I spent from 9.30 till 11.30 haggling over the contents of my wee boys bedroom which had been damaged, in the flood. After producing evidence via the internet. They settled on £2100. And a cheque was distributed (apparently) I am really happy for my long suffering lil boy. whose been sleeping on bare boards, in a bare bedroom, for 5weeks.
A taxi pulled up at 12 to whisk me off to my SDS work,(ey i sound like Cinderella) And they were all new faces, so hadn't heard of my long....and ey...this guy who suffered from a type of narcolepsy had a 'turn' during my talk...I lol on the inside. But Anna something was a pleasure, because she was really positive, well everyone was really positive and I enjoyed today.
I went into the canteen today, and all the cooks had seen pride Of Britain, and Calendar, which was nice and giddy. Infact one of the Teaching Support Staff - Jill, offered to take me to Meadowhall nearer the time, and get me kitted out. But I really want a hat with a Tricycle on it.
I feel an insy bit resenthul, ever so insy, that so many folk want a piece of my positivity, but aren't prepared to put 'their' money where my mouth is. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, because I loved today, but Social Services, like to parade me, when it suits.

ReplyDeleteI just read the bit about burlesque.
Oh dear.

Can't you charged Social Services for appearances now that you are a celeb?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what bit You've read Pete, but it sounds ideal, I've dropped them a line anyway. Have I wildly missed s'thing????
ReplyDeleteBilly, yesterday was cool, because I get picked up from home, taken to the College, in time for lunch. Assist in the Classroom, for 2.5 hours, and returned home. AND I get £45 for the pleasure :) I wish all of the SS valued me as much.
"Creations for burlesque performers are our speciality" in the text I pasted.
ReplyDeleteCould you get SS to give you the taxi fare and then cycle in? Just a thought.

Pete - Caroline has the 'attitude' and the curves - but rather like Eric Morecambe's piano playing - all the right notes but not necessarily in the right places.
ReplyDeleteRemember too (as in the "We never closed" Windmill) if you move it's porn if you keep still it's art!
I'm glad I don't understand that????????? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's terribly complementry
Hey Dave, I should duck if I were you - that piano's likely to be flying your way!
ReplyDeleteC, the B word seems to have conjured up some distant memories for Mr H... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlesque :o)
I looked it up on Wiklopedia, and while I think Pete was trying to be helpful, I think Dave, you were being a bit rude and personal weren't you?
ReplyDeleteThanks
By the 1880s, the genre had created some rules for defining itself:
ReplyDeleteMinimal costuming, often focusing on the female form.
Sexually suggestive dialogue, dance, plotlines and staging.
Quick-witted humor laced with puns, but lacking complexity.
Short routines or sketches with minimal plot cohesion across a show.
Ok fair comment, I can accept this definition, I just didnt like the 'Grotesque' and other derogertry definitions I found :(
Shall I change my style, in your opinion then? is that what your saying???
I've found a fantastic 'hat/headpiece/ornament, unfortunatly the photo didnt copy, but the description did. It's £300 though, but I rekon a nice hat person might make me s'thing similar??
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this, but it's £300!!!
Description
Created from reclaimed bike wheel spokes, gear cogs, bike chains, and other exciting objects that I found in the scrap box of the bike shop!
Photographed during the Bristol Cycle Festival Fashion show and modelled by the beautiful Charlotte. Charlotte is also wearing the Bike Spoke Necklace, available on folksy.
Suitable for wearing or displaying on the sideboard.
From: Sophie Cooke
If that is Charlotte with the flame red hair? Sounds lie her sort of thing. Why not ask if you can hire it for the day? After all many men pay to wear ill- fitting black monkey suits and bow ties or perform grotesque rituals in hired kilts at weddings, so much better to hire something that fits and works for you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you now understand the intended commentary I think we can include sexually suggestive dialogue (on this blog quel horreur!), quick-witted humour laced with puns, but lacking complexity, and minimal plot cohesion.
