This was a comment in reply to my last post of 2010 which listed my hopes for 2011 by WDI (Worker Dandyist International), it tickled me so I thought I would post it here (hopefully he won't mind)! You can tell it was composed by a chap though....... here is his list:
1) Ugg boots are outlawed due to the incessant shuffling being considered noise pollution.
2)Above-the-knee, chiffon pleated skirts and fully-fashioned nylons are the big fad of a quite windy 2011.
3)People of limited wit cease using the word 'literally' to mean the exact opposite.
4)They invent a lager that makes you thin.
5)The AGM of the Countryside Alliance gets attacked by wild bears and sexually excited stallions causing multiple injuries and many embarrassing deaths.
6)People remember how to riot properly.
7)Ben Goldacre is appointed Health Secretary while Gillian McKeith is jailed for quackery.
8)The kids drop their idiotic, made-up, 'street' accents in favour of RP.
9)The march of technology into the chasm of crapness is halted and film cameras, analogue sound and CRT televisions become commonplace again.
10)Ostriches become the new vehicle of choice for the smart set.

I like that way of thinking!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I sign for an ostrich? Would be quicker than my train. Bet a feathered friend would not be affected by "rain on the track"
ReplyDeletePleased to be of amusement, Madam. I think I could probably publish a 10 volume book on my hopes, hates and death-lists.
