Musings of a wordsmith

Better late than never

Posted by 1troy3 on May 20, 2008

Finally heard a cuckoo today.

But at least they are more reliable than anyone in the UK with whom you might want to do business. I hate cutting the grass so you can probably guess my mood when a stone accelerated out the back of the mower and through the double glazing. So far I’ve waited a week with one firm and made, ooh I dunno, a dozen calls. Then when you get through they put you on hold til you get an automatic cut-off. If it takes a recession to get these cretins out of circulation then bring it on.

And ask me if the insurance company have sent the paperwork.

    Never mind – relax tonight in front of the box – you might find some piddling footy match on.

    (I don’t think I’ve heard a cuckoo in 3 summers – I must get out more).

    Yeah, good match wasn’t it.

    It would be easy to say that Chelsea were denied by the woodwork, but much as it pains me to say it, I think over the season Man United have been the best team around.

    Cuckoos are out there, but they seem to congregate in batches. Actually saw one today for the first time in years.
