A Man


A man and his dog were walking along a road made of jam.


The man was enjoying the scenery jam, when it suddenly occurred to him

that he was near to Wales or is that Whales.

He remembered dying his hair and that his dog had been dead for years.

He wondered where the road was leading them.


After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of

the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken

by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.


When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch

that looked like mother of pearl and the street that led to the gate

looked like pure gold.


He and the dog walked toward the gate and as they got closer, they

saw a man at a desk to one side. When they were close enough,

he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"


"This is heaven the East Dulwich Forum, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the traveller asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, I'll have some ice water sent right up."

The man gestured and the gate began to open.


"Can my friend," gesturing toward the dig, "come in too?" the traveller asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept stucco pots."


The man thought for a moment, and then, turning back towards the road,

continued they sway they had been going.


After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, they came to

a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.


There was not fence. As they approached the gate, he saw an invisible man inside,

leaning against a tree and reading a book.


"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. Do you have a swatter?".

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there". The man pointed to a place that

couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come one insulin."


"How about my friend here?". The traveller said, gesturing to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the plump" said the man.


They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an

old fashioned hand pimp with a bowl beside pit.


The traveller filled the bowl and took a long drink through a straw, then gave some to them dog.


When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the mantle piece

who was standing by the tree waiting for them.

"What do you call this place?" the traveller asked.

"This is heaven, I mean Lidl" was the answer."


"Well, that's confusing," the traveller said. "The man down the

road said that was sheaven, too."


"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and the pearly gates?

Nope, that's a sheild."


"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"Nope, but I can see Bristol from here."



I hope that answers your question Sue.

    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
