Please Release Us .............

Gusts of wind in excess of 80 mph have been recorded this morning at the Needles as they pass over the Isle of Wight on their way to Lesley.

We are marooned in our caravan with another hour before high tide and the sea already reaching the road just in front of us.

My gastro experience has already provoked much response including a missive from the Loose Antipodean Canon in Nigeria:

I went for a MRI scan here in Nigeria today, not as exciting as your trip to Frimley Park but a slightly amusing and embarrassing moment was walking around in a hospital garment with my ass hanging out and the MRI operator, a Muslim woman in full hajid, suggesting that I could have left my boxers on.

Earlier in the week he had communicated the following:

It’s been a bit of a difficult week as several staff have been killed by Boko Haren (Al Qaeda group in Nigeria). They also blew up 3 churches on Sunday and 300 people killed in a plane crash yesterday.
The joys of Nigeria!


All I can say is the pay must be good!

After difficulty in opening yesterdays blog, The Welsh Bard came up with this warning:

The Baltzer Blog was bugged, and took its time
To reach his avid fans, of whom I’m one.
It wasn’t Chris’s normal ball of fun,
No mix of piss-ups, plants and pantomime,
But was, in truth, a nightmare tale, and I’m
Alarmed to contemplate what he’s begun -
I only hope that justice will be done,
As he’s involved in pretty serious crime...
The rain may keep on falling, nationwide,
But reservoirs are empty, so it’s planned
That hosepipe bans are rigorously applied –
The law is firm in regions where they’re banned...
Yet Chris admits he’s had a garden hose
Inside his gob, and EVERYBODY KNOWS!


And after my earlier rant about the UK going to the dogs, the Welsh Bard has come up with his version of Englebert’s “Please Release Me”,

Please release him BBC,
Chris won’t pay the licence fee.
ITV is just as bad:
Singing dogs – the world’s gone mad!

Brains have given up their beer,
And coffee is their latest cheer,
But whether taken black or white,
It’s guaranteed to taste like shite.

Engelbert is past his prime,
And that talent show’s a crime.
Hump and dogs may be the rage,
But Chris refuses to engage.

With acts too canine or too old,
Though, if truth be really told,
Selsey’s schedule is a feast
Of acts that should have been released!


Here’s a chance to sing along with Englebert, just substitute the words above:




Apologies to the author for the extra verse that I inserted!

The road in front of the caravan is now completely flooded and ready to run over to where we are situated and still 30 minutes until high tide.


 

 

















All I can say is:




Hey Ho!
