Things change

“Five for a euro de wrappin’ paypor”, he bellowed on the street.

I preferred when it was ‘five for fifty’. It just had a nicer ring to it. Inflation is a cunt.

    True story.

    “Five for fiiiiiiftee”.

    “Six for siiiiiixty”.

    “Seven for a pound”.

  3. Inflation can be a bit of a can’t, but for someone who wants to sell lots of books and be all capitalistic-like you should be happy as Larry about higher prices.

    So where is the book, Twenty?

  4. JackMcMad says:

    Why can’t he just sell 3 for fifty? Take a hit on the third sheet. It’d sound grand then.

    Twenty,

    Are you going to do a book signing? With a balaclava and shades on; like the fascist ira used to? “Vote for Sinn Fein…or I’ll break your legs. No, you can’t “not” vote for anyone. Aye, this is democracy for the poor and the stupid”

    Anyhow; I digress; seriously – are doing a book signing? Do it lillies; I’ll sort the coke and grass.
