Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
It was a nasty day weather wise so I watched an old Dickens film out in the cabin, there was a female gang inside the house with Phyllis and several of her sisters so I got off side for a while. The film was David Copperfield, I really enjoyed it, hadn’t seen it for a very long time, wasn’t Dickens just about the best writer ever.You all know the story, towards the end the crooked solicitor (Ron Moody in this version) is confronted by the aggrieved parties in his office, he’s not expecting what is about to happen, the old Aunt is looking very serious and he offers her a drink, she comes out with a beauty “No thank you, I’ll not be cork-screwed out of my senses”
Now if I had a fiver for every time I was cork-screwed out of me senses I’d be a wealthy man today. Phyllis says that I’d promise the Sun Moon and Stars when I have a few jars on me, I just can’t say no to people, she has to keep telling them up in the local and the neighbours on the street that I’m retired now and not doing jewellery anymore, so they try to collar me when she's not around and 'cork-screw' me by buying me pints.
Come to think of it I had a few on me the night I asked her to marry me, Dutch courage, I forgot that I had asked her the next day but she didn’t, I supposed one could say I was cork-screwed into marriage too, Jem Twist.
Any of you lot ever get cork-screwed out of your senses?

I don't have a David Copperfield bottom.
I'm lazy too.
