THE MISTER CLUB

daddyp — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:23:05 +0000

There are loads of Mister Men from Cool to Rude to Strong From Tickle to Forgetful, the list is very long There’s Mister Topsy-Turvy and Uppity and Bump A Quiet and a Greedy, though there’s no Mr Thump And then there’s one more Mister that we really can’t ignore A title lacking gravitas, it’s really rather poor A person in [...]

IF AT FIRST ….

I do my best, I’m up for the new I’ve even made sculptures with elephant poo I’ve climbed up a hill clutching some brie To see if I could manage to get down to the sea And with abacus, ink and a very large hook I’ve even attempted to write a great book None of it’s worked or been a success So [...]

BRASS MONKEYS

Although it’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey here at the moment, the seagulls are insisting on doing their wooing thing. The noise reminds me of ‘that’ scene from When Harry Met Sally … if Sally had strep. Perhaps, what I had assumed were bird droppings on the new [...]

NOSE VERSUS HAIR

daddyp — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:00:59 +0000

When finding the way I follow my nose If it runs so do I It makes sense I suppose But the girl in the piccy uses her head Til the parting of ways When she loses the thread So I think my way’s best, I hope you agree And I don’t need a mirror I’m completely hands free Which allows me to hold thermos [...]

SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS

So there I was on eBay watching the old Volvo’s roof bars reaching the heady heights of £21 + £15 postage and packing and thinking “Oooo, the PayPal account will be in the black for the first time ever!”. Meanwhile Lo, she is a terrible Goddess was hunched over her computer looking a tad secretive. After [...]

BUTCH RHAPSODY

The story of my life marks my face like a slap I really had no idea I’d suffered so much crap. [Actually, I suspect it’s got more to do with gravity and the lack of a moisturising regime but that doesn’t sound nearly as interesting or manly]

GOING, GOING ….. GONE!

Many years ago Lo, she is a terrible Goddess and I bought a couple of cars at auction. These were the days when the dealers carried around the first mobile phones. The handset was the size of a brick and they used to tow small trailers behind them that held the batteries. A few less ‘many [...]

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

I miss my childhood doctor. You really felt he’d done a proper job after he’d peered into and probed every orifice, depressed your tongue with a wooden spatula leaving a splinter half way down your throat, and then sent you on your way clutching a bottle of medicine that tasted like a combination of nitric acid [...]

CAR STORY – Part 5

daddyp — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:00:39 +0000

Conclusion Lo, she is a terrible Goddess woke up in an efficient mood. “This is ridiculous. Telephone the breakers, tell them to pick up the Volvo, and then take the hire car back. We’re going to buy either the Hyundai, I can use a cushion, or the car at the local dealers. Whoever comes up with the [...]

CAR STORY – Part 4

daddyp — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:00:09 +0000

Desperation. Search radius increased to forty miles. Hours are spent on the interweave. We head North towards London to look at several cars at a particular garage. Unbeknownst to us there are 2 large luxurious Volvos on the forecourt. We sit in them. One has very comfortable leather armchairs for seats with an undergusset heating system. Lo, [...]
