Oh ground, swallow me up


On Thursday I went to see Mickey Flannigan play a small warm up gig at the Hob in Forest Hill. Very funny indeed he is; except there was a relentless heckler very near to the mic, which made it worse.


She was awful, screeching out half way through a story, it got so bad that Mickey F had to pull her up quite hard.


"Listen love, if you keep butting in it will ruin it for everyone & the crowd will turn on you" which they duly did and she pretty much kept a lid on it from there on in.


Whilst there I bumped into my son's football coach who also teaches at his school, he's a young guy and very personable.


"Yeah, me and a few mates are here, we love mickey" he said.



Anyway, that was that and this is now.


So, this morning we go to the football training as usual & I see the coach.


"Hello, how are you, did you enjoy the comedy" I enquired


"Yeah, great fun, how about you"


"Well, apart from that god awful woman shouting out, yes. I could have strangled her though"


"That was my Mum" he said



(ah.......anyway, the training went well:-$)



Am I the only one to do this kind of thing?



Nette:-S

A few years ago I did something very similar...


On a bus one day...


The female bus driver was refusing to let (very young) children on without passes and sitting there obdurately with her arms folded not going anywhere until they got off. It was a hot day and I'd seen her do this before, three or four times. Very annoying if you had to get somewhere. Anyway, when she turned the engine off I turned to the twenty something chap sitting next to me and shaking my head said 'She's unbelievable this driver, she does this all the time, tut tut, what's her problem?'

And he says' 'Yeah, I know, shes like this at home.'


'What?' I said.


'I live with her.'


'What?'


'She's my mum.'


Yes folks, he was just going for a ride with his mum.

At a wedding (aged 14) I asked my Aunt Dorothy, 'Who is the bloke in the demob suit?' 'That's your Uncle Bob,' she replied with a laugh.


I went as red as a bus and ran away.


I think Bob must have just got out of prison because I swear I'd never seen him before.

I've done similar. An ex-girlfriend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while turned up at one of my local watering holes back in the day. She'd put on quite a few pounds and I was a bit tipsy and I said something along the lines of "Hello darling, blimey are you pregnant, when's it due?" "No, she said almost bordering on tears. "I've been very depressed recently and I'm on anti-depressants and they have made put on a lot of weight." I'd have been quite happy to have been swallowed up by the earth right then. Doh!

I got set up by a mate in my village when I was just of drinking age:


Mate: "KK, go and ask Carl if his sister is any good at ballet, he's a right laugh when you ask him that!".


KK: "Huh ?! what's that all about then ?"


Mate: "Seriously, he seems a bit of a loner but check him when he tells you ALL about his sister !"


KK(stupidly): "Hey Carl, is your sister any good at ballet then ?".


Carl: "You taking the piss KK ?"


KK: "No mate, is she good or what ?"


Carl(literally while KK hangs from the wall held up by the throat, choking slowly): "My sister has little stumpy legs because she was born with Thalidamide, so no she's shit at ballet. And now you're going pay for that".


KK: "No, no, you got it all wrong ask my mates they told me to ask you... uuuuurrrghhhhhh..."


..mates eventually talk Carl down but I was truly throttled, Carl would have near-killed me. Touchy bastard.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
