Dark Was The Night

A few years ago, the neighbours whose garden backs onto ours were having a party. A fortieth I think it was. Anyway, after a while the patio doors get opened (even though it was dark and cold) and the party starts to spill out into the garden. A little later we hear the unmistakeable sounds of a fight starting. Women screaming, glasses smashing and much effing and jeffing. At the height of the fisticuffs one of the fightees shouted:

"I'm gonna 'ave you yer funny-looking bugger !"

Now because it was dark I couldn't see the "funny-looking bugger" and i was *dying* to. I mean he must have looked very funny if the bloke he's fighting has to comment on it. I wonder if his funny-lookingness started it ?

I never found out who the FLB was - dispite much questioning.

Just one of those things you overhear and it sets ou mind working overtime. A few others I have collected over the years include:

"......Five of 'em. Covered in boils"

".......Aye I know you like buying stuff hen, but that's crap"

And my favourite:

"............Left me there stinking of shit"
