I like rats.

If anyone wants to see the picture that should have been attached to the Hoon's Paradise yarn that I sent to Lil's mailing list, a link has been posted at the ezboard site.

Lil, here's a biographical piece you may like to edit

INSIDE THE MIND OF A MAN AT C&A.
An extract from The Secret Diaries. Friday, June 23, 1975

Woke late and took it easy in bed listening to You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman Turner Overdrive. One of the chicks brought me breakfast (bacon, sausages, eggs - sunnyside up, natch - just like I like) and then it was time to get on out.

Cruised downtown in the Lancia and swung by the chemist (Malc The Talc's) for Brut and something for the weekend. Then to the main business of the day - a seasonal wardrobe rethink with my man Ray down at C&A. "Ray," I began, "let's do the easy stuff first. It's going to be summer soon and you know what kind of a guy I am. Tell me you haven't run out of those yellow Y-fronts with purple trim." "Not at all, sir," said Ray. "Plenty left. I take it that the maroon and beige have lived up to expectations."

"For me to know and you to guess. Now, what's new?" The next 30 minutes, dearest diary, were life-changing. First of all Ray comes over with these, like, special trousers - tight where the ladies like it tight but flared at the bottom.

Then he fetches one of these sweaters designed so that you can.show off the watch to maximum advantage - even wear it on the outside, over the sleeve, if the mood is rude (and it usually is). Both garments, by the way, with full-stretch freedom (and doesn't that come as a big relief).

But the final touch was all mine. I spotted the belted tunic - the camel and white combo was a killer. Man, I came up with the "Three Piece Set". Fashion comes and goes but style... well, what can I say? It's here to stay. Two words: C&A.

And yeah - later, you could say that I hustled a few frames off Fat James down at The Lazy Baize.

And C&A has been and is now gone from the british high street.

Think I'll just stay snuggled on the sofa and listen to the conversation for a while. matina can i have a cup of please? Thank you.

Um, Munchers, it wasn't a good idea to have your creature eat that guy. You can't release the kids out of the mine without him, you know.

Hello. Got a job yet? (I may have missed it in some of last weeks backlog, sorry)

Greetings, B-17!

No, it doesn't look like I've got the job I was after. I'll phone them up some time today to make sure there wasn't an administrative error, but I doubt that'll be the case.
Looks like I'll have to start the hunt again.

Ah never mind. Keep plugging away, mate. You'll get there. Don't forget you are competeing against all the other studenté looking for jobs so they have something to do over xmas. There is aways mowing my lawns for £10 a week

Morning all!

I have found, for some sick and twisted reason, that lately my days go better if I wake up earlier. So here I am, awake at 7am on a Saturday morning. I fear that fate may be playing a cruel trick on me.

Matina, some please. Thank you.

Gah! You would mention mowing lawns today, wouldn't you?
I had to do ours today, a now very strenuous task encompassing raking of leaves and pine needles, picking up of twigs and sticks, trimming of hedges and of course the mowing itself.
Problem was, half way into the back garden, it suddenly started raining! It's stopped now, but I can't mow a wet lawn!

Morning G7
Never mind, eh Chris Nothing worse than not getting the grass cut beause it's wet

Morning, B-17.

Prof, I woke up to find quite a layer of frost on our grass this morning. At least you don't have to worry about mowing it - for a few months at any rate.

G7

And mine only really needs one more cut before the winter, so there you go. One trip, £10, food and lodgings

Sounds like quite a deal, Prof. Take him up on it before he changes his mind.
