John Cooper Clarke reads his poem, Smooth Operetta - YouTube

 

'Mentioned in despatches'

 

Off grid, or off your fucking head?

a pastiche pastel ponce parlour bed

described as 'lovely', but son, you're misled

I'd sooner sleep with the recently dead...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...body of me great nan, who in her 90th year

would rather fight Germans or war in Crimea

and spend every day in post apocalytic fear

than spend one night in this mobile diarrhea...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...filled tat box with its odious vapour

what a fucking palaver,  fuck this for a caper 

fuck Laura Ashley and fuck her wall paper

pass me a sick bucket, pass me a scraper

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...and let's get rid of the unbearable stink

save us from this hell, take us from this brink

of a nasty shade of 'dog's lipstick' pink

that's as 'tasteful' as taking a slash in the sink...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...that's probably hiding a nasty surprise

what's for tea mam, are you cooking us flies?

let's pack our bags and say our goodbyes

and give it a make over with no compromise

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

... on a bottle of gas and a big box matches 

and the grass is a grave where burnt  body detaches

and we're covered in medals and big fuck off patches

for services to caravanning, mentioned in despatches

Is that one of those weird IMA things?  I was looking at those a while back - they seem like a very half-arsed attempt at a hybrid.

Thats right; more or less just a plain old Civic with a stop start system. A nice and comfortable car and arguably better looking than the Prius, but less practical, less reliable and not as good at the hybrid jig.

Our first caravan, in 1965, was a 400!  My dad towed it behind his 1500 Corsair, until he traded that in for a lovely new Zephyr4 later in the year.  The 400 looked ridiculously small behind the Zephyr so he turned it in against a Sprite Alpine, next size up.  When we went away with him for the summer, which was our custom, there were 5 of us.....

What had the poor little sprite ever done to anyone to deserve that doing to it?

Yes unbelievable what these genuinely fetch now. I sold mine for four grand a few years back and thought I'd done well. I am an idiot!

Er... it's standing at £8988 now. Wonder how many of those are joke bids.

A-frame it back behind your moped next time you're over there.  I'm sure* German plod would have no issues with that.

Might well be of course. But wouldn't surprise me if they're not. I know of one of these in nice condition that sold for 12k! Much as I love them I'd be the first to admit there's no way they're worth anything like that.

I'm struggling to think of a less desirable car than a Skoda Rapid convertible. Absolutely horrid things. The sub-genre of cars designed as saloons and then turned into convertibles has definitely produced some of the worst vehicles ever built - Visa convertible, anything by Crayford, Skoda, PT Cruiser, various Astras and Escorts... I can't think of a single one I wouldn't be deeply embarrassed to drive, and I used to own a Reliant Regal van.

note  - a Skoda Rapid coupé is an absolute stonking motor and I'd love one

You may well have a point, sir :-D

but expect someone will bid on it which'll knock out the 'best offer' facility.

....which they already have ?

Billy, I'm quite sure you only put that Anglia there to tease me.  It's lovely!

That looks like the original front tyre on that.  Would suggest being very circumspect whilst cornering in the wet...

Looks pretty , but no danglies, an Indenor and Wrong Hand Drive make it a mere pastiche of the real bASe.

I posted that on April 2nd, you'd have thought he'd have got the hint by now....
