Strange questions that sometimes need answering (or not asking in the first place really).

I thought I could manage all my pronouns and stuff, coming from a mixed and varied family, but those ****** geese, jeez...
All that collective noun ****... flock, gaggle, skein, team, wedge.
Even the little sods have their own collective brood.
Can you have a gaggle of goslings, or does it remain a brood?
I need to know for my Christmas cards.

What do I put to my gardner who I pay loads of money to but he regularly claims to be sick, and then I spot him down the local pleasure beach?

I have a response but I am drunk. Bladdered and basted. Will get back to you sometime before Christmas, if I haven't been caught, stuffed and put in an oven.

I must add that I don't do a monthly "charge" regardless of the work done...I charge for each hour worked only.
Self employed,,,throw a sickie, get no payie!
And this gardener is having no season pass, anywhere next year!
...and we are in the ****** Tavern, you are allowed to answer back when ****** (or roasted) in here, it's what it is for!
 
It's Friday the 22nd of December. We have reached the point, in businesses across land where everyone is doing very little, just looking busy. As tight owners across the land refuse to let folk go home early.
 
I am self employed, behind at work with many punters.
My praying for rain and gales worked well.
Outdoors, in these gales, with these knees?
Even the good lady let me off for the afternoon.

If we're in the water we're also collectively known as a paddling. You also forgot a "plump' of geese too. We're quite literary creatures.

You can have a gaggle of goslings, it's only really a brood when they're snuggling around mummy. I personally call a group of goslings little shits, especially around this time of year and they're all honking for your attention.

Also consider a giggle. Not an official term, but I think it captures their youthful energy rather well.
 
I was trying to be a gentleman, wouldn't like to insult a plump goose...just big boned.
Cyclists can "honk" when encouraging others in a streamlined breakaway...in honour of goosey goosey gander.
And Goosey Gander wasn't really anti catholic was he, or related in some way to prostitution?
We need to know.

Goosey Gander is the second coming of Jesus Christ, in goose form, as prophesied (mostly incorrectly) in the book of revelations. Certainly not anti-catholic, but I don't think he cared much for single park minded thoosies, hence throwing them down the stairs.

I assume as the following bit seen in Revelations Psalm 69:

Drinking the blood of Jesus
Drinking it right from his veins
Learning to swim in the ocean
Learning to prowl in His name

Means the geese got fed up with his propagander before Goosey Gander arrived and overthrew Jesus?
 
Dunno about anyone on here. Since Mrs slugjc is at work at will be back around midnight. I'm spending NYE on my own and, I'm glad. Hate doing on anything on NYE. Pubs are rammed, house parties are **** and you can't venture far because getting home will be a *****. I'm all alone with the dog. I'm not drinking. I'm gonna start 2024 with a clear head and some decent kip. I'm 40 this term. Call the mid life

The plan. Play Abe's exodus' till around 10:00. Give the dog her epilepsy pills. Start watching Ghostbusters 2 at 10:27 and wait for midnight when hopefully, I will get venkman saying happy new year.

Happy NEw year to you all on this thread. I don't anyone personally, but, ya all seem sound and would like to one day have a pint with ya's.

In a bit. Ya sausages
