aww! look at all the pretty lights!

Today's Topic

Getting there slowly with this crazy madness... Damn! Wish I had some millet...

We thought it would be a fun idea to try and distract the kids from shooting each other with fireworks this year, by having a family funfair instead! Yay, we thought, they'll love it, won't they? I mean bouncy castles and popcorn and such, much more fun than trying to kill the police with no chance of being arrested for it... Last year we had two police vans drawing the fire, but it still didn't stop a WPC getting pinned down by a bunch of kids in someone's garden.

And the residents are upset that the area has a bad reputation?

This year was gonna be different. This time it was right, it would work, and no-one would have to get nailed to anything. But even after the hype and the advertising and the getting together with the police, the residents etc, Points West still had to run a story on the fact St Pauls was gonna turn into Baghdad for Bonfire Night. The fair pulled out. The 'committee' had to cancel. The Kids are sharpening up their fireworks as we speak. Yay for the media!

What we will have instead, is a (very small coz they're not stoopid) bunch of mums singing 'we shall overcome' in a hail of big-ass rockets on Tuesday Night, but hey, it won't change much I guess and we will still be here to pick up the pieces.

In other news, my tailfeathers kick ass!

3vil One Reunited?

Walking down the road on Sunday after a fun guitar playing session at my bass player's house, I spot the 3vil one for the first time since The Troubles. We are going to have to walk right past her! Watch out, I say, there's the 3vil psycho bitch From Hell. She is humming to herself, doo-doo-doo and after we pass, the humming changes pitch and I imagine her turning around and pulling faces. I keep straight on walking. I have every right to be here, I am right, she is wrong. She was always wrong. Search for "3vil One" and you will see the full story. Still, my legs are shaking and the adrenaline is pumping as I struggle to get the keys in the lock.

This was the first time since she was screaming at me in the street (see above link) and I guess it's a moment I've had nightmares about ever since, what will she say? She thinks I got her sacked, she HATES me! Thankfully, we survived like grownups. I'm ignoring you P~~~~~~. You see, I always knew this day would come. Now that I know how she'll behave, this distasteful chapter of my life will close. I never have to work with or near her ever again and I don't have to be where she is, thank God.
