Witch Wanted.

[Straw Walker]

I'm sure we have some candidates for this job

Who would you be? Granny W, Nanny O, Magrat or Tiff?

[Tonyblack]

Oh I saw that on another site - a friend of mine who really is a witch, has applied.

[Cheery]

I'll be Tiff!

I'm not anything like her, but the age is about right.

[Tonyblack]

Warlocks!

Bit sexist wanting a woman for the job isn't it?

[Cheery]

A male witch would feel a wee bit odd, wouldn't it?



Imagine: It would be like Nanny Ogg or Granny Weatherwax with a beard.

Says the female dwarf WITH A BEARD!

[Tiffany]

Tony.

Has to be a Hag, the advert says so. I wonder how many men could actually play the part of a hag. Tiff is too young, got to be a Granny Weatherwax type, I think. Nanny Ogg is far too jolly.

"We are witchless at the moment so need to get the role filled as soon as possible," said Daniel Medley from the tourist destination.

ROFL

But really, I'm not sure I'd want to live in a cave in a town called "Wookey Hole". It sounds like an unpleasant orifice on a Star Wars character.

[Jan Van Quirm]

It's not so far from somewhere called Cheddar Gorge - the SW sense of humour possibly.

Anyway Wookey Hole was around long before Chewbacca and we all have to have holes...

[Jan Van Quirm]

Then there's Pratt's Bottom, Elmers End and of course the notorious Wetwang of Countdown fame...

But they're in the SE or up north somewhere...

I mean humans, not dwarves. For a dwarf, it's normal.

Within 10 miles of me are towns called Bird-in-Hand, Blueball, and Intercourse.

[Dotsie]

I used to live near a village called Six-Mile Bottom. Made me giggle every time we drove past it

[chris.ph]

i want to move to intercourse coz every time you drive in your entering into intercourse.
witches and hags are female so wookey hole are advertising for a new ager from the seventies with bad teeth ,long matted hair and plenty of warts sounds perfect for my motherinlaw as long as they dont mind that she cackles in italian

Here's a description of the Witch of Wookie Hole:

Witch of Wookey Hole

The Witch of Wookey Hole is a stalagmite in the first chamber of the caves and the central character in an old English legend. The story has several different versions with the same basic features:

A man from Glastonbury is betrothed to a girl from Wookey. A witch living in Wookey Hole Caves curses the romance so that it fails. The man, now a monk, seeks revenge on this witch who—having been jilted herself—frequently spoils budding relationships. The monk stalks the witch into the cave and she hides in dark corner near one of the underground rivers. The monk blesses the water and splashes some of it at the dark parts of the cave. Catching the witch off guard, the monk splashes the water at the dark corner she is hiding in. The blessed water immediately petrifies the witch, and she remains in the cave to this day.

It was partly down to the legend of the witch that prompted TV's Most Haunted team to visit Wookey Hole Caves and Mill to explore the location in depth, searching for evidence of paranormal activity. The show, which aired on 10 March 2009, was the last episode transmitted in series eleven of the show's run on the satellite and cable TV channel Living.
