faith destroyed!!
Friday, July 4, 2008 at 10:57PM As some may have noticed, posts from yours truly have been extremely thin on the ground as of late. Multiple reasons, partly personal and family, partly work; but I break my silence to announce that I am fast losing my faith in human nature.
My reasons are quite simple, in that the shower who live on the neighbouring 'sink' estate are not acting in their usual predatory manner, and this I just cannot understand. I bought a new lawnmower last week, and decided that, as I really couldn't spend the time to take the old one to the dump, I would leave it outside my house from where anything with any value would, and usually does, dissapear faster that Barack Obama's policy statements are produced.
But as of tonight, this is the fourth day that my grass-cutter still stands forlorn and unloved!
Just have to take it to the dump myself! Terrible times, when the scum don't react as you expect!

Mike,
Great to hear from you and a most welcome and witty post! Hope you can continue to grace the site, much appreciated by me. Sorry the lawnmower has not been stolen!!
theives won't take something they might have to do work with it's an oxymoron
Troll - the was damn funny.
Mike - good post. Solution: chain it up and they'll think it is valuale and steal it then.
Better watch out David.
That clapped-out lawnmower sitting there will draw the attention of a community warden faster than a fresh cow plop draws bule bottle flys.
Next thing you know you'll be standing before the judge trying to explain that it's a new piece of modern sculture, which you have so generously donated to the neighbourhood.
If worse comes to worse tell the judge that it's a prop, you're a film director and you're making a new version of Steptoe & Son.
MC's been away for months and all he has garnered in that time is a story about a Hayter mower.
It must be a cultural desert out there man.
