You Say Angina...


I forgot to mention another, er, new kid on the block The Angina Monologues in my recent Blogger's Digest. For an old duffer, he's not got a bad sense of humour.

Although he appears to have nicked off with my cat.

I remember a really drunk guy in The Royal, a couple of years ago, who came up to me and kept saying 'angina' among other, more unintelligible, things.
I was just on the verge of going through his pockets to help him find his pills when I realised (as he made the big mistake of trying to rifle my pockets) that he was attempting to proposition me.
On reflection, angina may have been the softer option for him.
As a consequence, I've been invited to never return to that or any other Thorley establishment and I now have a criminal record!
Flippin' 'eck!

Maybe that was the old duffer himself? I hear he's got quite an arresting personality.

you sure he wasn't saying vangina?

Funny you should say that. When I used to work for Pickfords, a good friend of mine there was called Van Gina. There is a story behind the nickname but it is, perhaps, best not shared before the watershed.
I recall another story about the other side of the watershed from my days at the tannery but that's another story!

It rather begs the question have you seen Mike Hunt.

He comes here occasionally but he has his own very, very busy blog, and, as a hitch-hikers alternative, I believe it takes up a lot of his time.
