Heartland

Got out of my (black) car after work the other day, resplendant in (black) MR shirt and (black) combats. Shades a neccessity due to bastard hayfever. Kid from over the road pulls up next to me on his bike and asks in total innocence;

"Are you a Gangster..?"

...You couldn't make it up, could you?


p.s. I'm not.

Yeah yeah. That's what I try to tell them. It's not fooling anyone is it?

It isn't

And then when you take them off to prove it, they go like 'oh, so you're a vampire, too, I see...'

Wait till August 8. I bought a hawaiian shirt and 'teensletsen' just for the Lokerse Feesten hehe...


IZ.

It's true! With my baldie 'eed, black clothes and shades I could pass for the third Mitchell brother who are self-styled, bit-part gangsters... oops.

Evening Norm,

Well you lot should have some idea.

Obviously it won't affect you lot languishing in whatever division you're in these days, but the individual TV deal he'll sort will have a detrimental knock-on to everyone else.

Until he's gone, I couldn't care less. With 50% increased ticket prices and worse players over time, it's a wonder anyone will turn up at all. The sooner that happens the better. C**t.

I have heard only some "Highlander" and some "Neo / Matrix" notes about myself earlier.
Now I'm just a very simple guy, hope strangers don't notice me anymore.

BTW, City Of Satan is one of Turbonegro songs!

I'll go CyberGothic if gets a glimp of me we can forget the rest of the Tour

I mentioned this before on a previous 'heckles' thread, but it probably bears re-telling.

Wearing black T-shirt, black jeans, black boots, black leather bikers jacket, and black shades (not as a fashion statement, it was a very sunny day).

A bunch of workmen hanging over some scaffolding started shouting

"Hasta la vista, baby!"

and

"He'll be back!

That really is uncharacteristically witty for Glaswegian builders.
Ah... the patter...

Best I've ever had off that particular profession is "cheer up love!"
To which I reply "Go get yerself a proper job..."

God, I could compile a book of the "amusing" comments that have been made to me over the years.

NECROPHILE! was one of the more alarming ones...

Off a 11-year-old boy as well...

lol.

anyone els thinks its a sad thing if that boy knows what a Necrophile is?

I always find

GOTH!!!

highly amusing.

Nothing gets past you does it?

the eleven year-old obviously came from a better read family of intolerant in-breds.

Yep - got this one last night (For those who are interested - long black net skirt, black net top with a spiderweb design, long black hair, black boots, dark purple lipstick and black eyeshadow - "goth? moi? )

Old hands of Heartland - is there any other kind? - will know the wide array of comments I receive regarding my beloved, battered, Fedora.

People suck.
