Munday's Chylde

[Virtually Perennially]

... is fair of face (and of course funnier than Rats),

Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child is loving and giving,

Saturday's child works hard for a living,

But the child  that's born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.



Well, I'm one of the latter. Good and gay, bonny and cly- blithe. Well I'm definitely a blithe one, and none of the other days gets any closer to summing me up. And Rosco's definitely a Thursday, but then so is any newborn. How about you? Just for fun, mind. Answers on a postcard.


10,000 year calendar clicky.

[butnut]

Hmm, full of grace. And I like cricket. I'm just glad WG died 60 years before I was born.

[european son]

Thursday's child has far to go,

that's me, 26/08/82,

David Bowie - Thursday's Child

Thursday's Child

All of my life I've tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same

Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two

[CHORUS]
Throw me tomorrow
Now that I've really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow
Everything's falling into place
Throw me tomorrow
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow
Only for you I don't regret
That I was Thursday's child

Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was
Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was
Thursday's child

Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet

Lucky old sun is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms

[CHORUS]

[king mob]

Monday 6th Feb 1967.


I never realised i was born on a Monday!

[TraceyQ]

I was a sunday baby, me.

[sore bottom mum]

I'm a Thursday as well (24/3/77), and don't get all excited european son, this doesn't mean you're in any way like me at all.

[mook]

A friday boy here. Loving and giving apparently, I think that's about right; absolute sweetheart me.

[Rubbish Monkey]

I'm a member of the Monday club. Which i also never knew until now.

[Morrisfan82]

Being born on a Saturday, I can categorically state that that poem is a tissue of lies.

About 1:30pm apparently. Saint & Greavsie was probably on.

[Ambient Sheep]

<Vince> Tuesday. </Vince>

Which I knew.  As is Torty, which I didn't.

[big dogs cock]

The first of many times I could be found dribbling sobbing and covered in blood on a friday night.

Giving, me? I don't think this system is at all scientific.

[fanny splendid]

Sunday 28th October, 1973.

That poem's just plain wrong...

[falafel]

Friday.

Mmm...

No.

[Vermschneid Mehearties]

Friday's child is loving and giving

Heh. Depends who I'm with.

[wasp_f15ting]

Friday's child is loving and giving

Mwahhaha... right.

[Virtually Perennially]

What do you mean it's shite? I mean, take Wednesday. Woensdag in dutch, which always relates pretty strongly to Old English. See what they've done? Alright then ...


Monday's child is funnier than Rats

Tuesday's child likes wearing an hats !!1!1

Wednesday's child will never wed

Thursday's child will shit the bed

Friday's child will blow his wages

Saturday's child will hurt for ages

But the child that's born on the Sabbath day is just like falafel. That OK?

[fanny splendid]

But the child that's born on the Sabbath day is just like falafel. That OK?

So this the American meaning of the word, 'fanny', then?

[falafel]

But I was born on a Friday...
And I am bad with money.
I think it works better. I'm neither bonny, blithe, nor good.

[mook]

Yep, the new friday thing is a touch more accurate for me as well.

[Hairy Chin]

20 June '81
Saturday's child works hard for a living

Ha! It's hard work earning a living, but that's it.

[Johnny Yesno]

Oh, woe is me!

[gazzyk1ns]

Monday's child will divorce

Tuesday's child won't last the course.

Wednesday's child likes his beer

Thursday's child will turn out queer

Friday's child will become rich

Saturday's girl will be a bitch

Sunday's child won't get born at all because our lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross for all our sins forbids any activity on the sabbath and therefore thy wife must keep shut until Monday.

[european son]

I'm a Thursday as well (24/3/77), and don't get all excited european son, this doesn't mean you're in any way like me at all.

it takes more than a one-in-seven coincidence to excite me, sore bottom mum. i did think that you were about 24... the fact that you're 27 is a touch more worrying.

incidentally

Saturday's child works hard for a living,

But the child that's born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

tschhhh....forget the queers born on Sunday, as the Tentacle no doubt knows, Saturday is the Sabbath day, and anyone working hard on that day should be stoned with stones and what not.

[Joy Nktonga]

As one of Thursday's children I'm not doing very well out of this am I?

[blue jammer]

March 8 1973, Thursday << I hate Thursdays, they're rubbish, I'd rather it were a Friday, still, wasn't far off..

I had a rummage and no one of interest was born then, feh.

[Rats]

I'm bonny and blithe, and good and gay, and funnier than munday's.

[Lt Plonker]

Saturday 17th March 1984

I'm working hard now, but not for a living. Give it two years and we'll see how I compare then.

[Darrell]

Tuesday 29th October 1985

I am the least graceful thing on the planet, and that includes an overweight alky hippo attempting to walk across a cotton tightrope suspended above a big crate of kitchen utensils.

[Jet Set Willy]

I'm a thursday too. There seem to be lots. But fuck it, these things happen in statistics.

[12 years, 11 months old]

I am the least graceful thing on the planet, and that includes an overweight alky hippo attempting to walk across a cotton tightrope suspended above a big crate of kitchen utensils.

Rather than 'gracefulness', it's a reference to 'God's Grace', which is traditionally defined as 'the gift of god for our eternal salvation' which (in Catholicism) is conferred through the sacraments.

I am also a Tuesday's child, but at the moment I'm full of the local brew and pointless christian pedantry.
