Aunty Bill,
6 weeks ago I was walking along Blackpool Pier, whistling a cheery refrain when a seagull swooped down and pecked me in the unmentionables.
A nearby dog saw this and ambled and sniffed me “downstairs”. Then a monkey, who was eating an ice cream, came over and stuck the cone on me privates.
Finally a rather large Trappist monk leered at me and mimed a spanking motion – I deduced a form of atonement for my sins.
At no time did my wheelchair bound partner offer to help me fend of these attacks. The monkey let down her tyres and I walked off in a huff with the ice cream cone still plonked on my little stick of Blackpool rock.
Blackpool Council called me this morning to ask when I was going to collect my girlfriend as she was still on the pier and struggling with barnacle build up.
Do you think I should go and collect her or just Fedex her a tyre pump and tell her to get on with it?

Dear Dan
The scenario you describe has all the hallmarks of a sustained sesh on the bong. Seek help (and give me the number of your dealer).
Many years ago I witnessed first hand the damage drugs can do as a similar situation happened to a dear friend of mine (without the appearance of a monkey and wheelchair).
Said friend accompanied me to the city of Hamburg for a football tournament. After running away from an ex mate of the Beatles to avoid buying him a drink (another story for another time), he decided it would be a good idea to team up with a group of Mexicans and partake of a glass of Mescal.
This led to him to “Peyote Pete” and the beginnings of a Mescal Fury.
I myself was a tad messy and in the ensuing imbroglio we lost each other in the crowds of sozzled Mexicans. Some hours later I received a call from a panicked Oily who said he was on a giant gateaux travelling through the Black Forest with no idea how he got there.
It later transpired that he was in fact in a shop doorway near the train station covered in emulsion (Harvest Peach as it turned out, matt from memory).
Let this salutary tale be a warning to you Richard. Just say Nada.
However, If she can wheel herself to the nearest garage she can use the air line for a nominal fee (Jet Garages are free) thus saving you the cost and hassle of Fedexing a pump to her.
Trebles all round!
Aunty Bill
A mind picture of oily in Peach emulsion brought back fond memories of “guess where I am” games.
My mind is boggling John!
Perhaps trading up for some chromed rims which can serve as frisbees or pizza pans or a game show’s “Wheels of Misfortune” in a pinch…
Pimp my chair
Oh, my…I can see your brain thinkin of a new line of posts….
Cogs are whirring….
Chrome Spinners! Those are popular on slabs/cars here….like gladiators and chariots except on freeways…
Pope Francis should be slapped with a kipper for his mittens. Meanwhile, if it wasn’t for Aunty Bill, I would have never put a high correlation value between Mescal and Peyote Pete.
Few do Frank, few do.
Dear Dan,
Stay the hell away from Blackpool Pier and you should be fine!
You are a sage!
Dear Dan,
Wear a cup when traveling to Blackpool Pier. Your privates will thank you.
All my best,
Nancy
Danke Nancy!
Just say nada … and give that Nancy Regan a sausage …. How come Papa rates two chickens, no sausage?
Consider Nancy done! Just need to fix the photoshop on my computer!
