....she 'ad the big bug eyes
the death ray glare
feet like waterwings
purple 'air


What a man.
I still find myself, when I'm in mid rant about the state of our public transport, slipping seamlessly into

the bloody trains are bloody late
you bloody wait and bloody wait
a bloody bloke got bloody stabbed
waiting for a bloody cab


In a near tragic incident, I almost ran him over in Edinburgh a few years ago. I was indulging in a bit of Sweeney style tyre chirping around the back streets when The Spidery One popped out of a doorway like a champagne cork. He was dressed exactly as you would expect, I missed him by a hairs breadth, he reeled around and shot straight into a pub. It was Festival time and I suspect he may have been on an afternoon session, thank God I didn't get Kung Phooied. My fave album- Snap Crackle and Bop. I'd never have forgiven myself if I'd killed the b*stard.
Thanks for the link Andy, I'm amongst the vinyl already.
H

In the version I read of Trains, it's not "bloody" he's saying I can assure you. Is this an all too rare bit of literary diplomacy H?

And thank God you never ran him over, it would have been a right unpleasant job picking tufts of gelled up, permed up, dyed up hair out the grille. And I wonder what his last words would be? TWAT! maybe?

Mind, the idiot shoulda looked where he's going. Really, some people!

We stepped out, tentacle in hand
You could tell that the earthlings wouldn't understand
They'd go, "nudge nudge", when we got off the bus
"It's extra-terrestrial, not like us"
And "It's bad enough with another race, but, f**k me, a monster from outer space.

He's almost Shakespearian in his prose and horrendously under-rated. Perhaps future generations of scholars will study his works in school - it would make English Lit a bit more fun than "Once more into the breach, dear friends...."

And just think if you'd murdered him H.......

In closing, William Shakespeare walked into a pub and the landlord said, "Get out, you're barred".

Matt, in honour of you Northerness. Yes I know Burnley is Lancs but Batley and Keighley, your part of the world I think? Is this why you now live in the Big O?

Burnley:

I'll tell you now and I'll tell you firmly
I don't never want to go to Burnley
What they do there don't concern me
Why would anybody make the journey?


I'll tell you know and I'll tell you flatly
I don't never want to go to Gatley
I don't even want to go to Batley
Where is that place exactly?


Do I wanna to go to Redditch?
I wouldn't visit in a souped-up sheddish
What am I some kind of Nebbish?
No I don't want to go to Reddish


I'll tell you now and I'll tell you briefley
I don't never want to go to Keighley
I'll tell you now, just like I told Elsa Lanchester...
I don't ever want to go to... Cumbernauld

Aye, lad, there's nowt wrong with Batley or Keighley tha' knows.
(Actually, Keighley is f**k*ng horrendous, but we have to keep up the facade). In reality, I lived in a rather genteel part of W. Yorks called Baildon - not quite the dark satanic mills - more Audi A6 and lunch at the golf club.
My relocation had little to do with the squalor of Bradistan. The boss sent me over here to do a trade show and forgot to order my return to th'mill.
Didn't JCC do a number called, "The Hanging Gardens of Basildon"?

I used to live in Denholme , just at top of hill from Keithley, What a lovely part of the world, I still return once a year to re-cycle my lungs.

He did indeed:

Bluebirds sang our favourite tune
That scented summer's afternoon
When the shadows vanish and the flowers swoon
It's her sweet smile what dazzled 'em
By the, er, Hanging Gardens of Basildon

So long Charlene, see ya Shirl'
I'm stronging it with an Essex girl
One of the several wonders of the world
Turn left at Dagenham
For the, er, Hanging Gardens of Basildon

The Red-Wood Forest is a bunch of sticks
The Wall of China is just a pile of bricks
The Pyramids mean less than nix
It's the A-13 I travel on
To the Hanging Gardens...

I beg your pardon?
I said the Hanging Gardens...
Of Baden-Baden?
No...
The Hanging Gardens of Basildon

I once found myself in the middle of a rather unpleasant punch-up in The Five Flags at Denholme, but you're right, Robbo, it's a wonderful part of the world. I very much miss the dramatic scenery of the Pennines and the Dales. The highest point in FL is only about 200ft above sea level and in the area I live in, it is as flat as a fart.

Ecky thump.

That's original. Socio-demographic profiling a speciality of yours, is it, Andy? You are clearly a bigot with a dead pig fixation.
I would have taken your views on the quality of George Formby's art seriously, had you not admitted to being a Jack Douglas fan.
And what do you get if you cross George Formby with Eddie Murphy?
......."Turned out nice again, Motherfucker".

No I'm a pig with a dead bigot fixation. I was flamin' you bro and up north is lovely, in fact I'm going there next week.

Just to kiss and make up in cyber sort of a way, here are Peter Kay's Universal truths:


1)Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones.
2) At the end of every party there is always a girl crying.
3) One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronised with a complete stranger.
4)You're never quite sure whether it's OK to eat green crisps.
5)Everyone who grew up in the '80s has entered the digits 55378008 into a calculator.
6)Reading when you're drunk is horrible.
7)Sharpening a pencil with a knife makes you feel manly.
8)You're never quite sure whether it's against the law or not to have a fire in your back garden.
9)Nobody ever dares to make cup-a-soup in a bowl.
10)You never know where to look when eating a banana.
11)It's impossible to describe the smell of a wet cat.
12)Prodding a fire with a stick also makes you feel manly.
13)Rummaging in an overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball.
14)You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses.
15)Everyone remembers the day a dog got into their school.
16)The most embarassing thing you can do as a schoolchild is call your teacher mum or dad.
17)Some days you see lots of people on crutches.
18)Every bloke at some stage, while taking a pee, flushed halfway through, and raced against the flush.
19)Old women with mobile phones look wrong.
20)It's impossible to look cool whilst picking up a frisbee.
21)Driving through a tunnel makes you excited.
22)You never ever run out of salt.
23)Old ladies can eat more than you think.
24)You can't respect a man who carries a dog.
25)There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got your hand or head stuck in something.
26)No one knows the origins of their metal coat-hangers.
27)Despite constant warning, you've never met anyone who has had their arm broken by a swan.
28) The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug.
29)People who don't drive slam car doors too hard.
30)You've turned into your dad the day you put aside a thin bit of wood to stir paint with.
31)Everyone had an uncle who tried to steal their nose.
32)Bricks are horrible to carry.
33)In every plate of chips there is a bad chip.
34)Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Fret not, I'm not easily offended - as well you know.The universal truths quoted are from a slightly different Peter Kay(e) - he's the intellectual one, who wrote 'A Year in Provence' and worked for some nancy London ad agency (Bingle, Bongle, Bogart and Beauregard or summat).
Bolton's own Peter Kay's words of wisdom are a little more basic, but still as true:
"It's that fine rain.... it soaks yer through"
"We're doin' it! Here we are at t'top o' t'tower - living the dream"
"I had this epiphany - like on the road to Domestos"
"I was in this chip-shop down south and they didn't do gravy. I says, "Has tha' nowt moist?"
"Why do mums always buy crap cola?"
"Our first video was a Ferguson Videostar - had to take t'front room window out to gerrit in't bloody house"

OOhh fook, you're right. I'm stunned that your list of trueisms comes from the same man. I stand corrected and humbled, you smug git.
