Boonie Hound Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 There was a flurry of snow outside my window but now it's all melted ☹️ Brilliant inter county snowball fights - launches snow missiles in a 'get them quick' strike.

La vache espagnole Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Slough - by John Betjeman Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death! Come, bombs and blow to smithereens Those air -conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans, Tinned minds, tinned breath. Mess up the mess they call a town - A house for ninety-seven down And once a week a half a crown For twenty years. And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears: And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell. But spare the bald young clerks who add The profits of the stinking cad; It's not their fault that they are mad, They've tasted Hell. It's not their fault they do not know The birdsong from the radio, It's not their fault they often go To Maidenhead And talk of sport and makes of cars In various bogus-Tudor bars And daren't look up and see the stars But belch instead. In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails. Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough To get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now; The earth exhales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-B Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 jezus, i just thought of those things when i worked in slough centre. now i know that they are endemic of a longer term problem. thank goodness i don't work there anymore. it's the only place you can feel equally unsafe 24 hours a day on some streets. some folks i know would rather go to the deep east end than slough, which tells me a lot... slough, just say NO Steve B Big Black Beast^3 SV VHPD Join us on the USA 2005 tour......HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I have the Slough poem pinned on my notice board at work Slough doesn't really have weather - apart from a constant chocolatey / peanutty (depending on the wind) fog from the Mars factory. It is a grey and uninspiring place, even when the sun is shining elsewhere ☹️ If you're going to lob things at Slough please be accurate in your aim - I would hate for them to land in Burnham, home of H5 URF Tam (not from Slough) Calvert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hey, leave Slough alone! I lived there.....briefly.....before I moved to Cookham. I got married there. It's not as bad as people reckon! And, by the way, b*ll*cks to Betjeman, one of the worst poets I ever had to endure reading at school. Bourgeois old git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meldrew Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 😳They obviously didn't think we were attractive enough for us to be asked to participate, actually. Probably because we got married in Slough. Snobbish lot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 All poetry is cack and girly if you ask me, forced upon us by bloomin' EngLit teachers with too much facial hair and Lat Techers with a metal leg. Unless of course it has drums and guitars as backing ... "Finished with my woman 'cos she doesn't help me with my mind" .... now THAT is proper poetry. Excellent use of the word "Bourgeois" .... what with that and his recent "Anaglypta" reference I vote Melders for shedly new word champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 You're right. "The Wasteland" would be so much better if, say, Cozy Powell, were allowed to help with the recitation. Ozzy for poet laureate. I don't remember mentioning "Anaglypta"...must have been Evil Robot Meldrew. Still, she's a lovely girl.

Micky Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Meldrew and Slough ..... a frightening combination The best bit of Slough is/was the never-ending slip road from the M4 Westbound into Slough, a huge left hander that tightened, I wonder if the bits of Yamaha I left on that curve in the late 1980's are still there ..... Can't remember anything else good about Slough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
