I was in L’alba D’oro the other night for my usual supper of chips and Cloudy Bay. They said Oi Gembo, the last time you was in your card didn’t go through.
I said no problem charge me twice tonight. But how did you know it was me?
They showed me the slip. it said Bequiffed Controversialist.
In a previous life when I was more Generous Daddy Longhair We would visit flam borough head for some babysitting off the in-laws and go to the veggie restaurant in Bridlington called a Bean Scene. I used to supplement the tasty veggie food with champagne for Mrs Garto and a fine Claret for Daddy Gembo. We left half of each bottle (well Mrs Garto did) for the lovely staff. Subsequently whenever the owners bumped into my in laws they always enquired after me. Then they put on the legendary guitarist Martin Carthy and he chatted to me for some time in the break. He charged half price fee as he could get back up’t road t’robin ‘ooods Bay to his legendary wife Norma Waterson.

The polite fellow with the ponytail was out my back door this afternoon. We had a fine ploughman’s dodging raindrops, a fine minervois la Liviniere and some fine chat.
He gave me an Xmas pudding , some Apple chutney and the promise of a back mudguard. He pedalled off with some sleepers for burning, some Minervois la Liviniere and some cider.
Xmas Swap Shop lovely.

Yes it was very fine, as was my journey on the Susan Webber Active Travel Corridor (Braid burn mudbath, Mudbath of Leith).
On the way there I was behind a couple walking their medium size sheepdog, Dylan. It was enjoying the mud and the rain to the point it was totally filthy. Except....
Dylan had a pair of perfectly clean, bright pink testicles hanging about four inches down. Like a pair of rose-coloured Clackers in a fine silk purse. So perfect I had to congratulate Dylan and his owners. They laughed nervously like I was mad which I am not. I am polite but also a bit intense.
Was in first gear getting the railway sleepers up to His Matness on the diversion but great fun.

Those sleepers are heavy. I get off and push even without Sleepers. Respect.
That Dylan is the Dog’s Bollox.

Keep an eye out for Dylan's scrotum supreme. Thing of genuine beauty. Must drag on the ground in summer mind.

Dear gembo,
Perhaps you could get IWARTS advice on publishing a hit gembo book.
Your tales are too good to be true.

@chdot the sleepers have been sawn into trailer sized pieces. They burn slow, they burn hot and they leave little ash. They also pack nicely into a trailer. Bit dirty as have been in field helping vans get to pylons.

Yes the IWARTS/gembotron combo will create. Music first. We have some Yves Duteil to do then some time travel.

I'm disappointed there been no mention of mercury, liquid nitrogen or other things IWRATS nights have been carrying.
Posted 3 years ago # -
Mercury the god of translators of course. But that said if I am ever found with a trailer full of quicksilver it will be time for me to be sedated and subdued.

Just set the challenge to my mum on Skype and she got it first time no prompts.
What hope is there?

She knows her wee boy

Perhaps she's a secret CCE lurker.

@acsimpson
That would be wonderful. I did wonder if @gembo had sent her a PM.

It means that, should the need to disappear arise all that you need to do is cut off the pony tail and be slightly less polite.

I was in a bookshop at lunchtime and 'ideally bald men smiling while surrounded by vegan food' does appear to be a genre.
All baldies look the same. Keeping my skullet. Keeping it mannered.
