The Claymore Cup

Post by ParaHandy »

With the Laird's tub stuck in Fleetwood's mud, will the Tennent Cup go to another this year?

The Laird has no need to fret. I have instructed my PR agency, Handy Mandy & Dandy, to come up with a suitable trophy designed on classical lines:-

I am undecided, I have to say, whether the trophy might make him a bit erm horny? Would just the single tromp doilly be sufficient? and what should this magnificent trophy be awarded for? I am minded that one amongst us is about to flog his tub and might be a worthy recipient?

With the recent rearrangement of the Laird's hooter, should the "Y" in Yotting not be replaced by "Sn"

.. advisable, i think, as i had thought we might get the fragrant Mandy to present this fine trophy and she might take a scunner at such? Perhaps a picture of the Laird, including his fine hooter, in the presentation "package" would suffice?

The picture of the Laird in his grass skirt was with Mandy present so she can't be too particular abt the company she keeps.

Anyway, i want artistic feedback abt the design etc of this trophy ... there might be the possibility of (re-)fitting the voice box to one of these fine tromps. It won't be dolby surround sound but i would imagine a recording of one of the laird's utterances might be appropriate?

i s'pose .. jings, whit an idea .. bit like a bum bag? with both horns attached. would look slightly .. alien?

i really don't think this will do ... this trophy is for mounting on eg a mantlepiece in one's front parlour and i'd rather not, masel', hae the laird farting stereophonically on it

anyway, you have yet to comment on the artistry of having the right hand tromp slightly shorter than the left? it seems to lead the eye upwards; a splendid representation of leadership?

A truly imposing trophy and one which the lucky recipient would be proud to display in the place of honour is his or her trophy cabinet.

Perhaps it should be called the Claymore Cups on account of it's plurality and because his lairdship has been known to be in them from time to time?
