  5. Nick, that's a good'un!

    Reminds me of a chum who used to get in his cups, and quote...

    "My Scout is out; he is never in, he looks so pale and thin!"

    And we all wept into our pints for some reason or other...

    Do you know that one?

  7. I have wept into my pint many a time and oft, Scobs (most recently during an episode of The Thick Of It)

    but never on account of that one

    I am probably being thick myself

  10. Nick, extensive research over a period of several days, (five minutes Google), has shown the poem to be thus...

    " My scout
    Is out.
    My scout is never in.
    I am growing very thin,
    And pale--"

    It was apparently a parody by John St. Loe Strachey which he wrote when he was at Balliol.

    So there we have it!
