This is a picy of Dudley town centre. If you think this was
taken after we had sacked the place then you would be wrong. Careful viewers
will notice that we are just entering the city gates. Dudley always looks like
this. I blame poor town planning and a lack of civic responsibility among its
denizens. In fact on this occasion me and lads couldn’t actually bring
ourselves to do any actual pillaging. Both my mighty swords, the shiny one and
the pink one remained fully sheathed and impotent. I
cleaned up some of the skulls which had overflowed into a kiddies park area.
Yorick’s bonce was nowhere to be found. Alas, I didn’t know him. Harold 'The Herald’ was on carrion duty and
sat on a park bench feeding the vultures. Athelstan ‘The Unsteady’, was
molested by a wandering troop of scout masters. Cnut, as usual was a sweating
and still unable to spell his name correctly. Erik ‘The Eunuch’ kept bragging
about his prowess in the bedroom. This is not as farfetched as it sounds as
Erik, these days, is well known to sport a strap on. At the end of the day we
retired to the local tavern, ‘The Felching Friar.’ I met the Friar on one
occasion. This turbulent Priest suffered severely from halitosis, can’t think
why. My advice: Never accept a straw from this man. We all got absolutely shit
faced on mead and crème de menthe. Note to self: In future crème de menthe
should be a daintily sipped from a small glass and not quaffed mightily from a quart
flagon.
To be honest, it looks exactly like the Abbey Garden in Bury St Edmunds before they plant it out for 'Bury in Bloom'
ReplyDeleteShit, if that be the case then Bury St Edmunds is on the list for a burning and a looting. But to be honest this reiver has a soft spot for pretty flowers. Yes, murdering barbarians are complex, quirky, and full of whims. Arse.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm complex. After a hard day of rape and pillage I like nothing better than a hot scented bath bestrewn with rose petals. Once dressed, I mercilessly roger the nearest serving wench before retiring to a light supper of pheasant, roast duck and capons. Tis a hard life being a Dark Age barbarian, but one copes the best one can.
ReplyDeleteComplex you call it?
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
Not the word I would have chosen, but, heh, your blog. I can't delete you for your own good!
