Please do take time to think about the fat drunk beggars on the street, because it's everso cold, and while all us are lying in bed saying 'five minutes more' to our wives every morning, they are jumping out of bed going 'Oh, up and at 'em, early start' etc etc because it's so bloody cold in their beds, also cardboard is all scratchy when you've got chill blains. So put a penny in the old mans hat or buy a copy of the big issue. Be careful of that skinny beggar bloke though, he's scary. He says...
Scary beggar: Excuse me son could you spare some coppers for a cuppatea,
Me: Here you are sir, take care (I gave him a pound he could get pure assam with that)
Scary beggar: You wouldn't have a smoke there wudya?
Me: (Hmm I just give you a quid which I can't afford) Yeah here ya go
Scary beggar: Is it alreet ifa take two?
Me: Yeah go on. (am I being took for a ride)
Scary beggar: Have you got a light?
Me: Uhuh.
Scary beggar: God bless you, you're a good sort, now I tell you what, I came here.....
(Beggar now goes into this long story which you can only pick out the occassional word, you
smile and nod but are starting to wish you kicked him and ran away like all the other people
do, and after a while come the strange questioning. You can't tell what he's saying but he
keeps giving these sort of 'Huh?' grunts and looking at you like he wan'ts an answer)
Scary beggar: Guess a wet a manaya simorno . . . hah?
Me: Hiume. (I try an unintelligable mix of yes, no and indifferent . . . it doesn't work)
Scary beggar: takgeru mory do morno . . . huh?
Me: Yeah-still, there you go. (you plumb for yes, but just in case try and drown it by quickly
saying one of those 'please may we end our conversations' type phrase)
Scary : Yeah ya fukenidjabiscitoriundaboo inde morna befora toppa!
(Wrong answer, he suddenly seems quite offended and starts this brewing muttering which
you are sure is laced with swear words, you make off quick and hope he doesn't chase you
down the street.
Variety shows seem to have disappeared a bit recently but you can bet your sweet behind
they'll be back for christmas. The queen will be near comatose, sat in the box watching that
stupid Gary watsisname patronise the life out of us all. While people you used to like come
on and sing famous show tunes like 'Consider yourself my mate etc etc', and the big thing of
the minute (eg spice girls) will come and do a shifty medly of xmas songs including
aggaddoo somewhere in there. Oh good god I feel sick already.
But forget the woes, It's xmas and everyone loves it, even Jehovas Witnesses who don't get
any presents. Now everyone sit around a pray that it'll snow a blizzard like you've never seen
on christmas eve, enjoy your pudding and if you eat meat, enjoy your turkey too, be
sweet.
Here is a nasty quiz for you to lark around with during your office party, and if you are married a word of warning - that girl in the red blouse and the little black skirt does look as hot as an exploding banger and yes she probably does go like a steam hammer and yes you'd probably have a whale of a time but when you get home you'd be left with a feeling of regret and disgust and that's no way to be at christmas, if you really can't help yourself, drink until you pass out and be adamant that nothing happened. Merry Xmas.
