Forever Autumn

[caddyman]

Autumn seems to have arrived while I was busy pondering other things. Well, it’s about three weeks late – another thing to blame on global warming, the greenhouse effect, Liberal Democrats and/or George Galloway and the war in Iraq, I suppose. These things don’t just happen nowadays; everything has to be blamed on somebody.

Personally I have chosen to blame the boiler man. He won’t come out and look at the boiler at the Athenaeum Club so I have picked him to carry the weight of responsibility for warmer winters and receding ice caps and all that malarkey. I blame him for the pelican that ate the pigeon in St James’s Park yesterday, too. (Not that it’s a slow news day or anything, but the pelican, complete with pigeon poking out of its bill got its photo on the front page of The Times this morning. I know that experts want us to cut back on consumption of North Sea cod, but that is ridiculous.

To welcome and inaugurate the new, appropriately seasonal weather, I seem to have developed a throaty cough and congestion. This is irritating and I suppose that I shall have to nip out to Boots to get something for it before it all develops in to a fully fledged cold. This is separate to the global warming issue and I blame our landlord. The causal chain of misery stretches through the years of zero investment in the Athenaeum Club, to the failure of the lock at the weekend and me getting stuck for two hours in the cold and damp that is Whetstone this time of year.

I’m off for lunch with a former colleague shortly. Pizza, I expect. So much for the diet.

What have you been doing for 3 weeks that has caused you to fail to notice autumn had arrived .....and weren't you saying in August/September that it had turned autumnal ?

The pelican that ate the pigeon in St Jame's park yesterday is a GLA Sponsored Pelican - Comrade Ken has had it genetically modified it Jurassic Park stylee to dispose of flying rats and small tourists...

Is your landlord refunding the dosh you spend on repairing his door lock ? How is that fair ?

Why is Jack Harkness indestructible? doesn't that limit writers ability to place him in peril in future Episodes ? Is Captain Jack the new Captain Scarlett ?

Oh yes and bubbling under at issue 5... DIETS DON'T WORK !

Eat the damn pizza but spend the afternoon running away from meat ating pilicans to burn it off....

1 I may have mentioned that tne calendar was moving into autumn, but the season most definitely wasn't keeping up with events;

2 That would be the Pelican Brief;

3 It is fair that we are refunded because it's his responsibility and £1,200 a month rent entitloes to a basic service;

4 Ask Russell T Davies, but I expect it's a vortex stylee thang;

5 Never said they did.

6 What is an "ating Pilican"?

I don't know what's 'ating' a Pelican...but it's got to be bigger than a pigeon !


What are you 'entitloes' to anyway ?

I'll stop now .....can we just take it as red that you've muttered "stupid boy" under your breath and something shiny has distracted my even shorter attention spa.... oh what's that ?

can we just take it as red that you've muttered "stupid boy" under your breath

I have an icon for that very purpose!

"Entitloes" can either be a Stanley Unwinism, or a typo, whichever you think most likely... ;-)
