Good Flavoured Customers… Two little girls with a shine for the driver… and Boozed-up Tommy
“Do you get many idiots, driver?” “Not really… I just get a lot of people, in a fairly… wide range of flavours.” That’s my usual, somewhat self amusing, quietly spoken spiel. The truth is, that the amount of good flavours far outnumber the amount of idiot flavours. Here are a couple of examples of good flavours to show the sort of wide range of, ok customers. Two little girls, with a shine for the driver Both girls hopped along the pavement … Read entire article »

Violent public conduct… part one.
‘ Wham ! “…. I had lifted my arm and it shuddered as it took the full impact of the incoming punch that was aimed at my face. Ow, that hurt, I recall thinking, being somewhat annoyed I had missed-timed what should have been more of a deflection. . The deflection does not attempt to stop the impact (hurt), but make more an intercept with the incoming punch at near the angle of its direction, then apply strength to … Read entire article »

A country lane at night-time is a wildlife ‘drive-through’. Most have cleared off or gone into hiding, but every now and again, a meeting occurs. . . . The car was halted because of an owl on the ground, dead center of the lane, stood with its back to us. Lit in full beams, it casually turned to check out the source of disturbance, us, then just smoothly un-twisted its neck (how can they do that?) and resumed its work….. … Read entire article »

Rumbling the parasitic freak
As soon as safe, she erupted into shakes and bouts of little shallow huff n gulp breathing. She didn’t have a lot of tears, but the few that blurred her eyes, came from the soul. . It had taken me a minute or so to rumble the freakiness of the situation.

Go wait in the loading bay, you old people.
On two occasions I have witnessed an established good practice that is considerate to the more elderly shoppers in the city, turn to a sad affair. Once when a traffic warden decided it was a good idea for the lady to shuffle back into the shop, through the shop, and wait in the loading bay, where I could then go collect her…. we were already at the car. The second was arriving on another day and first … Read entire article »

Shuffle Buddy Shoppers
Enter the doors and 5 ladies attach themselves to your arm. One name is announced and 4 concede graciously with a measured expression of consideration… “I’m shhure oursh will be along presently”. A reassurance that they have not been forgotten, along with a compliment for their patience, grace and beauty usually teases out an amicable atmosphere as the shopping bags of the named customer are being gathered up into the spare arm.
