After the "success" of my last repeat post, I thought I'd give it another go with these two - yes, two! - re-runs from 2007 and 2010 respectively (these were the ones I was going to do before Beast and Tim stole the show). I think they're quite appropriate for the circumstances that we find ourselves in, as they illustrate why one should keep one's distance from others as one never knows what may happen...
I only tapped her on the shoulder to ask if she wanted a coffee and she spontaneously combusted.
She could've just said 'No, thanks'.
Silly cow always has to be centre of attention...
* I loved Piggy (mayherestinpeace) & Tazzy's comment on the original post so much that I thought I'd use the first part of it as this post's title.

I told her that smuggling gunpowder would be her undoing.

Makes - erm - a change from beautiful photographs of sunrises and the English countryside, I suppose. Jx
ReplyDeleteI suppose one of those sunrises could have been the glow of flames from just over the horizon? Although, it's more likely to have just been the actual sun, as spontaneous human combustion seems to have gone out of fashion now...
DeleteI’ve been away for far too long. I thought it would be a story about you having car trouble.
ReplyDeleteBy the end of today my muff may explode and that too won’t be car related.
Car trouble! What are you insinuating, 'Petra? That my Car isn't up to snuff?1? Well, I'll have you know it passed the MOT last week - and I only had to spend £1,500 on it beforehand.
DeleteWhat? Of course I'm not oversensitive about Car!
...
Um... Anyway, I hope the repairs to your muff aren't as expensive...

ReplyDeleteLikewise wearing several layers of nylon beneath a Crimplene skirt, whilst dragging on a fag.

Apologies for the lateness of my reply - On my way in I got wedged in the doorway by my crinolined Crimplene frock! I had to burn it off with my fag. Oh, shit! I mean, I wasn't having a fag - we're in lockdown, after all...
DeleteNow, what were you saying?
I remember telling my mother that I wanted to spontaneously combust and her being horrified. Suck it up, bitch.
ReplyDeleteIf you were young enough so that it wouldn't have been awkward, perhaps you could have said it while giving her a big hug or sitting on her lap?
DeleteAfter my very first rushed exit a month early I avoided that area completely.
DeleteIt's a fact that one can spontaneously combust caused by too much friction at the muff.
ReplyDeleteI can smell burning... I hope you have the fire brigade on standby?
DeleteI do wonder if cotton protects a muff from combusting? xoxo
ReplyDeletep.s. Is there a contest coming up with AWARDS? How can I enter??? What must I do? I mean, somebody has to ask "Did I win yet?" (RIP LX)
You may need to borrow some of Ms Scarlet's asbestos undergarments, Savvy.
DeleteP.S. Don't worry about the awards. As long as you can manage to have your birthday on time, you're sure to win something ;)
Money for old rope!
ReplyDeleteYes, that'll be twenty quid, please!
