POTTER brings Poetry & Prose back to our Pages


The New year means Percy Shelley takes a bow in the form of Ins n Outs so pin back your lug‘oles me old suckers....It’s a POEM!
 
Put the Vera’s Down and pay attention.
 
Keith LEMON muzzies and North Face onezies.
Hard case uncles and plastic face grannies,
Who go to town and talk about graft and blow off Dubliners now that is a fact.
Orange faced aunties standin’ around lookin’ down coked up noses of people on brown.
 
‘He was alright our Joey didn't rob from his own,
till he got lifted on a visit to Rome
with the league of welldoers from Scotland of Road, two-ed up wid a bag ‘ead from somewhere out east (ALBANIAN? the YEMEN?).
Or was it the priest who introduced bobby?
Or was it the beast who sat in the corner and grinned like a tool,
driving manically by his infant son’s school,
sayin’ “is rite lad is rite lad”
 
How many times can a repeat offender repeat his lines?
How long is a piece of string? Is the obvious answer!
Einstein, my friend, just wot is the answer then?
 
There goes the nephew driving too fast in,
not so sleepy, Dovecot reeekin’ of grass. ‘lad lad lad!
Yes the song remains the same:
me bird’s doin’ me head in. She needs to refrain
from Jeremy Kyle blags…
I’m not goin’ on, I have my credibility to think about.
 
Experimentation. I hope that's a word?
Some FLOYD ‘ead said (or was it a bird?
‘Twas a long time ago in the dole in town,
a steamin’ metropolis - white meetin’ brown,
on the dole in LIVERPOOL town,
Were north met south and queued in a line for our coins off Thatcher.
Make sure you’re on time, cos they’d have you
spluttering and blamin’ your ma,
or your da, or the broken down car.
 
Renshaw Hall, the place it was called, biggest in Europe. Fuckin massive! One weird place. Bizzies sittin’ off, ex wives, ex pats, ALL WAITING WAITIN……………..
Then off to the bier keller if u got the holies of holies: THE EMERGENCY GIRO.
 
Renshaw Hall Blues.
(IT’S MORE OF A LAMENT. IT MAY HELP IF YOU SING IT,LIKE I GIVE A  FUCK)
((Sorry, I really am only messing… Here goes....))
 
 
I’ve got those Renshaw Hall blues, late again.
I got nothing to lose, yer soft cunt!
You have delayed giro.
Renshaw Hall BLUES...
Hey Mr Postman! Sometimes you forget
on your visits to Ladbrokes, the nice girl in the vets
(with whom you’re madly in love). The whole street knows
the affair around canines ‘Why don't u propose?’
See we’re not really arsed, you committed no crime,
Just please Mr Postman get my giro on time.

The End Book - Don't get ripped off theres still a limited amount left


The End Fanzine Book, released last November is now almost completely sold out and there will be no re run.

However, its been pointed out to me that there have been copies being sold on ebay from anywhere between £45 to £85 ..and when I last looked on Amazon there was a copy going for £65. ?
Therefore I think we need to point out that there are currently still some copies left at for the cover price of £20. ..there's a limited number still available in Liverpool's "Waterstones" (some of which are signed by Myself, Peter Hooton and Mick Potter)
and Sabotage times have approximately 100 left via the following link
http://www.sabotagetimes.com/football/were-you-a-big-fan-of-the-end/

So don't get ripped off. If you want the book you can still get it for the cover price.........for the moment.

Happy shopping

Potters Tales 862- Anti Fashionable Fashion


The mid to late 70,s was a time of flux .A muzzie didnt instantly signal a career in the penal or security industry. No, muzzie fevour swept across the pennines to infect even the more conservative parts of Mersyside... y,know Formby, Caldy, Garston etc. Worn with pride  muzzies went hand in glove with the classic slim line jumper loathed and loved with equal passion, step forward and take a bow The 3 star jumper.Ah, I remember it so well! Brown, (a sort of chocolate brown) tapered  at the waist normally atop a huge pair of birmo's (that friends is another story for another day ).Three yellow stars shining radiantly covering the whole of the chest a cool collar flapping in the wind, yellow piping running around the rims 
It even featured in a song!..the lost in time dittie sung to me by Phil Jones over a candle lit dinner. "Theres a Wolly over there. OVER THERE! and he,s wearing brown air-wear, BROWN AIR-WEAR .. with a three star jumper half way up his back,  ,he,s a fuckin Wolly back, WOOLLY BACK". As the "lyrics" suggest, the county of Yorkshire was a hot bed of the 3-star much lampooned by us Mersey snobs, although i'm sure many an older brother or tubby uncle wore his with pride.Tubbies and protruding stomachs again, if i may refer back to the line about the jumper being half way up his back.. this is a sublime comment on the general poor quality of the garment, tubbies weren,t as a rule arsed if lard was hanging out (I blame ignorant dinner ladies dishing out too much of the wrong grub) Did you, dear readers, know anyone who had a 3- star jumper? or better still the elusive brown air-wear? (which it has to be said even your most die hard Wool quickly tired of). I saw a 3-star on e-bay starting off at 2 ton! Jeepers!  Apparently they're the must have wool wear with the ultras from the Russian Federation. A chap I know having just returned from Leningrad /St. Petersburg told me of a young ruskie who was "very much liking the jumper with the three stars " and did he have one to sell? I predict a 3-star revival by next xmas.. Gaylon jumpers (what the fuck are they Mick?  End Ed) could be in with a shout too. Now everyone remembers Planet of the Apes Sunday night.....don,t they ? NEXT ISSUE LOIS JEANS, just why did they split all the time ?

Its nearly Christmas 2012 and you can still buy The END BOOK and see more  lns & Outs, mad letters, good poems, shite poems ..and fuckin millions of spelling mistakes and bad grammar, as the book reviewers (poncy southern, ex student types) keep pointing out.
There’s a limited amount of signed copies in Waterstones on Bold Street and in the Liverpool 1 Waterstones store... and of course you can still get it on line here.
