Words written on being asked to buy a JET-FM Lottery Ticket

DC,

We're fundraising for the radio with a confined closed draw - 300
Members 12 draws - 60 prizes good prospects! €5 per month - 12 months or 12 draws.

Would you like to be included?

Thanks,

P


Podge,

We all want to be included - it's a basic human need!! However, you are today taking advantage of a vulnerable and frail human being.

I spent the weekend painting myself and occasionally the walls, ceiling and skirting, not fixing cabinets with the shitty little fixings they give you etc; My gift for DIY is similar to Van Gogh's ear for music!! Bad you may say? Depressed you may say? Well you may say this, but like the say in Springhill, Nova Scotia, worse was to come.

For I celebrated the dawn of a bright new day (and even brighter bathrooms) by stepping confidently onto the new hygienic plastic duckboard my present wife had procured and before you could say "Cresta Run" one foot slid forward the other gashed on the metal threshold of the shower and I sprained the arm which was holding the grab handle!

So all day I have been limping about the office doing a passable and heartfelt impersonation of Quasimodo. My colleagues have not commented which I put down to one of two possibilities;

1. I fit in better like this.
2. They don't care.

So the answer to your question is YES, put me in for the Jet-FM lottery and I'll fix up with you in warm Euros when we meet soon! However you can feel no sense of achievement taking advantage of a person whose ebb is so low. I am planning my retaliation and as soon as I find a lottery for the Buckinghamshire Dead Calf Rescue Centre you will be hearing from me!!

Yours in all probability,

DC
