With my parrot on my shoulder, I rise up from the peat, more black than blue – complete with tattoo! Copyright owned by Jay Cool, June 2018 (ex Fen dweller) Continue reading “Lady Bluebeard”

Day 3: Game for a Day in Shrewsbury?
Far from over. Friendly Poo image courtesy of Pixabay.com Famous last words that have returned to haunt me. I, Jay Cool, am sitting here on the luxury loo in my ensuite at The Red Lion’s Lodge, faced with a stark (runny) reminder of yesterday’s indulgences at Ellesmere’s Asian Spice restaurant. Coriander, cumin and turmeric, smellsContinue reading “Day 3: Game for a Day in Shrewsbury?”

Sudbury’s Comedian of the Day
Bill. Bill the newbie comedian. Fresh talent to take the stage. Bill Newbie And I, Jay Cool, blogger extraordinaire, am here at The Brewery Tap to enjoy a slice of the action. But, first things first! A pint of mango cider, please! With mangoes in hand, I proceed. Fresh mangos comforting each other atContinue reading “Sudbury’s Comedian of the Day”

‘The Free Metro’ (Friday June 8, 2018)
A baby. No mother. A lesbian. A fling. And a hammer swing. Shotgun pellets. Stab attack. And a drill. Tributes to a King. And Mimi in trouble. All wrapped up in a Metro bubble. Lost lives and rubble. Trapped. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, June 8th, 2018
Day 2: Close Encounters with Prehistoric Giants in Ellesmere
And here he is – Richard Maddox, the ancestor from Myddle, responsible for the unfortunate revelation that my hubby is very likely some kind of a distant cousin, and – my – he’s huge! He’s carrying a great barn (1) on his vast Herculean back. He’s more giant than the humungous-dwarf oxymoron in Marvel’s ‘InfinityContinue reading “Day 2: Close Encounters with Prehistoric Giants in Ellesmere”
Angel of the North at Leestock?
Neil Barber, aliases Prince Harry & Kenny Everett Blunt scissors and flat notes. Turns out our Neil Barber, like his doppelganger Prince Harry, is not so sharp after all. “You got the brains; I get the celebrity!” (image labelled as Creative Commons Licensed from http://www.theurbangent.com/2011/04/prince-william-of-wales.html) Barber’s notes are so flat that he hates musiciansContinue reading “Angel of the North at Leestock?”
Lazy (or Crazy?) Town Star Visits Leestock
Empty. An empty vessel in a field of festive folk. An empty tent with a no-brain jester’s hat sitting on its laurels, awaiting an audience. Time for action. Time for a filler, and I, Jay Cool, blogger extraordinaire, have just the wig for the job. I take off with my wig, and work theContinue reading “Lazy (or Crazy?) Town Star Visits Leestock”
The Cool Westgate Duet
He may well have been booted off Britain’s Got Talent by the great man himself (and no I’m not referring to our pal Simon Cowell – the great man is David Walliams, Jay Cool’s role model), but, personally speaking, I confess to having a bit of a soft spot for ‘our’ Martin. Martin Westgate atContinue reading “The Cool Westgate Duet”
