Today it has pissed with rain and I have been on Pikey Watch.
On her way out Sassy knocked the door and shared her suspicions of Pikeydom on the street.
I knew what she was going to say when she opened with,
‘I don’t want to sound snobby, but…..’
We had both spotted the same pair of unsavoury looking characters who were spending too much time walking up and down the road.
They had even looked in her window.
Trouble is it is also Freshers’ Week so there are quite a few strange looking people wandering about. They usually have a map printed from Google, a hangover, and a bewildered look.
The dead give away for 1st year students is the older couple with them.
Her, red eyed, panicky and smiling too much; him, bored, or looking at his watch and bitching about traffic on the A34, or using a key to poke at rotten window frames.
This is the time of year when Albert Road is awash with beer, kebabs and vomit.
Various staggering groups from different university ‘Societies’, usually holding up one member who is too drunk to walk.
Accident and emergency is full of booze related injuries and illnesses.
Street crime doubles. Fights and muggings dominate the local paper.
The Chavs will go for students when there are no sailors to fight with.
Housemate Claire had her last lot of chemotherapy last week.
Today she went for a scan.
The tumour has decreased by a third but there are now ‘bits’ around it.
This could be the tumour breaking up or they’ve made it angry and it’s gone ‘apeshit’
We won’t know much until she has seen the consultant next week.
The waiting bit is really shit.
Sad as it may sound, I have a favourite Weather man.
Dan Corbett is fucking brilliant. Check out his work!
I find myself watching his hands! It’s like a ballet!
It may also surprise you to learn he’s straight. So the BBC website says.
When I started writing, my beloved Spurs were 4-1 down to Aston Villa.
Fucking VILLA?
I felt a sacking coming on.
It finished 4-4.
The second half was heart stopping!
On our 125th Anniversary.
COME ON YOU SPURS!
Happy 18th to my cousin Meg!

On a much more important note, when does Claire see the consultant? This is unwelcome news - when you want clarity and certainty, this isn't helpful. And all this waiting. Why does she have to wait???
Waiting = NHS
We pay for this shit!
I know. Let's refuse treatment to all those pissed up twats who bung up A&E and with the money saved (HUGE quantities I imagine) give it to patients like Claire who need to know NOW about the state of their health.
I am not kidding. Some people are taking the piss with the NHS and should legitimately either be refused treatment (not a vote winner) or be made to pay the full cost of it because they are pikey twats.
Now THAT is a vote winner! Oh yes.
No kidding that some ppl totally take the piss with the NHS.
Isn't this the time of year when you normally go mushroom hunting?
Oh yes. You had a great time last year, didn't you? I think that you need to consider a further attempt at shrooming with Rob...
I will be out 'shrooming this weekend!
