Candle In The Windpipe










Channel Five is threatening yet another "Diana weekend" featuring yet another "Diana - The True Story" documentary and so, by way of a spoiler, I'm going to tell this story one last time and then hopefully we can all be free from it for the rest of our days.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. The fractured fairytale is as follows:

Episode 1. Spoilt, thick, soon-to-be neurotic little rich girl marries jug-eared adulterer and scared-to-death-of-daddy fellow inbreed.

Episode 2. Bulimic, attention-seeking, now supposedly adult clothes horse whinges to all and sundry about infidelity, drops two grubs, shags militaristic upper class twit of the year, gets divorced on grounds of marital overcrowding and develops love of landmines, gymns, cow-eyed expressions and being photographed.

Episode 3. While jug-eared ex hooks up with aristocratic fellow adulterer and well known horse impersonator, poor little rich girl begins search for most dodgy and unsuitable man in Christendom before finally settling on oily, lounge lizard son of well known foreign criminal.

Episode 4. Foreign criminal junior and by-now-mad-as-a-fish clothes horse go out on lash and take somewhat, in hindsight, unwise decision not to call Regal Cabs but get driven home instead by blind drunk, gassed out of his brains employee of foreign criminal senior.

Episode 5. Laa-laa-land chauffeur tries to take bend in tunnel at 4,567,983 mph, finds steering somewhat unresponsive and ploughs into concrete pillar, killing Ms C Horse and suspected drug addled boyfriend.
THE END.

Can we just fucking leave it be now......please?

You old romantic, you.

Barry Lawrence said...

Romance....I remember that. It's something to do with putting your rude part in a lady, isn't it?

I, Like The View said...

no, that's sex

romance is the bit that comes before sex

and is never then seen again

:-)

I, Like The View said...

sh*t - I HATE that!!!! now I know why everyone was so pissed of with me when I put comment moderation on for a while. . .

I, Like The View said...

(and you can't leave it quite yet, cos the ten year anniversary thing hasn't happened)

I, Like The View said...

see, actually this is fab

cos I now know you are there!!

I, Like The View said...

(but you were right about her being a bit thick. . . I have that first hand, see, so I can vouch for it)(only thick compared to me mind, so that's not saying much)(she probably had better punctuation)(actually, she probably didn't)

Barry Lawrence said...

So, let me get this clear. Romance comes BEFORE the in-out-in-out-shake-it-all-about thingy but is never seen again afterwards? Is it the bit where she gets her purse out in the pub?
As to the marking of anniversaries, as Lee Dorsey whined in the marvellous Working in A Coalmine...."How long can this go on?"
I away to ma bed noo, hen. Get some sleep.

I, Like The View said...

and this is brilliant - now I'm ending my day as I began it, choking with laughter on my drink

ah - from tea to V&T in a few short hours. . .

;-)

I, Like The View said...

actually, it's so long since I've had either I'd totally forgotten

romance comes after sex (which naturally follows paying for a drink in a pub), for a brief five minutes. . .

. . .and then is never seen again

the sex lasts for a little while longer and then fades into non-existance too

then, as you quite rightly point out, it's time to get some sleep

oh thank you, thank you. i am so sick unto death of the peoples princess. the poor dead thing has been headlining in the popular press here at lest once a week ever since she married chuck! and she's been dead longer than my grandson's been alive?
WHO CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES!

*falls to the floor twitching and foaming*

*which is the part that comes after the 'shake it all about' bit*


*that same out wrong but i'll leave it*

Barry Lawrence said...

ILTV,

Little girl, you've had a busy day. Night, night.

First Nations,

Not so much "England's Rose" as "England's Millstone".
The bit which comes after the shake it all about bit, by the way, is, in order:
spermatazoa, fag, pizza, sleep.

I, Like The View said...

putting me to bed so early in our fledgling relationship?

ok, I can take a hint

however. . .

(I'm so crap at shutting up and taking hints)(sorry)

. . .I'd like to quibble with your order, but I'm not going to; seeing as it's not my blog 'n' all. . .

*sits on hands in order to avoid temptation*

SHORTS DON'T MATTER! 1. From the greatest programme ever made about association football, Barnstoneworth United FC manager Mr Dainty delivers one of the finest English soliloqiues of all time.......and afterwards, spare a thought for the club steward's wife Vera (YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH HALF OF THE CLIP!!).

Not everyone who agonises over their life is a painter. Some of us agonise because we're NOT painters.

....And On the Subject of Great Public Services

I know most of you have heard this marvellous song by those doctors who are the Amateur Transplants......but I think the video is a nice addition. P.S. If there are kids in the room I'd shuffle them out before hitting play.

...There's More

On the subject of those great doctors, here is their version of More Than Words which presents their challenging views on women outside Watford. The very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither, coming from Cumbria, is a huge fan. Again, get those kids out of the room!

Leave Britney Alone, Ok!!!

Oh...........my............God!!!!! My heartfelt thanks go to BGT for this. I won't say much more, I don't need to. Mr Loony of Loonytown, USA (I think it's a bloke, anyway), says it all. I fear he may be wound too tight for.....well.....well for everywhere, really!

I wish I'd sung this! For non-Americans, and with apologies to all the smart arses out there who already knew, the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission and it monitors TV and radio output in the States - a sort of broadcast police - while the EPA is the Yanks' so-called Environmental Protection Agency, a body which does exactly the opposite of what it says on the can. (P.S. We went to the same school, you know? Eric and me, that is, not George, Martha, Dick and Condoleeza and me. I don't think they went to school.) P.P.S. Please see below if you are I Like The View, Malc or Doris.

To Make You Laugh and Cry

I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons. On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!

I First Saw This When I Was Little - And Loved It! I Hope That Explains a Few Things

Fuck, Fuckety, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck

It has been pointed out to me that, particularly for one whose profession is supposedly literary, my language is getting worse. My use of the "F" word is, I am told, far too prevalent and hence loses impact. To those who share this view I suggest you watch the following:

Tony Blair Isn't a Burglar - But If He Was.........

In the spirit of Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, I feel like raising a smile today. The Big Green Thing alerted me to this and, for no other reason than to raise a smile on an otherwise crap Wednesday, I think it has to be shared. Grantham shall not have him - when he gets out of prison.

Life On The Edge - No Net.

I was wrong when I feared it might be a dull weekend, what with my pals being away, my soon-to-be ex-wife in rehab and only the dogs to play with. How wrong can a man be? This much fun must surely be illegal? Just click to see the japes and hoots I am having! Click again to see how things got REALLy exciting! Tomorrow we're going to chase pigeons.
