Wow here we go for another week of ONE-2-THREE SHOWS!
First off during our music marathon, we paused to consider the results of one man’s burning desire to provide the right romantic ambiance to propose to his girlfriend.
The Sheffield man known only as “MULLY”, had really gone overboard and planned to pop the question over a romantic dinner to be washed down with copious quantity of wine.
To set the scene he decorated his flat with balloons, streamers and hundreds of tea light candles, which he set up in readiness for the big event.
He then nipped out to collect her, but unfortunately a draft of wind, caused the candles set fire to curtains and other material, turning the flat into an inferno, and no doubt incinerating the dinner as well!
All’s well that end’s well however, as in spite of his arsonist tendencies, she accepted his proposal just so long as he doesn’t have anything to do with the arrangements for the wedding.
I had hoped to be joined today by Margaret Mills for her regular book club review feature, but sadly Margaret is not feeling too well today but hopefully she’ll be back on her feet next week.
In the meantime we took a quick look at a bizarre story from Australia.
Now I have to say that I never cease to be amazed by the enormous diversity of what some people need to satisfy their fantasies. Being tied up by masked men armed with machetes and getting stroked by a broom seems somewhat bizarre to say the least, but apparently one man was prepared to cough up A$5000 if “it was really good”.
The whole fantasy was unscripted and there was discretion as to how it was to be enacted.
Well I guess that’s OK provided that after fixing everything, you keep whoever is handling all the arrangements in the loop should you change your address.
In this case the client identified only as “Kevin”, had indeed moved to a new address 30 miles away from his original lodgings but unfortunately news of this change of address did not filter down to those engaged to provide the scenario.
It is therefore easy to imagine the surprise of the new tenant of the flat in Western New South Wales to be abruptly woken from his slumbers to find 2 men standing by his bed clutching machetes and a broom.
In the meantime the real client managed to contact the men and their driver to ask where they’d got to.
The team did eventually reach ‘Kevin’, who then cooked them breakfast of bacon, eggs and noodles, by which time, exhausted by all that had occurred during the night, group leader, Leroy, fell asleep on the settee.
I wonder if they got paid!
I’ll see you again tomorrow,
Scott
