Won a goldfish at Hull Fair around '73/74.

Called it Waggy.

It did alright for a year or two, then my Auntie, Uncle and cousin came to stay and brought their cat with them.


We all went out for the day leaving Waggy and cat alone in the house.


You can guess the outcome...






True story.
Sooo did Waggy get furballs after eating the cat?
 
I had a great time at Fair on Saturday and I’ve always hated it, disliked it as a kid and then always dragged round by my Mrs , hate the crowds, the prices, the people …but afraid this year my hatred softened as my little girl couldn’t stop smiling , even the 90 quid shaped hole in my wallet didn’t dampen the spirits … also think it helped it was T shirt weather and not freezing bollocks off weather

Walked around fair tonight and it was nice to just see everybody back out and enjoying it. Great atmosphere, no signs of trouble, the lights, the smoke, the smells - all good.

Good to see various hand gel stations around the fair and people giving gel out at the main entrance/exits.

It was busy too.

Where did I say any of that crap?
Selfish denial what a load of bollocks. All those selfish deniers working in the food industry and tesco etc who kept gojng in. Selfish ****s.
Some of us had to carry on going to work and got the virus.

That’s got nothing to do with playing it down. I also worked every day, crammed in a room with 26 other humans who went off at various times with the virus. I took it seriously then and I take it seriously now. Nothing has changed except the law, and the virus doesn’t follow a law. I’ve been double jabbed, but people are still dying from it, so it remains as much a danger as it did 12 months ago.
If you want to call it “just a flu”, you do that if it helps you deal with it. Just know that the reality is that it isn’t “just a flu”.

We went last night. I really enjoyed it.

I thought it was no where near as busy as pervious years. I remember even a few years ago it was shoulder to shoulder. But last night it comfortably roomy.
 
Remember gioing in the boxing booth when i was young - you could try and last 3 rounds with Roger Tighe for a financial reward - no ****ing chance
