Thought For The Week
Daag mee y thie lhionney s'girroo 'sy Jiass.
[I left the roughest pub in the south.]
Haven't Got The Foggiest!
It never rains but it pours ..... Actually, I don't think it rained last
Sunday but it was hard to tell, what with all the fog!
The sambanauts went ahead with their world record attempt on Porthmeor Beach.
I think. It was difficult to tell under the circumstances. Anyway there were
official witnesses (namely Mayor Harry 'Kari' Isaacs and Police Officeress Trudi
Pitts) so no skullduggery should have taken place.
We now have to wait several weeks for the Guinness peeps to confirm whether
the world record was broken (don't ask me why, perhaps they are slow counters).
Keep the Sprogs Locked Up
Yet further proof that god does not like ems with children. After an August
full of fairly naff weather, no sooner do the little buggers get re-incarcerated
in skool than .....
Told you you should avoid the skool hellidays. The weather has been
absolutely fantastic this week. The sun was out, the sky was blue and there
wasn't a sprog to spoil the view.
So, if you want to enjoy yourself next Summer you know what to do!
A Matter Of Life And Death
The St. Ives lifeboat has been in and out like the proverbial fiddler's elbow
this last week or so. Between them the big boat and the little boat (aka the
all-weather and the inshore boats) were launched 12 times in 7 days. Amongst
other rescues they had to fish ems off the rocks between Porthminster point and
Cardboard Bay for the fourth time this Summer. Clearly, the ems are getting
dumber every year. Maybe we should reinforce the warnings by letting the next
lot drown. You'd think twice about carelessly wandering around the rocks if
there was a flock of human skellingtons on them, wouldn't you?
Anyway, should you be visiting the burg kindly remember that the people
rescuing you are unpaid volunteers and the RNLI is completely unfunded by the
government. So, if (as appears to be the case) you have some surplus cash to
blow, give it to the lifeboat not some non-resident dole-swindling hairbraider
or free-loading drop-out.
Enjoy The Silence
Winwaloe definitely seems to have buggered off, thank gawd. We have been
celebrating with some particularly silly e-mu correspondence this week .....
because we can.
