Ms Raccoon regrets… – The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on January 7, 2012

That in an act of callous disregard for your moral and ethical well being – she has fled the Raccoon coop for an entire week. Thoughtless of me, I know, but too late to let the dogs out, the scent is long gone.

Since the early hours of this morning, Ms Raccoon has been poking her bony finger into Mr G’s back and demanding to know whether ‘it is nearly time to go yet’…finally with an exasperated roar of ‘for God’s sake woman’ he agreed to rise and make the tea, put the rubbish out, make my breakfast, pack the van with three ton of medication, along with all his other morning duties, and drive me the 1000 odd kilometres – to Jersey! Naturally as soon as he was ready to leave, I fired up the computer and demanded silence whilst I penned this.

Jersey in January may seem an odd choice; I am actually looking forward to the grey skies, the 100 mile an hour winds, the long faces, the soggy fish and chips, and the mangled English as spoken by everyone doing a job which entails getting up in the morning and putting in a hard day’s work. I’ve thrown my wellie boots in the back of the van, the only thick jumper I now possess (still t-shirt weather here!) and a woolie hat to cover my bald pate…and we’ve gone.

Please keep the bar clean, and be polite to any strangers. Back on the 16th. Be there.

@GTM – that reminded me of a (possibly apocryphal) press
apology-

Last week we stated that Councillor Smith doesn’t have the
brains of a vole.
We are happy to accept assurances that he does

And in other news David Cameron has apologised for comparing being heckled
by Ed Balls as like being heckled by someone with Turette’s Syndrome. He is
right to do so. If I had Turette’s I too would be apalled at being cmpared to
such a foul mouthed low grade thug.
F****!

We’re within spitting distance of St Malo or Granville – any chance of
bringing us back a few spuds? You’d be very welcome to park your wheels afore
the long trek southwards – we’ve got cashews and wine gums – just the things
you’ll need to wean yourself back into normal life!

What??? Were the hell am I going to find a blog that has posts on hegelian
principles at this short notice?
Oh well, just need to go and make myself a
proper vodka martini and figure out how to sneak the nuts out from under
SBML’s nose.
Enjoy – you’ll be missed.
