THICK AS A BRICK
Well, I had a look around the final bits of TK Maxx's final, final clearance of the January sales stock today, being a thrifty sort who likes to sift through old rubbish (which reminds me ... I need to tidy up my blog archives).
Mind you, this *sale* was beyond the *pale* - a few racks of shapeless black cardigans. They looked as if they'd been used as bedding for a litter of irate tiger cubs. Covered in bobbles, dubious white patches, holes and pulled out stitches ... for which they were still asking £6. I ask you! Should've been paying us at least a tenner to take them away.
There were some boots left in the sale, but, as expected, they were flat tan boots with thick crepe soles and cream flowery applique detail on the sides. The sort of thing that Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull would have worn circa Ring Out Them Solstice Bells (or whatever it's called). He would've worn them with brown corduroy breeches, a collarless white surplice, a tweed waistcoat (*westkit*??) and deerstalker hat. These boots were only available in a size nine. I mean to say, exactly how many six foot two, transgender progressive rock fans live in the Bexleyheath area?
Here is a picture of Ian Anderson in ~happier times~
Anyone who wishes to provide a suitable or amusing caption for the picture is welcome to do so, at the risk of winning a special Betty Hearts Disco t-shirt that's worth £55.99, but has been reduced to £8 in the TK Maxx sale. There are sweat patches under the arms, the seams are coming undone and there's some sort of burn mark on the front, but it's still a bargain, yeah?

AGENTS SLIDING DOWN THE CHIMNEY
Oh, Dana, I love you, you anti-abortionist beeeyatch you.
Here is Dana droning on and on about the fact that it will be a cold, cold, cold, cold Christmas. She is going to miss you in *oh so many ways*, but don't worry about it too much as she has got a vari-speed vibrator.
"Yesterday I saw your mum and dad/We bought our cards together". Aren't those the greatest lines ever written in the history of recorded song? Yes dear, thank you for making us feel really envious of your glamorous, jet set rock star lifestyle.
I wonder how many hours it took the TOTP crew to assemble the chrome piping on this unique set?
As far as this Christmas goes in my world, it looks like being a Bette Davis-esque bumpy night, for various reasons. Yikes! I'm sure I'll come out of it at the other side feeling stronger, and will be able to laugh about it in a few years' time.
A merry Christmas to one and all who read/comment/tolerate/slag off this blog. I wish I could give you all a deep, lingering kiss and that I could playfully bite the inside of your upper lips - or do I mean your inner thighs?
xxxxx
By the way, anyone who can explain the significance of the title of the post will win a "BETTY HEARTS DISCO" t-shirt with seasonal festive trim (only currently available in 28 inch chest size, but it's a freebie, yeah?)
