Makes me feel all texty

By Tony Alton

I went to Budgens to get the ingredients
to make a cornfed chicken breast wrapped in honey roast pancetta with sournut
berry jus yesterday when I saw a cavalcade of dancing girls and men blowing
trumpets walking past. There were sparkling
floats, golden showers (fireworks) and people juggling their balls and it
dawned on me that something outstanding must be happening. I was right when I saw the portly lead
drummer was carrying a press release in his gout-ridden fingers announcing that
Yahoo! Mail users can now send SMS through their account. Needless to say I floated home to my overpriced
cardboard box on a cloud of possibilities.

Whilst waiting for my compote to
reduce I read deeper into the press release and discovered that
I can only use it to send SMS to 4 territories, US (big angry country, lots of
money) Canada (English/French rucks, ice hockey) India (outsourcing, curry,
Ganges) and the Phillipines (erm billiards?). At this point I went outside and vented my anger by running amok naked
through the Yahoo! parade, setting fire to the lead drummer’s moustache.  ASBO Number 2.
