Cross, Hussy and fag end

10 August 2012

Since we moved here at the end of June we haven't heard a peep out of the flat above us.  Some of the neighbours have said that the guy who was supposed to be living there wasn't doing so.  Well, there's someone in there now, we've heard them moving about in there the last two days - but there hasn't been a lot of noise, just the normal cleaning and living sounds, like the toilet being flushed and so on.  However, I went out to speak to one the neighbours and on the way back into home I found an O2 sim card and a roll-up dog end outside our door.  I hope we don't get a lot of that going on!

So what has been going on with the town just lately then.  To start with we got up to a pile of mail and a card from Royal Fail to say that there was an item to be signed for.  Jan is fuming over it seeing as she was up and about when he arrived and he didn't ring the door bell or knock the door.  I call them Royal Fail for a reason, now you might understand why.

The Town Hussy is in the News again.  Who is it?  Well George Eliot or Mary Ann Evens to give her real name.  Why they rave about her I just don't know.  I find her books very hard work.  But now the George Eliot Fellowship is trying to get some old buildings at the rear of where Evens was born saved from demolition and turn them into a visitor centre, or Pilgrimage Centre as the News says.  My giddy arm hole!  The things folks come up with.  At least it won't be my dosh they will be using!

I reported earlier on Poundland taking over the old M&S store.  Well, it now transpires that the current Abbey Street store will continue as it is and we will have two Poundland stores within 400 meters of each other.  Again, it's not my dosh they will be using!  Why we need two of them in such a small area is beyond me.

Today's photo then is ... 

The Dorktown Hussy. 

And a funny ...

Mother Superior and Sister Mary are driving into town one day when all of a sudden there is a thud on the car bonnet. The devil has appeared and is clinging onto the windscreen wipers and will not let go. He is swearing at the nuns. Sister Mary says to Mother Superior, put the wipers on, he'll fall off. Mother Superior does so but the devil manages to hang on. Sister Mary says swerve quickly to the left then to the right that should shake him off. Mother superior does this but still the devil hangs on.
Put the brakes on hard, that should work. Mother superior jumps on the brakes but still the devil hangs on. Sister Mary then says, "I know what will work, show him your cross.
Mother Superior leans out of the side window and shouts "PISS OFF"
