I've just been watching this on TV. China has lent some of those amazing artifacts to the British Museum. The army was created to guard the first Emperor from evil spirits after his death. Just the name Terracotta Army inspires admiration and awe.
I'd be lucky to get a pottery bodyguard.
-
Or a plastic nightwatchman.
-
Maybe a polystyrene babysitter. :(
-
Is that like a chocolate fireguard?
-
I expect the Chinese are sitting there back home now imagining that these magnificent archaeological finds that they've loaned to our principal museum are stimulating intellectual debate on forums across the UK... ::)
-
I'm off to watch that thing about comics on B.B.C. Four so I'm deserting the Teracotta Army for a while.

No, Peepmaster. The Chinese are rubbing their hands with glee; do you know how much it's costing the British to 'borrow' this 'ere army?

So that's why it's so quiet! Does this mean we can mis-spell with impunity? :D

Can you not think up your own way to annoy Mince.
I know its flattering to be copied but would have thought you better than that.

I did not want to bring up the spelling mistake.
You have me worried only today the men repairing my roof asking me if I want some terracotta tiles to finish it off. Odd will I have a soldier on top of my roof.

Soldiers especially like a night on the tiles.

Sorry it will be longer than a one night stand for my Terracotta soldier

He'll be your own Pottery Private.

Peeps, this week's Private Eye has a Terracotta Army gag similar to your original post---and your rubbish appeared two days before the current P.E. hit the streets!

I should have thought of it 2 weeks ago and sent it in. never had a gag in P.E. We're probably not a good fit. I do buy it now and again though. I might buy a copy and send it back to them with a note saying "Sorry, not quite..."

Roger, have a look at Cartoonists.co.uk (http://www.cartoonists.co.uk) and click on the Daily Cartoons link down on the left. Take a look at Matt's gag today.
-
The only gag I could find was about a rhino----not what you meant, I presume!
-
Here's the direct link for blind people: http://www.cartoonists.co.uk/openingpages/dailycartoon.html
(Yes, I know (hope) you were joking.)
-
That's the gag I saw but it's neither by Matt or about the terracotta army. Me confused.

Come on, Roger. You must remember when Watership Down came out: you've read the book; you've seen the film; now eat the pie!........ You've seen the army, now see the....... ;D
-
I've a feeling Roger can't actually see the cartoon in question for some technical reason beyond me.
Maybe this will help...

It's more likely some technical reason beyond Roger.

And I know that "or" was a typo, before you end up in the soup with Mince (see what I did there?).
-

Why does everyone think of me as a grammar curmudgeon?
By the way, Tarquin, that should have ended: ... in the soup with Mince. (See what I did there?)

Because you are a curmudgeon, grammatically or otherwise!

TTTHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPP!!!
No ???
In the soup with Mince...mince soup..."or" typo...nor...nor mince soup...play on words with misspelling thrown in...Peter will get it.
I've lost the will to live.

Roger - there should be TWO gags appear on that page. I'm concerned if you're not seeing them both!
I need to ask people with PC's whether the Google strip of adverts shows on the front page too. My version of Internet Explorer doesn't show them for some reason, but it's an old version. They stopped updating it for Macs a few years ago when Apple brought out their own integrated Safari browser. I prefer Firefox by the way. The Google ads show in both those browsers.
The second cartoon, which Roger cannot see, is from a Google widget, so it maybe is that I.E. won't show anything from Google.
-
I have the 1995 issue of the National Geographic, that shows the terra-cotta army, in my bathroom in the magazine stack. Small world eh?
-
I checked again, Nige, but nope----I can only see the rhino gag. I'm wearing slippers. Could this be affecting my Google widget?

Peepsie, I'm using Firefox on my laptop, and I also have IE 6.0 as a back up (and on the few occasions I've used it in the past year, it really has got my back up...see what I did th--- never mind). The Google ads appear in both.

It must be a small world if your bathroom is in the magazine stack.
-

Are they tartan slippers, Roger - that's crucial? Also, do you have stick-it memos covering large parts of your screen?

You're relentless and unforgiving, Mincey. That isn't intended as a compliment, though no doubt you'll take it as one.
-
I'm amazed the terracotta army was (a) in her bathroom, and (b) there was a picture of it in a magazine.
-
You're relentless and unforgiving, Mincey.
Yes, I must admit that I am feeling generous today.
-

I would have done that gag if she had not used parenthetic commas. Notice that, unlike Peepmaster, I do show some restraint.

Yes, but he just guesses.

Even terracotta armies have to be bathed.

I won?t tell you now what else I have in my bathroom ? you grammatical nit-pickers!

As well as terracotta leggies, of course.

You go where the laptop goes Mincy

You use your laptop in the bath?

Right with you babe.

Goes in the WC as well.
