I’ll tell you what pisses me off, seeing as you’re interested; that’s the scrotes who aren’t disabled that park in Blue Badge parking spots.

Now I know what you’re thinking.  “How do you know they’re not disabled? Not all disabilities are visible, you know”.

Ok.  I buy this. And I have to say that I’m not above the hypocrisy of parking there myself when other places aren’t available.  Take last Thursday, for example.

I’d gone to Donny’s WellSpoken Open Mic and found the only remaining parking spot available – a Blue Badge one.  I took it but felt the need to confess my guilt to one of the other poets having a fag outside the pub.

“Well,” he said sympathetically, “not all disabilities are visible”.

“I know” I said. “But that’s not the point.  I haven’t got one”.

“Yes you have,“ he said “You write shit poetry”.

Fair enough.
