A quikie ...

8 February 2012

My musing today will be short because Jan and I are off to the Merry Hell shopping centre t'ther side of Brum.  It's been ages since we were last there so it's time we went back.  We both fancy going out for a few hours and its far too cold to go birding right now so the Merry Hell it is.

Front page of the News this morning has the story of a woman who has been found dead in her flat under mysterious circumstances.  Rumours are spreading that she has been the victim of a dog attack, the dog is owned by a another resident in the same block of flats.  That points back to what I wrote a few days ago about dogs yet again.  Another story in the News is about a prolific shoplifter who has been banned from most of the town centre shops.  He has been stealing large numbers of high value items and has been targeting a number of particular shops.  Now he's been given a CRASBO - which is a Criminal ASBO ... which seems strange to me seeing as I thought ASBOs were given to criminals in the first place.  Whatever ... the man's name hasn't been released for some reason, which is a shame cos I bet I'm not the only who is itching to know who this sticky fingered man is!

So I need to choose a photo for today ... seeing as it is the Chinnes year of the dragon, how about this one ... 

I found it hanging on the shop front in Camden, London.

Last night the Sage sent me this ...

The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon “quickie” with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Mars Bar and tell him to report on all the Street activities. 

Their 8-year old began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
'There's a car being towed from the parking lot,' he shouted.  'An ambulance just drove by!'  'Looks like the Anderson 's have company,' he called out.
'Matt's riding a new bike!' 'Looks like the Sanders are moving!'   'Jason is on his skate board!'  After a few moments he announced, 'The Coopers are having a shag!'

Startled, his mum and dad shot up in bed!  Dad cautiously called out, 'How do you know that?'   Cause, 'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Mars Bar.'
