So, I'd better make this quick as its almost 1am and I'm supposed to be up and raring to go early tomorrow to get those last annoying little jobs sorted, before I can relax and maybe enjoy my last day in the old hometown. As I walked through the town later this afternoon on my way for a farewell drink, I was reminiscing over certain places in the town. The Quarry for one which to non-Salopians is actually a park and not the type of place found on the outskirts of Jersey where Tony Soprano used to dump 'Whacked' associates, which I always remember as a child walking through every Sunday morning with my mum to feed the plethora of ducks who waited patiently by the bridge to be fed (1970's Shrewsbury didn't get much more exciting than this) or the side street that I once got dropped on my head (what kind of parent lets their one and only child be picked up by someone who has just emerged from their Christmas party and proceeds to sling you over their shoulder and onto a cold December pavement?) I still mention this from time to time that I could still sue my mum for mental cruelty or some such thing. But, the usual response is along the lines that being dropped on my head explains quite a lot about me.

Well, I had hoped to find some you tube gems of old Salop, but all I could find was Pizza Hut On Fire In Shrewsbury! or various chav football hooligans and boy racers, which brings us to Darwin's Evolution of the species http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjv63nSyUh8 Though this was pretty cool and nearly as exciting as getting a mention on The Colbert Report http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nrSi7-_Pj4
It's just political correctness gone mad. Anyway I'd better go, those old gravestones of executed Royalist spies won't sweep themselves you know.
