Autumn: Fall II and III

II. Let the indolent seasons turn their way; The orb in space is spinning round the sun and we ourselves our respective lives, live . Time ' from now, this autumn parting, with browning leaves we leave and fly,

Live Surgery!

'What kind of a Surgeon's Assistant are you?' I said to my girlfriend, as we left the house. 'I'm not a Surgeon's Assistant,' she said, as she handed me the keys. 'Hence why I don't have a scalpel.' 'Fair point,' said I, as we trotted merrily on our way to Sainsburys. On the way to Sainsburys, we came upon a junction. A junction with a sign. A sign upon a signpost, attached to which were three other signs, which gave distances and directions to various places. But the sign which our eyes had alighted upon read thus... [ Live Surgery! 2 Miles! This Way! ] 'Live Surgery?' said I. '2 miles?' 'Curious,' said my girlfriend.

The Frying Pan People

" The Frying Pan People " The idea came to us one Summer while we were vacationing on Cape Ann, North of Boston. My Sister in Law, Trish, had occasion to visit a Wahlgreen's Department Store, to make a small purchase. While there, she had the opportunity to observe what we would later dub "Frying Pan People." An overly portly matron, stuffed into tight fitting spandex, was upbraiding her slightly built and shabbily dressed mate. The timid looking male had picked up a metal frying pan for purchase. The solidly constructed female, who had three bags of Dorritos and one each of cheezebits and Potato chips in her arms, let out a high pitched and nasal barrage. "What are you doing with a frigging frying pan, she roared. "We have twenty frigging dollars left and you want to buy a frigging frying pan!"

...and then you hear the familar voice but you can't place the face. watching from the kitchen through the door crack time after time you can never stop just for a minute and when things get good you shy away, too much excitement for one day could start the whole week off bad.

i'd like to know that too

[...]five o seven? take your mind out of the way, it's casuing too much static - don't think just be, that's the old maxim isn't it? [...] intermingled with adverts for expensive cars and cheap perfume, there's something odd in that. emotion that burns bright and then disapears withuot a second glance[...]

My Fellow Conmen...I Salute You!

Anyway, the point is, like most people, I find these phone calls really annoying. But do you know what really bugged me? No, go on, guess...No, what really bugged me was the fact the guy was calling from abroad. Why? It's just that I feel if I'm going to be conned by some guy in a call-centre I would prefer if he...or she...was a fellow Brit. I mean, go on, tell me truthfully is that racist?

However, it is only because of your love and compassion for your children and the strength that you give me why I also find myself on my feet and walking tall.

KATE, IT'S NOT TOO LATE

Short bit of fiction.

Hard and Crazy

Later I went to college and discovered that crazy or not crazy was hard to determine.

Larry & Mick Get Caught Stalking Tony Robinson

Larry & Mick were amateur archaeologists. This will be news to some, but not to others. It will be news to those who have not read previous Larry & Mick stories pertaining to the fact. If you are one of these people, then shame on you! Either way... Larry & Mick liked to watch Time Team . But not for its archaeological content. 'Pah!' they would say. 'How can you dig up a 3000 year old fencepost and claim it represents a cornerstone of civilization?' 'Nice pun there, friend Larry.' 'Thank you, friend Mick.' So no, they did not watch Time Team for its archaeological content.

Dismissed

Dismissed Don't worry; I'm at peace now, Safe inside my pine box, Draped in the flag I fought and died for, Don't pity me, it was my job, I'm a soldier, I replied to my country's call,
Cherry

That's all, I don't think of you often...

I always look for you on NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS. In the identity parade. You'd be the one with the blonde mullet, shaky piss artist's knee tremble.

Journal 13th Sept

Love is a funny business and the Universe has some sense of humour. Bringing me a man who loves me. Just to hold me.

NOT LOVING LOVE MUCH RIGHT NOW

It's a bit bitter!
