The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Hey, everything's okay, no need to edit your posts. I read it before anyway, and I understood what you meant, and actually I thought you could be right, although I hope it's not that bad really. It's just a small village, not Ukulore Valley. I hope. We'll see. I think they just need time.
When I asked: "Should I laugh or cry?", I didn't mean the people's approach towards me itself. (You know I'd have nothing against being burned at the stake for the Sisters ) The thing is, they confused TSOM with satanism. Now should I laugh? I don't think so.

Your story made me laugh, but when I think about it properly, it's sad that the 'civilised' world is still populated by so many morons._emma_ wrote:I recently moved from a big town to a tiny village where everybody knows everybody and the appearance of a new neighbour is quite a big event.
So I was hanging my newly washed Sisters T-shirt and some (black) underwear in the garden a few days ago, when a teenage neighbour saw me and said "WOW. You've got a pentagram on your t-shirt" and ran away. Then the next day as I was going down the road two kids whispered and giggled as they passed me.
And there's these coloured lenses I wear. And the homeless cats that come to my garden for food. And the (black) baby goat I picked as my pet. And the loud music with the weird howling vocals coming out of the car as I pull over by the shop. That, all added, plus the fact that I didn't go to the local church on Easter, resulted in a funny incident. 2 nights ago the old neglected shed near my house was on fire. It wasn't a huge fire, but big enough for the proper firefighter brigade to come with their equipment to put it out.
So, all the local residents gathered to watch the show and to talk about the possible causes. Everybody agreed that it must have been an arson, and amongst the voices I heard: "It must've been the new ones, apparently the music they listen to is called black metal and they worship Satan."
Should I laugh or cry?
BTW, I'm sorry about the shed- vodka and cigarettes and a pile of oily rags don't mix

I've had a couple of 'heckles' in the past which I actually thought were quite cool. In reverse chronological order...
One:
I had
Short Hair
Black T-Shirt
Black Jeans
Black Boots
Black Leather 'Bikers' Jacket
and (because it was a sunny day) Black Sunglasses.
Walked past some scaffolding and the thoughtful workmen stopped to take the time to shout at me:
"Hasta la vista baby!" and
"He'll be back!"
They probably thought they were insulting me but actually it made my day (being built a bit like Von - short and skinny - I don't get compared with Arnold Schwarzenegger very often...).
Two:
For about 6 years I had really long hair, combed straight back. When I eventually got my hair cut short, it went a bit wacky and, no matter what else I tried to do with it, it constantly fell into a natural quiff. This, seemingly combined with the aforementioned Black Leather Jacket, led a few wags to christen me "The Fonz". Personally, I don't recall Fonzie being blonde, but I accepted it as a compliment nonetheless...

They used to call me weird, a freak and all other thingz, because of three things:
1. I listened to black metal,
2. worshiped Satan and
3. made black candles out of stillborn babies.
Nowadays:
1. I earn more money playing my music than they'll ever make cleaning messy dishes in cheesy back-alley resto's or working the line in a dodgy old factory called Ssang Yong Motors Intrnl AKA Fukh Dis Baby Foods.
2. I know all of LaVey's, Lovecraft's and Crowley's works by heart and therefore am declared the unbeatable Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Champion at last year's GenCon.
3. My mother-in-law has the best running Ye Olde Candle Shoppe in Belgium, thus putting safe my old day's cash flow.
Don't get mad, get even....
IZ.

I think the worse I was ever called (it happened at several, weddings, funerals, clan meet ups etc.) was "a nice, well spoken, polite young man".

Thinking about it, the weirdest verbal abuse I ever received was when dressed in work clothes!
A few years back I worked as a cashier in Halifax Building Society. The 'corporate wear' for customer-facing roles at the time was a reasonably smart dark blue suit, with a blue & white striped shirt and a tie. I was on my way home one evening, over my shoulder was a blue and red rucksack/satchel thing that I carried my packed lunch etc in.
A bunch of neds started shouting some very strange abuse which started with
"You f*cking postman!"
and went on to
"Where's my council tax bill, you b*stard!"
To this day I'm still a bit concerned that when I put a smart suit on I apparently look like a postman...

The concept of 'suit' smart or otherwise is alien to me. I'm the Art School drop-out who never dropped out and got a job upon leaving.

Verbal abuse made me what I am today.
A crazy person who wants to have coffee with Von, and a shag with Zodiac. Sorry....... JB leaving so soon after I sent him my entire Clash collection has left me feeling .. Used.
At least I got Crotch Shots out of him!

Golden Hour of Blast vol.1 is in the post BeeP, if that is any consolation.

Mistly/Manningtree? Isn't that home of a rather sinister nuclear bunker which was open to the public and has now been shut down prior to being put to another use?
I'm a bit worried about what the new plan is. If Kelvedon Hatch is closed I'm moving to Iceland.
Or going to the supermarket ....
