening -- and having the music ... It did bring us back to appreciating the music. So we started playing She's Lost Control, Transmission and Isolation again."

Forecasters Warning

UK Flash Weather Warning

Areas Affected: Devon, Cornwall, Central & Southern Wales, Midlands, Central-Southern England.

Heavy Showers & Thunderstorms

Particularly Dangerous Situation

As predicted in association with the upper trough to the West of the UK and increasing amounts of vorticity thunderstorms are now developing on a more widespread level through Southern and Southwestern parts of England and this is the initial stages of a very active 24 to 36 hour period with regards to convection.

The current thunderstorm activity will continue to develop and push Northwards through parts of Wales and into the Midlands by morning bringing the risk of torrential downpours leading to flash flooding and large (1-3cm) hail. This risk is then expected to extend to a large portion of England and Wales through Friday afternoon. Some excessive rainfall totals are likely, especially across Northern England and flash flooding is a distinct possibility.

teehee
 
A little mud never hurt anybody.

Just think of it as undigestible chocolate. And you're all Willy Eavis's honoured guests. :)

This is the first Glasto I've missed since '92.
Had some scorchers 92,93,94 and 99 and if course I was there for the mudbaths of 96,97 and 98.
I hate to admit this but I'm finding it hard to contain a tiny wee feeling of schadenfreude :p

Bet the £250 a night 'trailers' (small 70's caravans) at Lost Vagueness look good value now.

Lovely day in Brighton btw. Boss isnt in so I'm off to the beach. :cool:
