There was a plumber known as Cropp
Who was known to have the odd strop
“I never win a prize”
Were his frequent, sad cries
But never did the penny drop

John’s nemesis was a man called Ray
A fiendish merchant they say
Who knew full well
But would never tell
That the courier DID go that way

Ray liked to tease and torment
Poor Croppie with wicked intent
He’d dangle the bait
Then sit back and wait
For croppie’s tearful lament

The moral of this tale, lads, is clear
If free boilers and gifts you hold dear
Don’t wind up old Ray,
Or live too far away
Or you’ll miss out too, I fear!


Mystery prize entry... :D

That's pretty good, I've wrote one, but in mine Croppie and Ray are a bit more friendly with each other.....it was the only way I could get it to rhyme

Will see if I can change it, to make more sense.

Ray and gay?
:eek:
 
there was a lady called Minnie
who wore a particular pinnie
when she bent over
with her hands in the clover
her pinnie stopped masking her...........ooh public forum
 
There once was a man called Ray, competitions, free sweets & prizes was his forte...

Then one day he had a real treat for us all, 5 shiny new boilers for the gas safe amongst us all, many tried, but few will succeed, it turns out these merchant bosses aren't easy to please...

The prize was a great one, the best boilers some say, it turns out theres an alternative to the plastic Bosch way, with only 4 moving parts & a long guarantee, customer satisfaction was a sure thing for me...

My gas safe is proven, I was eliminated before, this is my poem for Intergas galore :)
 
There once was a man called Ray
Oh, he used to love to play
On this forum, he spent his day
Oh, the things he gave away

He had a great big shop
Nearly as big as the Co-op
His best mate was Mr Crop
He loved to throw a strop

Mr Crop, lived far, far away
No deliveries for you said Mr Ray
Not even if you pay
This made Mr Crop bray

He wasn’t all that bad Mr Williams
He’d share some of his millions
With the plumbing forum minions
This is where they shared all their opinions

Ray loved to give away a freebie
Even though it made everyone greedy
They thought it’d be easy
So they all said they were needy

But Ray had a plan
That would make the process span
He wasn’t going to make it quick
He made us watch the clocks go tick

To stop it turning into a great big fight
A poem he made us write
Even though we’re not all that bright
So off we went writing late into the night

The boiler being given away is an Intergas
Apparently top of the class
This is an opportunity that one must not pass
It could save us a load of brass

The boiler came from the land of the Dutch
Parts, it didn’t have much
Only four that moved on this Combi Compact
Now that is a fact

So we all joined the queue
To have a chance at winning this boiler and flue
We all sat there with a brew
Waiting for Ray to reveal his crew…


(Boiler Entry)​
 
Whilst fishing today, my thoughts turned to Ray
And the boilers he was dishing out
Then thoughts turned to fear
A computer wasn't near
Could I enter? I really did doubt

No fish for my tea, there's none in the sea
Back up the M5 I did drive
I've just sat down, now in my night gown
Just barely feeling alive

I've been up since 3, my beds calling me
But I'll try and make it all rhyme
The boilers my goal, not another lump of coal
I hope I'm more lucky this time

Boiler draw
 
Who knew plumbers had so much poetry in their souls?!

Lousy soap, with paper sets
I'm obviously a bit older than you, I'm thinking of the one with Noel Gordon in
And the character Benny

It is a film, 2004, film is dated now but if you like Blues music then worth digging out but not easy to find. PS I`m well into my 50`s lol

It helps if you register and say a few words

We don`t just talk plumbing it is one of a few

Or the mods will come knocking and take you to task

Talking of mods there is one best not to cross

He lives far away but his reach it is long
One click of a button and that`s it you will be gone

There are other mods who do sterling work
I also hear they wear a tie and a shirt
But it takes all sorts to make this forum so great
That many drop in during their tea break

There is a man the shopkeeper is how he is known
There is story about bulbs and squirrels for which he is renowned
Now and then he has freebies to give but how he likes to mess with our heads
He teases us and strings it out when really we should be tucked up in our beds

Me I`m not a plumber I made that clear when I signed on the dot
I`ve enjoyed the jokes and the banter plus I`ve learnt an awful lot
I`ve met and shared a drink with a member or two
Which reminds me you never paid and yes I`m talking to you

Winner winner chicken dinner!
 
So here we go for one more week, the regulars, newbies and the ones who never speak
All trying their luck for a freebie to bag, the only exception's you intergas slags

The rules are clear, the games begun
It's got nothing to do with being well hung

You need to be an inter Virgin, and do the training course
And if you keep on fitting Worcester, you're backing the wrong horse

So who will find themselves a winner and who will go without?
Some of you will move on quietly, but others might scream and shout

And was week one and two pot luck?
Or was Raymondo looking for the biggest buck?

I guess we'll never know the truth, it's all a mystery
And in 6 months time and the games restart, it all becomes history

But just remember who's in charge and why this challenge starts
It's all about those crazy Dutch, and a boiler with only 4 moving parts.
 
Incase of any misunderstanding posts 42 & 43 wouldn`t fit as one.
 
Morning all, it's eerily quiet on this thread, what's happening? it's making me nervous
Thought this would be one of the most popular threads on the internet at the moment
