What's happening in YOUR area?

[mrgins]

Just thought, since many of us live in the far corner of the world as well as around Selhurst, if people wanted to share stories from your area; funny, tragic, human interest or...?
Here goes.
1) Burlington Free Press this weekend: The governor of Vermont looked out his window the other day and saw mama bear and three cubs invading his bird feeder. Residents are always advised to take down bird feeders at this time of year as bears are waking from hibernation, are hungry, and have an affinity to birdseed. He rushed out, grabbed the feeder and ran back into the house with mama bear barely five feet away in hot pursuit.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention the gov sleeps in his birthday suit and had got up to see what the ruckus was. Vermont press media had a field day with the headlines!
2) This weekend, in the Church St marketplace, Burlington, Jon Fishman, founder of the former band Phish, got a group together to create a Guinness world record for number of people accompanying on cowbells. Approx 1600 people paid $12-$100 per person (going to charity) to step into an enclosed area with provided cow bells and play along with the band. Ben & Jerrys was giving out free ice cream and are responsible for confirming the record with Guinness. I showed up toward the end but it was still fun
3) Driving home the other night (slowly and sober I might add!), a shadowy figure dressed in black stepped out onto the pedestrian walkway without giving me time to brake. Luckily he stepped back after realising his mistake. As I passed, I realised it was the chief of police for Winooski. His name? Steve McQueen!

LONDON, SE19: my neighbour is weeing in his garage, where he is sleeping rough. And recently he was spotted going up to the local church grounds for a shit.

Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo sparked comments among Indonesian Twitter users on Monday after a photo of him giving the middle finger was spread on Twitter.

Fauzi confirmed it was indeed a picture of him, but added he was unaware of what the gesture meant.

“I don’t understand those kinds of things. I didn’t understand until now. Do all band members [make this gesture]?” Fauzi said in Jakarta on Monday.

I was hoping for unusual stories!

"Albion supporters urged to get on their bikes"

My thoughts exactly.

Planes all flying over SE19 the wrong way.

Gatwick's shut.

We recently had our 15 minutes with the duck caught up in a plastic bag that 25 firemen were not allowed to go near.

Glad to report nothing much in this bit of Selhurst, although Tesco Metro refuses still to restart stocking 25g Drum Gold, which they stopped a while ago despite doing so for full strength. I may have to take action soon. Still no sign of anything happening to Selhurst Arms. A few more For Sale signs up for flats after nothing in past few years. Dog poo started reappearing on pavement after some months respite when previous culprit moved.

CR5 is in the grip of a crime wave with the people opposite us having a childs toy car stolen from their garden in the early hours of the morning (luckily the culprits were forced to drop their swag due to a neighbour shouting at them).

And I would guess that members of the same gang attempted to break into the Priests house at St Aidens.

Along with lots of Police activity including helicopter over-head in the Chipstead Valley Road/Rickman Hill area a couple of days ago.

Its becoming like a ghetto.

We had some roadworks last week. The independent coffee shop has been forced to move premises after being outbid on the rent for their previous business unit.

Almost forgot. I don't know how to retrieve posts from other threads, but if you look at post#5756 on the googleperving thread, you'll see the same pose that a young female was using while gardening yesterday as I drove by. Almost did a quick Uturn to get a second look but felt a bit too pervy. Who says nothing happens here!

Yesterday mid-evening, I was driving along one of the main avenues in Christchurch called Bealey Ave. Parked on a street corner was a drain/sewer cleaning tanker/truck. What caught my eye was the advertising on the side, with the telephone number 0800 SUCK FOR YOU. What made this even funnier was that it was parked at the intersection with Manchester Street, notorious for being a "red light" area and, yes, standing just a few metres along the footpath was a tart touting for business. The combination of that person, in that location with that telephone number - definitely LOL.

Guy from the local shop rang me to see what my text message to him on saturday was about.I explained his Dad had given me and my mate a pound to stick on any horse we fancied at the bookies. I told him it was the name of the horse we had backed for him (About Pete I think it was called) he then asked me if I had seen my neighbour as he needed to see him. I said no as I do not talk to the drunken git anymore.

Is this really the sort of thing you are after Ray? Seems a bit dull to me.

BTW: My neighbour is called Pete , same name as the horse, and both losers.

Still dull.

EDIT: Forgot to say it was a horse in the National.

The woman with large breasts and a convertible Renaut Megane three doors down is definitely having an affair.
