Everybody out !!!!

So while some Reg Varney lookalike was pinching the bums of the young lady AO's; the bloke that plays Smiler on Last of the Summer Wine was wandering up to me in an ill fitting uniform trenchcoat and out of issue peaked cap saying "Oooo I 'ate you Shadey" whereupon amongst the tea fumes, cometh the cheeky blonde one with a whistle, a blast of "peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep" and "Everybody out".

Actually, it didn't pan out that way.

My union's called another strike; last time I was a disgusting scabbing blackleg, mainly due to the futility of striking when my team were either non-union or scabbing to a man. This time I thought I'd better make up for it; the cause is a good one, and I would be spending the day reading the history's of Lenin, Marx and Engles as our good chairman would like of me. Ah cobblers, actually I spent it in the pub. The strike seemed much better supported than the last. Maybe union leaders should contact a reliable weather forecaster before they keep announcing these things! Sunshine is good for strike action.

Oh, and for the non-unionisti among you, I got hoisted by my own Petard, as the saying goes for my impertinence.

Phoned the DVLA for some paperwork queryduring the day... of course, "Our office is closed" answerphone message..... theres a strike on, dontcha know !!!

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
