Woolworth's Demise

Oh dear, a very angry poem, but one I nevertheless quite liked! reminds me of the one in Leith…

Woolworth’s Demise

No more plastic no more noise

Lament the end of big store close

Where cheap teenagers lost their teeth

to one more glor’ious pick’n’mix thief

(Who learns the trade – for future junkie chic)

Pink tellies filling scum kids’ rooms

Hoodie-rotting cheap perfume

make up plastered on twelve year old graces

Attracts abortion from cratered faces

Smell of goat and unwashed boy

gang shapes and swear-words ahoy

Air of parents smell of gin

Oh what a shape Woolworths was in!

Filling estates with patchwork glee

‘Gorgeous bathrooms at 99p!’

Land-fill destined piles of crap

Fat old men giving kids ‘a slap’

Shouting girls in single vowels

Old women with weakened bowels

Ladybird clothes a saving grace

For parents with alcoholic face

Two years on from twelve-year old pride

(her husband might have well have died)

a child of a child raised ‘the woollies way’

(screaming miserable life away)

Piles cheapened sweeties on her plate

(strawberry sweeties clog up guts)

while Mother welcomes old-school sluts

No warm fuzzies nor cold pricks

Just smell of sugar on cracked-up lips

heart-raced buzz of cheap glucose

mother shouting, wanting booze

pushchair gathr’d round chain store bench

smokes away that schoolgirl stench

Empty carcass of England’s pride

Quickens the empty high-street slide

away from poverty and the scum

(Sky will keep them from the sun)

And teenager dating with made-up pride?

Save up for Starbuck’s? – Now you’ve died!

We don’t want to see you anymore

now interest rates have hit the floor..

We’ll give you more if you give back

Off your knees and on your back!

No more sweeties equals food

No more ‘plastic equals good!’

No more tellies made like toys

No more action men for psychotic boys

No more barbies – ‘we’re ‘aspiring’ girls!

no more make up or pretty curls’

No more cheap spoons or handy tool-kits,

Paradise as economic units.

What (extra) skills would you like to have when you leave Uni?

I've noticed that degrees are supposed to leave people ill–equipped for 'the outside world' and I wondered why this was the case..

and if so, what skills would be nice to have .. I would love to be taught how to set up internet sites with paypal accounts for example, but there must be more of these.. how about 'how to dress for work' or 'how to not end up making coffee'..

Any suggestions?

0709 BIG mobile phone scum scam, Fast Hang–up Scam Mobiles

Writing about web page http://www.fpb.org/YYTWHos.html

Just thought I’d highlight to all the recent 0709 prefix mobile scam (and i suppose any quick hang-up scam).

There is an automatic dial that cuts off as soon as the phone rings (or is answered). If you call the number back, it costs you min £1.50 per minute.. sometimes up to £50 per minute.

Don’t do it!
