Grass stains, sun burn and Electric Gypsies...
Things from today that I will never forget.
1. Carolyn's laugh.
2. Running behind the ice cream van with Gillian and shouting "Stop! Stop!"
3. Playing rounders in Roath Park with no shoes on and getting sun burnt on my nose.
4. Relishing the moments when a swift breeze would cool my hot skin.
5. Walking the long way home with 'Love Supreme' by the Turn Table Rockers blasting in my ears.
6. Playing 'Marco Polo' in Tesco.
7. JC lending me his first edition copy of 'Jimi Hendrix - Electric Gypsy' to read as a summer project.
8. This joke: A Fisherman and a Priest are in a boat, and the fisherman catches a huge fish. He says, "Look at the size of that fucker!" The Priest turns to the Fisherman and replies, "You can't say that, I'm a man of God." Thinking on his feet, the Fisherman says, "No, that's what it's called. It's a Fucker Fish!" The Priest then says, "Ok, I'll take that Fucker home for you."
They get home and the Bishop is there. "That's a huge fish." He says, to which the Priest replies, "Yes, I brought that Fucker home." The Bishop says, "You can't say that in front of me, I'm a man of God!" The Priest replies, "No, no, that's it's name, it's called a Fucker Fish." "Well ok," the Bishop says, "I'll wash that Fucker for you."
The Mother Superior comes round and comments on the huge fish the Fisherman has caught, to which the Bishop says, "Yes, I washed that Fucker." The Mother Superior says, "You can't say that, I'm a woman of God!" "No, no," says the Bishop, "That's what it's called, it's a Fucker Fish." "Ok, well the Pope is coming round for dinner, I'll cook that Fucker for you."
So the Pope comes round and everyone eats the fish and generally has a lovely time, and eventually the Pope says, "You know, that was a really nice fish."
"I caught that Fucker." says the Fisherman.
"I brought that Fucker home." says that Priest.
"I washed that Fucker." says the Bishop.
"And I cooked that Fucker." says the Mother Superior.
The Pope puts down his knife and fork, pours himself a glass of whisky and looks around the table, and says, "You know what...you cunts are alright."
