WHAT'S HE BUILDING IN THERE?
What's he building in there?
What the hell is he building
In there?
He has subscriptions to those
Magazines... He never
Waves when he goes by
He's hiding something from
The rest of us... He's all
To himself... I think I know
Why... He took down the
Tire swing from the Peppertree
He has no children of his
Own you see... He has no dog
And he has no friends and
His lawn is dying... and
What about all those packages
He sends. What's he building in there?
With that hook light
On the stairs. What's he building
In there... I'll tell you one thing
He's not building a playhouse for
The children what's he building
In there?
Now what's that sound from under the door?
He's pounding nails into a
Hardwood floor... and I
Swear to god I heard someone
Moaning low... and I keep
Seeing the blue light of a
T.V. show...
He has a router
And a table saw... and you
Won't believe what Mr. Sticha saw
There's poison underneath the sink
Of course... But there's also
Enough formaldehyde to choke
A horse... What's he building
In there. What the hell is he
Building in there? I heard he
Has an ex-wife in some place
Called Mayors Income, Tennessee
And he used to have a
consulting business in Indonesia...
but what is he building in there?
What the hell is building in there?
He has no friends
But he gets a lot of mail
I'll bet he spent a little
Time in jail...
I heard he was up on the
Roof last night
Signaling with a flashlight
And what's that tune he's
Always whistling...
What's he building in there?
What's he building in there?
We have a right to know...

BUS FAIR?
(viewed 378 times)
I was feelin' good after the hospital appointment, then I got a reply to my
email to the Union Benevolent Fund. I'm not getting a penny out of them, no
reason given. I emailed them because I sent in the application by post
almost a month ago and I was checking whether they'd received it. They had
received it 3 weeks ago and made an instant decision, only they didn't
fucking well bother to tell me. It's the last straw as far as PCS are
concerned, bunch of self serving bastards.
Now what has this got to do with the bus?
Nothing really, but a Pembrokeshire day-ticket on First Cymru costs �4.80,
has done for ages, yet a few of the buses are still advertising it at �4.50.
I know it's only 30p but there's a principle at stake here, as well as
legality, and I'm just in the mood to have a pop, so here goes.
(edit):
reply from First Bus received today 12th October:
"Dear Sir
Thank you for your complaint regarding the Pembrokeshire Day Ticket.
The correct price for this ticket is �£4.80. I have instructed our staff at
Haverfordwest Depot to remove all out of date publicity.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Your Sincerely
Owen Williams
Business Manager West
Rheolwr Busnes Gorllewin"

THE MIST HUNG LIKE COBWEBS...
Hospital Appointment @ 9am.
Had to get bus @ 7.30am.
I did consider cycling, but had decided against it before I saw the weather (22 miles might have been overstretching myself somewhat at the moment).
Discharged with a clean bill of health and instructed to start "getting back
to normal".
