All buried and dusted

July 10
It is all done and buried now. Germany won with some quite nice work by Pigsticker angela says Swinesteiger means. Ronaldo should have collected a full house of PINK lacey cards for all his acrobatics and Gosh I'm Seriously Injured And Outraged expressions. angela said the best would have been if he'd genuinely had a kneecap hacked off in the penalty area and the ref not only ignored it but gave him a red card for stimulation and diving. So har har for cheating. I don't think he'll be a welcome sight on a pitch outside Portugal for a year or two. Possibly Italy of course. Or Uruguay.

Quel tete de butt, I mean Zidane, of course, just the bits of French I remember from college. What was he thinking of? Nothing is the answer. If he'd been thinking at all he wouldn't have banged Mazerati in the bosom like that. I think Mazerati must have made a comment about Zidane being Arabic. I can't hink of anything else that would make someone as experienced like Zidane do the headbanging on him otherwise. He must be the loneliest person in the world today.

It will feel funny not having the World Cup on the telly, with such people as David Lineker and that Scottish man with the mad eyes I can never quite understand properly. All very interesting comments especially about whether or not it was offside from eight different angles. I don't know what I'll do with myself now, Bloggs.
Imbluefella would have been good company, but all is left is two little feathers by the photo and the duck on the mantelpiece. I do miss him.
I don't think I'll see Dennis so much now either. He didn't get the policeman job but won't tell me why. Just something about inappropriate behavoiour and language and a broken ******* ashtray, well not really an ashtray which was the cause of the problem I think because it was a No Smoking police station which they hadn't warned him about. *** the ******* lot of them was all he said. I got the feeling that he has reached a sort of crisis in his life and will have to think carefully whether he wants to stay round here or move on again.

angela came to the door with two big bags and eyes like puppydogs because she had nowhere to go at all. I said have you tried the seamens home or the Salivation Army? But she said no and looked away and rather sad. So I tried another idea about trying the crypt in the Saint Rupert's church which is always being broken into by people who are in her condition, and she said no too. Well those are good ideas I would try, I said and she said yes of course and turned round do go down the stairs, but then I had another idea. If you've got a sleeping bag you can stay in the kitchen part here if you want to, and she turned round like Father Christmas did when he was giving us a surprise when I was little. Here eyes were wet with smiles and she said ooH Thankyou. You are a wonderful person, Frank. Oh Frank thankyou and so on, and had a big tin of beans in her bag which she made onto toast for us both and put an ornament with some dry flowers on the windowsill. Then she said what is that funny smell in here and poked about under the sink then said Uggg in big letters and picked up the stick I use for poking cats. Oh no, she said… just look. And yes ,it was Imbluefellas sad remains all mangled and chomped with no head. Oh Frank what shall we do with him?
So now he is back in the windowbox where he belongs with some more cress seeds on him, to take up nature's goodness as angela said.

It is tomorrow now and it feels funny having someone else sleeping in the room. It smells different as well, and its not just the stink Imblufella was making, though not his fault.
Bye for now Bloggs.

angelas problem

Oh dear, Bloggs... angela has just come round to say she is being asked to leave her flat, well it is a big room really with a cooking corner nailed on. The landlord thinks he will make more money letting it to lots of people who don't seem to look you in the eye, angela says. She thinks they are illegal immigarnts.
So what is she going to do?
Oh dear. She hasn't got any family any nearer than Southend and she doesn't get on with her mother or the new step-father. And I think she hasn't got many friends either.
What on earth can she do, Bloggs? And Germany are playing Portugal tonight which I hope Germany will win because the Portugese were pink-carding all over the place against England with leaps and tumbles that would have gone well in the Sirk Sollay I think it is. What a pity Ronaldo is such a prat because he is such a master of the ball.
So I am looking forawrd to it. Perhaps angela will come and watch it with me.
That's all for now. It is time too eat a sandwich.

Down again

July the third

Well it was awful, wasn't it? angela came over like she said she would because in the end Dennis was too busy with mending his motorbike ready for going to his interview.
I was saying how boring part one was, and angela said it was inept and lacking in penetrative imagination. Then Rooney got fed up waiting and barged into a few people and jumped on one like a mad bull in a china shop. What is he doing, I asked and angela said he is full of tostesterone just oozing out of him and is stamping his authority on one of the opposition, unfortunately in an illegal mode with leaving stud marks on his family airlooms.
So yes he was just stupid. It was a pity about the red card though. Perhaps a yellow one would do, except that he would still be on the pitch of course.
I have been thinking about Dennises reforms like the PINK card, and have one of my own which I explained to angela.
Why don't we have ten minutes for an offender to have his bootlaces tied together? He wouldn't be able to do much except hop about like a skittle and would feel really stupid so he wouldn't do it again. Then after ten minutes the ref would untie him and off he would go again, perhaps sadder and wiser we would hope.

The second part was better with the Ten Heroes as angela said, all charging off on their white chargers to do the decent think while the band played the Great Escape yet again. But it was all pointless because when they finally got to the end they couldn't kick a ball into the net. angela said she could tell by Lampards eyes that he was going to miss before he even put his ball on the white spot, and she thought the same about Gerrard too, and the team were overall just incompetent to do the simplest thing of the game, to kick the ball in a straight line. All through the both halves they passed to the opposition and did not do the obvious thing which is to always pass to someone you know. And then right at the end they couldn't score pelanties, even though they have practised.
So goodbye again.
And goodbye Sven. I hope you think you were worth the twenty million pounds or whatever that football fans have paid you. I wonder what you will spend it all on? I would buy a new toastmaker for a start I think.
And goodbye David B. You have been a hero all along and carried the rest of them and we are very sorry for you. Thankyou for giving us all hope angela says, and she cried a little cry into her hankie when she saw you were crying too.

I think the hole in the windowbox was dug up by the cat from one of the other rooms, probably the Somali people. It is a gingerybrown colour and can actually climb up walls by gripping into the gaps between the bricks. So it has climbed up and dug out poor old Imbluefella and eaten him. Well, I suppose that is natures way, but its very sad to lose your friend by being eaten by a spiderman cat. There were two loittle blue feathers on the floor which is proof. I have put them in an envelope next to the photograph angela took of us both. I seem to always call her angela not Angela because she is so quiet and thoughtful. Dennis should rreally be DDDennis I suppose.
Tomorrow I have to go to the clinic again. I hope they don't give me more injections.
Goodnight Bloggs. Happy dreams.
