Whistling....

[gothic]

Just got myself a shiny new whistling kettle for the hob, works perfectly except that when it's boiling, and I lift it off the hob it lets out a shriek like I'm strangling the cat! Must wake the neigbours.

You and your modern gadgets!

Strangling a cat???? Are you sure it isn't playing bagpipe music??????

I don't have a whistling kettle but I do have a Whistling Window Cleaner sort of a cross between Tom Good in the Good Life and the Flying Scotsman

I take it you have strangled a cat to know what it sounds like.!!!!!!

I'm a shiny tea maker
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out

I hate whistling, I've got Hyperacusis so it's painful to me. I'm such a joy to be around, people can't whistle, can't wear perfume, can't burn smell candles and can't use plug in air fresheners because I'm also allergic to certain smells.

If its a Russian kettle then that's how they sound.

Horses don't care about your state of dress or lack of thereof.

Unfortunately the Cooper's and Walsh's of this world do and we don't want Tony to be locked up and risk having the site offline

It is a statement used in an old play . Her ladyship is telling off an amorous suitor. It was just a little joke which I thought suited Gothic' s post !

There is a another verse to this sung by someone standing with both arms akimbo (against their waist) rather than one raised like a spout and one against their waist.
it goes like this:



Here's my handle
Here's my ...
Oh no
I've turned into a sugar bowl!!

....maybe that's the REAL reason the cat was screaming...?
