They've got Cat in the
British Museum
Cat doesn't have much time
off, but recently we found him with a free day and asked him where he'd like to go?
"The British
Museum," he replied "They're bringing back the oldies, but this is
ridiculous."
|
"This is rather
crafty- it looks like a ship, but is actually a clock. It's nearly 400 years old, plays a
tune and gun fires on the hour." |
| "Not sure what this is exactly, I
think it is Pete's grandfathers string vest as worn in the Boars War." |
|
|
" 'Y'know those blokes that draw on
toilet walls? This isn't one of those - it's a piece of the wall from the Temple of Jaguar
in Mexico. How's that then?" |
| "This geezer with
what looks like a papoose on his back is actually a 1400 year old warrior from the guard
of the Persian Kings. How about him at the Palace?" |
|
|
"All my own work. D'y' know that if I
sit here long enough somebody'll give me a tip? The charmin creature behind me is actually
a Indian Bird with a 800 year old mini skirt." |
| "This looks like a
giant pocket watch, but isn't. It's a Roman water-wheel worked by slaves and carted all
the way from Spain. Didn't they know about Northern Thames Water Board?" |
|
|
"This, me old
mates is dead gruesome. It's a marble coffin, 1700 years old, depicting the story of Jonah
and the Whale. If they got both of them in there, poor Jonah wouldn't stand much of a
chance, would he?" |
| " Not sure what these are either?
Maybe they are Oscars won by Christians for putting up a good show against the lions. Or a
gold disc for Nero for fiddling while Rome burned?" |
|
|
" This thing I'm sitting on is a
common or garden bench comfy and cozy. Just ideal for a kip, in fact which I am about to
have. Ta-Ta for now." |
