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!
