Hi Greg Good to hook up again and thanks for the comment. I've been a bit tied up on other fronts recently and not writing much. Is Steve just be an observer these days? I don't seem to be able to contact him via WOL.

Ahhhh...this is lovely, a great tribute to the big brother. I have one myself, and in between trying to kill him by various sneaky means, I also worshipped the ground he walked on. He, in between trying to kill me, would also defend me to the last, and lamped several people who bullied me as a kid. He also nicked all my fags and threatened to grass me up heh :D
I really enjoyed this Stella :)

Mentally preparing myself for Kendal Calling festival this coming weekend! I was at a rather more civilised festival last weekend held at Hartington YHA and even queuing for the indoor cubicles reminded me of the full horrors awaiting me!

what is it with women and "foreign" toilets ?
and the "hovering" - oh yes, I know :)
a friend of mine was forever on the bog at work, and when I (subtly) pointed this out, he said "Danny, never have a dump in your own time when you can have a dump in works' time" -a lovely poetic thought I've carried with me ever since.

I really don't know how to expand on that line. I just jotted it down like that. In court one day a dad called his daughter a whore as they were walking out and it shocked me to the core. I wanted to capture as much of that shock as possible in the poem. I have no idea why he called her that, so I just tried to write a story around it.
What would you do to it? I really don't know where to go with it and still keep that shocking edge to it, I almost wanted it offensive, I was offended when I heard it.

Ha, nice one alison, you might have liked my Glastonbury no more poem from a while ago - here's a few lines -
well no more chemical toilets
and no more hangovers from hell
no more oceans of piss
and no more rancid smell
so I'll listen on my radio
and lie there in my pit
I really don't feel the need to wade
through this years river of shit!
on that note, cheers Jeff

Greg,
Only just noticed.
You left me a comment - Wigan or Blackpool?
I think the answer is Blackburn. I assume it was about my team's relegation prospects. Doesn't look good for the coming season though.

So true - even just one day's march behind the Miner's Gala banner broken up by a brief 3-hour stay on the festival field with its multitudinous portaloos brought that home to the whole gang a couple of weeks ago!

Good job "he" wasn't Engaged when you got home! Which festival was it? I keep feeling I'd like to go to a festival and I was looking up the people who put your tent up for you, in a place with lovely loos. You can even have a gypsy caravan or a yurt! Bit expensive though.

No, we just pushed them all off the cliff! Actually I was a bit worried this morning cos I heard about 12 sirens blaring. In a village you always think it's someone you know. Glad she's OK whoever she is!
