Steve McQueen

Found a ball..in kitchen...out of Xmas cracker methinks....very bouncy : ) enjoyed playing with it....reminded me of ...UNIT 14 carpets ..: ) i worked at many years ago, after doing Today ..cryptic crossword ( not easy , but doable , sadly missed by Tony ) the rest of the day .... boredom prevailed .... but Alan my boss .. ( im on my own all day here , understand, if i got 6 people in all day ....i felt busy ) ...had made a ball ..from 100s of elastic bands.. : ) .... i used to throw it against the ...breeze blocks ..of my cell....and try and catch it!!! ...just like Steve McQueen in ..The Great Escape ..... having been encarcerated .. for 4 years ...i was released !!! having been paid weekly ..by cheque, with , payslip, showing deductions, tax, national insurance..etc ....i signed on for unemployment benefit...... YOUR not entitled to anything , they said , YOU havent paid anything !!!!! ....my payslips were as much a work of fiction as ever Dickens came up with .... FUCK YOU ALAN ....i did get what i was entitled too ..12 months later , and only then , with the good help of my wife, who was a civil servant at the time.
