Week 606 – ‘A’ Level Guilt, Whit A Voice And Tombstone Was His Best!

Week 606

Another week has gone by. And another week has to be looked at.

And here I am with another pile of pish to annoy you with!!!

My inspiration this week, has been a couple of newspaper stories.

But before we start I’d like to share this.

Again, comments between us made me remember this!! Shit!! Now that I think on it, I better explain – We were discussing Catholicism!!!

Connolly is a total and utter genus!!

I read this week that ‘Hotel California’ was voted the greatest driving song ever. I think that’s a brilliant song, but I beg to differ.

There was also ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ – Brilliant, but not the best ‘Queen’ song and ‘Radar Love’ by ‘Golden Earing’…Maybe a contender???

Probably any ZZTop song or one of my favourites, ‘’The Quo’ could be there…Maybe even ‘Cheap Trick’ or ‘Whitesnake’???

However, It was my brother-in-law who mentioned this one. Years and years, in fact, decades back, I had given George the CD to listen to and I pointed out, ‘Who Do You Want For Your Love’. But he stated that the best driving song ever was this one! I tend to agree! Crank it up before it starts. The beginning is awesome!!!!!!!! I know that I’ve posted this before but what the fuck!! A cracking song should always be highlighted!!!!

How in hell does that wee dweebie looking guy have that voice!!!

…I salute him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something that I read pissed me off. That narrows it down to most of the fucking paper but I enjoy having a reason to rant!

There’s a school in Aberdeen that has decided that they’ll not allow Christmas Cards to be sent out. The kids will send out ‘Winter Cards’. My first point is, in Aberdeen they would need to send out the cards all year round as it’s freezing! John Holmes holidayed there one year and even he would not be seen in Speedos!!!!

A section in the brilliant ‘Boogie Nights’ was based on Holmes and the late great Val Kilmer stared in ‘Wonderland’. That film is also worth a watch.

My second point is that the story stated that it wanted to celebrate diversity. But surely it was ignoring christianity???

I have my problems with all religions, but I hate hypocrisy so you can’t bomb out one to appease another!!!

I read another story that made me think – ‘Only in Scotland!’

There were two folks, in a car, that were pulled over by the Police as they noticed that there was a lamb in the back seat eating a poke* of chips. As they thought this to be a wee bit strange, that was what gave them a reason to stop them. The woman in the passenger seat claimed that she was an apprentice shepherdess. The Coppers had a look around and found, £14,000’s worth of drugs. The lamb wasn’t hurt and was returned to it’s farm. I still don’t know why it was there and why it was eating chips. The cruel part was, with chips, you need a can of Red Cola! (Seek it out folks, if you can find it, you are in for a treat. Oh! Curries Red Cola, not Barrs!!!!)

Oh and the lamb would have been made into chops a few weeks later.

Just a random thought – Does anyone agree that Mr Trump wants to look like a Bald Eagle????

Onto this week’s stories!!!

We had two new writers and three others who I will come to. The newbies…We welcome you and hope that you have fun on the site. And keep writing and keep sending!!

As always, our initial comments follow.

First up was our first new writer, Chaz Osburn with his story, ‘For The Good Of The Company.’

‘This thing is true.’

‘The cynicism is brilliantly relative.’

‘It’s very well done.’

Next up was our own lovely Leila. I’m now needing a wee Chinese kid with an abacus to work out the amount of her stories. (If you are a woke, sensitive cunt…I meant fuck all so get over yourselves and commit suicide!!!!!)

‘When The Railroad Comes’ was the amazing, story number 142 for Leila!!!!!! (I think!! ’cause I aint got a wee Chinese male kid to tote them up – Fucking get over yourselves again!!! I probably did say that to piss you off!! But I do mean – Go and fucking kill yourself!!! To count up her vast amount of stories!!!)

FYI Leila – That was a bastard to punctuate – Thank Diane, as I’m sure she has sorted it!!!!!

On Wednesday we had Robert Reece. This was his third story for us entitled, ‘Minute.’

‘Excellent word play.’

‘I was able to get his mania.’

‘Well, that’s life!!’

Alex Faulkner was next up with his fourth story for us, ‘A Thing About Spiders’.

‘Alex has a genre all of his own.’

‘I love this writer’s individual style,’

‘Excellent. I really enjoy this writer’s imagination’

And we finished off with our last new writer, Danielle Burke and her story ‘Bird.’

‘I like the comeuppance at the end.’

‘This was all about the character.’

‘Really interesting!’

That’s another week over.

Just the usual, sorry to be boring …

But keep on commenting, keep reading and keep submitting!

And please, pretty please, with bells on, say thanks to those folks who comment on your stories.

Just to finish and before some music.

Back to Mr Cowen with a very subtle joke. I asked Leila and she said that there is an equivalent in the states so hopefully this will be relatable???

A slug said to a snail – ‘Want to buy a ‘Big Issue?’

Here’s a song that was played at an old friends funeral last week. We had a lot of heated arguments but I loved and respected the guy. This was his party piece. It normally made me laugh due to its naffness but hearing it at the crematorium destroyed me.

We’ll share another few bottles of Whisky and an argument one day my old friend – RIP Robin!!!!!!!!
