Yes, I’m back on the wall of Crewe Bus Station again, aren’t I? I say this almost every year, but then again it was the traditional greeting that appeared on there every year.
As I have said before too, I learnt all of my Human Biology from the drawings on the walls in there too, and my revision for my Biology ‘O’ Level was accomplished by going for a quick revisit. A Grade 2 pass was well deserved.
English literature, especially poetry, was also learnt and revised there too. I told you about the classic
“It’s no good standing on the seat
“The crabs in here can jump 6 feet
“And if you think that that is high
“Go next door, the b@$t@rd$ fly”
a couple of years ago, but I didn’t tell you about the other old chestnut
“Here I sit
“Broken-hearted
“Spent my penny
“Only f@rted”
which invited the equally-classic retort
“Broken-hearted
“Here I sit
“Tried to f@rt
“Had a $h|t”
Who needs Wordsworth and his blasted daffodils? This is true poetry.
But while we are on the subjecy, not many people know that limbo dancing was invented, not in Jamaica or anywhee similar, but by a Scotsman trying to get into the Crewe Bus Station toilets
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I’ve had the quietest Christmas ever.
Despite something of a late-ish night, I was wide awake at 06:30, which is certainly not like me, and although I managed to stay in bed until 08:30, it was nothing like the long lie-in that I promised myself.
After breakfast, I opened my prezzies. All of my CDs and DVDs from Amazon
I broke my flourescent light ages ago which is a shame because it was ideal for working in spaces where there is no electricity, and I borrowed Terry’s caulking gun when I sealed in the windows that I had fitted and it was absolutely superb.
I’ve also had another present from them but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out about that.
So that’s that. No-one called or phoned me and so I’ve had no interruptions at all. Just a leisurely day of music.
Now, I’m off to bed really early and I’ll see about that lie-in.
