‘Oh Daisy here they come again. I can’t be doing with this today, I have a hell of a hangover after last night, look at me, I’m practically green.’
‘Well I did tell you that all that chomping on fermented grass was not going to do you any good, but you never listen. Mind you, these are a rare looking bunch.’
All I can say is I hope no one gets too close to my rear end, because I am not sure I can hold in the after effects of said fermented grass much longer.
Ach when I think back now to all we were promised, it’ll be fun they said, you’ll be a veritable cash cow they said, if only you just take the bull by the horns.
You were none to pleased at the start, I almost keeled over laughing when he said ‘Don’t have a cow’, oh the look on your face.
Ah well, tis show time, just an udder day in paradise.

Roflmao ….. this is delightfully brilliant Eejit! I love how you’ve taken certain “tired lines” and infected them with a dashing dose of humour and absolute insanity in telling this little story! I think Michael’s been quite the influence on you ;)

It was actually Priceless Joy who coerced me into this one lol You know I never refuse a challenge.
Thinking back now, I am gutted I didn’t add the bull in the china shop line too, I now see a perfect place for it, but it would take me over my word limit lol

Pit from Hell, I tell you. No exaggeration. Have no idea how I’d handle 72-year-old “teen” …..I’m still trying to figure out how to motivate this one at almost-17. Thinking we should give up on both and have lunch! Your country or mine? :)
