Designed in 1992 by Alan Parkinson, the luminaria are hand made and assembled in an old lace factory in Nottingham. Their coloured pieces of PVC encourage sunlight to shine through creating a unique experience. This coupled with the relaxing music creates an inflatable structure of chillaxing. Please don't run
This in an example of something I was stewarding at the weekend. It indeed is an amazing structure and one that, with your first experience, makes you laugh, cry, chilled, complacent. It was a joy to be a steward when the weather was warm outside, and not many people were there. But when it was sleeting it down and was windy, and at full capacity, and children ran around jumping off the walls then it made the job a lot more unlikeable.
An old mate from Leeds had contracted a few of us to come and steward the structure for the travelling company that had brought it. However he had said that two chaps from college were coming too. Two lads that most people liked, and I tolerated, on a good day. A very very good day.
The day started ok, but one of the lads has a very interesting mind. He likes to see the best in all situations. So here we are, freezing our tits off outside this bouncy castle thing that wasn't a bouncy castle, and it's raining, and our feet are cold too, and i say 'fuck me this is shit.' He replies, 'well don't see it like that. In some countries, these kids would be soldiers.' Now I'm no expert on either Peace studies or biology, but I am pretty certain that 4 year old girls and boys don't have the strength and dexterity in their fingers to hold AK-47s. Then he'd walk around singing and dancing, at the top of his voice, like old times. People don't want to hear the fuckin guitar for three hours on tea-on-the-landing for fucks sake!
'I've experienced something different today...the green light bouncing off your bald head.' I don't mind mates joking about my baldness, but mates only please.
PRICK
This went on for two days, and I was ready for smacking him. 'No-one has ever gunned down a New York Police Chief before' those words of Sal in Godfather Part 1. But they did it, and it ripped everything open. I should have smacked him. I'm not sure anyone ever has. Extroverts also have things to hide and hide that. Introverts have things to hide but people know it too.

You may well be bald but he will always be a knob. And eventually, he'll be a bald knob.
ReplyDeleteFar too much knob talk there.
....Anyway, have you ever hit anyone?
