What??????????????????

[daz]

Heyup Daz, howzit going pal?
Not too bad these days, a bit short of puff but there you go, after a life-time of smoking Woodbines and crawling behind a shearer’s bum that was just about inevitable. The bad back, sore knees and angina are more than likely a result of an active social life, the rickets, ringworm and Hitler are probably easier blamed on Tony Capstick…………..bless him.
Do you find that you miss the pit?
I do really, I miss the craic and the hydraulic oil most I suppose. The black eyes and black nails, having three showers each day, canteen pies and tea, chowing bacca and most of all the first Woodbine after a twelve hour shift.
What about the knee pads and the pit boots?
No I don’t miss them at all, I still wear them every Saturday afternoon when I go shopping with the missus and I wouldn’t be seen dead without them at weddings and other special occasions.
Still as daft as ever then?
Yes thanks……………………………………………………….

Funny as ever Baz, when are you going to put us out of our misery and finish the Spanisg saga??

I had to look the word Spansig up, at first I thought it was a Freudian typo similar to Baz for Daz, but knowing that you are a man of some intellect I sort of guessed that the word Spansig was correct, so thanks Jim.
