Title: Attracting Nutters
Post by: Nick on July 18, 2008, 11:03:04 AM
Why me?

I was watching a very odd looking chap outside who was taking numerous photos of our house. I enquired why.

"It's a survey" he twitched.

"What sort of survey?"

"I am establishing landmarks and landing sites for the invaders" eeek:

"Invaders?"

"From space"

 scared2:

I have locked my doors!

SO I have a tree that needs felling and removing.The local chappy is Ebrell.That is his full name. Ebrell.

So I go to his house, where the door is opened by his strange daughter. Mid 40s. Two plaits down almost to her knees. eeek:

"Ebrell", she yells.

Ebrell appears from the back of an adjacent truck. Gnarled. Long white beard.Long white pony tail. He is carrying a chainsaw/

I explain my problem.

He stabs himself in the chest with his index finger. "Ebrell will fix it."

I offer him my phone number.

"Ebrell will write it down"  scared2:

He does!

I tentatively ask about price.

He points at his chest again, "Ebrell is cheap."

With his other hand he vaguely waves the chainsaw about scared2:

He has my number and my address  scared2:

The council can go and f*ck themselves.

Ebrell is the proud owner of a large , nay huge, woodpile "for my retirement"

Back to nutters.

It is known that I venture to a pub near the office at lunchtime. Have done for years, with Mrs TMR (to be). Mrs TMR (to be) is no longer in the office, thus I wander alone to said pub. Today, Yoda Tel was there, but that's nothing to do with nutters.

On the way back, I walked my usual walk and the chap that lives two doors up from the Funeral Parlour was standing in his small front garden, pointing at aeroplanes. I have seen him countless times - a bemused looking gent of mid 60's and obviously of Irish descent judging by his mad gingerish hair, teeth by Shergar and a complete inablility to dress himself properly. He fixed me with his rictus grin and shouted "HAVE YOU LOST HER" !

To which I replied "Eh?"

"THE WIFE. HAS SHE GONE?! HAVE YOU PUT HER NEXT DOOR - IN THERE?

To which I replied "You're fucking mental, aren't you?"

"HAHAHAHAHA! WE'LL KILL THEM ALL".

Getting back to the office has never been quite so pleasurable.
