      That was then, the old women and sticks has returned along with the murrain of beasts.

      It held off long enough to do a bit of tidying up in the garden and once it started I lit a bonfire to get shot of the accumulated vanities.

      And duck & chicken bones that have been gently rotting away for a while.

      My first contract was in Bristol up in Brislington.

      As is usual, the place isn't there anymore.

        You've left a trail of destruction in your wake??

        the scorched and salted earth approach?

          I had to read that twice to realise you said Tucked.

          Brillo and laid. Two words that don’t go together.

            I was in Bristol for a Rutles gig the other year and went past the radio station. All empty. GCap Media got taken over by Global Radio (this was when I was at their Leicester Square studios, having been at Yahoo! Europe in between the stint in the Bristol studios and there) and I believe they’ve switched everything over to robots rather than real DJs, so they only need a broom cupboard containing a server somewhere rather than an office block full of studios now

              'ere. You train users. Question for you. Booked in to quiet carriage down to London. Someone sat in my seat wouldn't move because there were plenty others so I sat elsewhere. By Milton Keynes the carriage was full so had to move to the next one. No biggie really.

              What's the etiquette here though? Make a scene and call the train manager or just sit elsewhere hoping there is a special place in hell for these types of people?

                  As predicted, followed by the last pear, which was not in any as nice as either of the first two.

                  Rounded off with 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie tea.

                  The rain has proved intermittent, but when it gets going it does its best.

                  The fire is still smouldering away down the garden.

                  This is, of course, another feature of my scorched earth policy. <-bonfire

                  Whilst bonfiring I washed the religious jumpers and my worn out cords and have now selected a New Religious Jumper that is considerably less religious that the recently discarded one.

                  I think, however, that I may sew up some of the religiosities to make it last longer*.


                  * Let's face it, I look like a tramp. I suspect many tramps would have turned their noses up at the last religious jumper which consisted of more hole than jumper in some respects.
