'ER INDOORS'
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A DAC DRIVER'S WIFE...
New Year Just Like The Old?
Well the New Year is finally here and I really thought that surely our luck
must change, HUH? After a catalogue of problems i.e. me stalling my jeep in the
middle of the road, flooding the engine and then the final embarrassment of the
police having to help remove me (oooh yes - and the jeep too)!
I had so much attitude when they approached me, that I thought
they would arrest me for an excessive bad mood, extreme use of a sour face and
the possession of an offensive weapon (sharp tongue)! In fact, I wish they had,
I could have done with the rest ha! ha!
And what about my dear hubby, Dac-man? His taxi, just wouldn't
start, followed quickly by his meter breaking down... I have a rather funny
feeling that this year is going to be the same as last year. And this is only
January!
On a lighter note, and please don't ask me how, but I somehow
managed to shut my hubby's head in my jeep door, followed unfortunately quickly
by jamming the dogs head in the dishwasher! Due to my health problems, whenever
I do something rather stupid such as this, I always blame it on my gait! I know
what you're thinking, what has the way she stands or walks got to do with
shutting heads in doors? Well nothing at all, I suppose, but it's worth a try,
don't you think?
But good news; I did win a competition. I was presented with a
framed picture and certificate of our area courtesy of getmapping.com and that
was well received. And are you ready for this? I won £10 on the lottery, can't
be all bad...!
Taxi Drivers Unite!
Do you remember my husband, Dac-man, being charged with splashing a passing
jogger who was jogging in the rain? Well to add to that unlucky start to the
year - and yep, you got it in one - he has now been summoned to court. I have
written to the CPS on his behalf to try to make them see sense, but I'm still
waiting to hear. So hold tight at Dial-a-Cab, you never know, we may need the
placards out yet for the Harold Hill Splasher alias the Romford One! If the
papers get hold of it, perhaps 'Dac-man splashes on jogger' would bring the
Society some publicity! Of course there is no such thing as bad publicity...!
I'll keep you informed. All hubby has said to me is that whatever
happens, I must NOT catch any police or their dogs heads, in any doors!
Talk again soon...
