Week 243 – Greasy Pies, A Bloody Birdie And Hiding Tom Of Finland’s Toys.

gwencron

Well here we are at Week 243.

I was watching The World Athletic Championships on Sunday.

Qatar doesn’t do spectator sport very well. The final of the Woman’s 100 meters was a brilliant race and it did your heart proud to watch the athletes perform to the best of their abilities. What didn’t make me happy was watching the winners do a lap of honour for around 27 people. At one point there were more people on the track than were watching. This was a travesty.

And following on from Week 241, here we are at Week 242.

That number is a palindrome.

That’s not very interesting but it makes you wonder why palindrome is spelt that way.

The weeks are fair flying by, it won’t be long until we’re all fossils with only a few printed pages of our stories to remind the world that we had been here.

As you can read, I’m in a happier mood than normal as I write Week 239!

Week 237 – Empty Shops, Eternal Drinking And Three Big Baws For Your Granny

gwencron

Another week has rolled into the distance and here we are at Week 237.

My home town has now over 150 empty shops, that is very sad.

Off the top of my head, I can think of at least twenty pubs that aren’t here anymore and that is even sadder.

I miss all the pubs and one shop. ‘Drawrite’, was a stationers.

Week 236 – A Gang You Don’t Want To Be A Leader Of, A Stephen Lynch Song And Non-Specific Perving.

gwencron

Well here we are at Week 236.

This is one of my favourite weeks as it is ‘Bonnie Baby’ competition week in my local press. Please don’t think that I’ve been influenced by the duet of Gadd and Harris’s ‘Two Little Boys I Love You Love’.

I like to study all those angelic faces and try to work out which ones will become serial killers and which ones will leave their elderly parents in a puddle of urine?

Week 235 – Ignored Annoyances, 5 Years Looming And A Saturday Special

gwencron

It is a sad time when there is more horror in reality than there is in any of our imaginations.

Our thoughts go out to anyone caught up in the atrocities in Ohio and Texas.

Another seven days bites the dust, so this must be posting number 233.

I didn’t need to look very far for my inspiration this week, it came from working on the emails.

Week 232 – Automated Help, Proud Weaknesses And Bewildering Sex Parts.

gwencron

Seriously folks since I wrote the posting last week I can’t begin to count how many more AI stories we have received. We’ve had to automate our system with DYARL He / She / Whatever is our dyslexic counting IA. He / She / Whatever tells us that we have had 11 stories in but it may actually be 11.
