Getting Squiffy in the Spa 30-08-2003
- 28 May 2013
Hi Y'all
Leamington Spa that is.
For them wot is a keen observer of the sweet science this was the home of
British Middleweight Champion Randolph Turpin who was the first guy to beat
Sugar Ray Robinson in a world title fight back in about 1950. May have been
a mistake 'cause Sugar Ray beat the crap out of him about 4 months later.

Speaking of mistakes I read in the Times (You should all know by now that I
only read posh broadsheets, they have funnier stories) that some silly
bugger in Russia has managed to get himself engaged to 5 different women. As
you all know, Hell hath no fury etc etc but he may still have survived if he
hadn't made one error too many. All 5 women are lawyers. What a dickhead.
There is some poor kid here who must have made some similar mistake. There
is front wall of a house (I assume it is his) covered in graffiti. It reads "
I hate you Kirton" Bit blunt I thought.
While we are on the frivolous, there was a little girl walking down the
street with a nice, cute pink top on which read "Boys are stupid. Throw
rocks at them!" Jeeez. Can you imagine the outcry from the feminazis if that
was inciting folks to throw rocks at girls? Just because they are stupid?
Even the greenies would protest. There would be no more rocks left!!!
Well, spent a day or so wandering about this little town, quite pretty, nice
parks, but that’s about it.
Drove on down to Stratford on Avon where old Willy Shakespeare is reputed to
have been born, lived & died. Quaint I think is the word you would use to
describe it. Again, nice parks, lots of Tudor houses & about 50 000 000 000
000 000 000 000 000 000 000 (lots) of geese in the river. A fair amount of
swans & ducks as well but, FUCK ME, do those bloody geese make a racket.
Couldn't hear the git in the park pretending to spout poetry for the noise
that they made. Probably a good thing. From what I did manage to catch he
wasn't going to give old Willy a run for his money & he's been dead for
about 400 years. Evolution? What’s that? Not in poetry anyway. Sounded more
like we were crawling back into the slime.

Oz made it back into the news again yesterday. It seems our navy is going to
sink a Uruguayan pirate vessel we captured. That’s what OZ is. Spiders,
snakes, sharks, whales & pirates. Cool Huh?
England lost the forth cricket test with a last innings collapse. Ain't that
a surprise? No? Oh well.
Scott, got the new DP Album, Bananas. Not bad. Bit like a mix between
Purpendicular & that album Gillan & Glover did.
Al, What’s been happening with Souths. You're getting a bit slack on the
updates.
Food situation improving as I push South. Most of it was actually edible
here.
Only 1 more week to heaven. I'm getting a bit fed up & sick of all this
tedious travel one must put up with between racing weekends.
What's that?
You DON'T feel sorry for me?
YOU SELFISH
BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In that case I'm not talking to you anymore.
Until next time.
cheerio
