SHHHH! - It´s All So Quiet.

Quiet this week due to the “The kid´s are on holiday so let´s whack up the flights” policy that gets on all our collective “Threpenny bits” here. The best character in the Cumberland Ex-Servicemen´s Club this week is Lindon, a gentleman 80 years of age who Irish dances on one leg – at the drop of a hat. – It used to be two legs but he fell off a roof and damaged the other one (I kid you not). As he explained, it wasn´t quite as bad as it sounds, as he fell off one roof on to another (about 12 foot). Still, it goes down so well that we´re all secretly hoping that his bad leg doesn´t get better.


Must just tell you this, was strolling home from the shop the other day when one of these infuriating Indian blokes who seem to own all the electrical shops over here was as usual touting for trade. He shouted over to a young couple in front of me “Come inside and see my offers!” The young lady inquired of her boyfriend, “What did he say?” – “Don´t know” he replied, “it sounded like “Come ere and see my bollocks”. – They didn´t go inside.
