EP1 -  Addiction = Transcript

Italian Blend No. 4

It’s not the first pot, but the second 

that coils you up into upright positions 

that turns the key in your conscious prison. You’re here now,

in the instant. No drifting for you. No dreaming,

instead moments where you simply… stop existing.

Like the plug was pulled, for a few seconds and you comeback

systems stuttering reeling from

being turned off and on again hands constricting

muscles contracting eyes wide open

with synapses firing.

So here you are 

Present

Awake

under duress. Sleepless

and dreamless

Because if you submit yourself to such My, you must

have some damn good reasons.

To subject yourself to such a lesion. Why the insistent forgoing of rest? Rest. dearheart. 

“Do you smoke?”

“Well do you?”

Do I smoke?

Do I smoke?

Yes bitch

I fuckin’ smoke.

Smoke what?

Where do I begin?

There’s been marlins and Harlems and Cowboys.

There’s been Henson and Bedges and Mayfairs.

There’s been astral cheese,

Purple haze,

And so much Stardawg that I still taste diesel. 

In my lungs and on my lobes.

What else you got? I’ll smoke it all.

Heroin? Not until I’m 60

Crack? Not until I’m 65. 

Cocaine? At some point, when I’m richer.

I’m down for the best tastes in the world. 

But I’d rather be on the brink of life.

What else?

I’ll smoke that peace pipe.

I’ll inhale the gun smoke

On a smoking gun.

In the detective’s hand

While he’s trying 

To investigate it.

I smoked with Minnie,

Poor Min, 

And her bloke named Smokey.

As it pours down with rain 

(Huddle Up)

We look to the sky!

(Cuddle up)

Round a fire pit

Where we launch off fireworks.

Watch as the smoke drifted west through the skies.

Poor min, 

I still see her now and then

Picking up fag ends in Dunstable High Street.

That’s a long ass street to be picking up on.

There’s two sets of lights two miles apart and

You best hope you chose the right one.

His hokey ass joints 

Taste of fumes and smog,

Taste of kippers and paprika

Prevented only by me

Says smokey to me

His form turned into

A giant bear.

It’s a trick

An illusion.

Do I inhale the smoke from the stack?

Do I encounter the mirror that made the trick work?

As flames as far as Hemel Hempstead go up

In my business all I’m remembers the smoke

“You smoke?”

Yes I smoke, 

For the burn,

That primal energy

That steals the oxygen from my lungs

Gives me heat and tar

And the slightest

Ever so slight

Satisfaction.

'Cigarette Packets'

She was never any good for me in fact she was toxic with her Laughing and her coughing reminding me with each kiss that only she could make me happy slowly poisoning me I left some packets empty Stewm around the flat like discarded garments to gather in a box to give back and every time i pick one up i remember her smell Her taste and think "Damn, she was a good kisser. "

Darts instead of Change

Toasty Tobacco And tasty tar

Slug through my lungs at glacial speeds.

But now, dear friend We have to part

On advice of doctors friends and family.

No more, while waiting for a bus will a roll and a spark

summon metal beasts to their stop.

No longer when passing homeless men, can I offer darts instead of change,

Warming the cheeks on winters days.

You were a friend through thick and thin 

A shared revolver withmy peers

Kept the bullet chamber spinning

kept me moving for years and years—

  Rather than fester 

  Bedridden Sleeping 

  through

  My loves and fears…

And now you’re gone So, what is left?

What has taken your sacred place?

An Extra Thirty Quid a week and a stupid flavoured vape.

Mischief at the Country Tavern

by Fiona Broome

Ghost hunters joke that every historic restaurant and inn in New England is haunted, and they may be right. I can vouch for the existence of a ghost at the Country Tavern in Nashua, New Hampshire. Blond, mischievous Elizabeth Ford is a beloved spirit who haunts the Country Tavern restaurant. They've even named a gourmet diner after her: Chicken Elizabeth.

According to local legend, Elizabeth and her husband moved to colonial Nashua-then called Dunstable-in the mid-eighteen century. Because of its poor soil, unreliable transportation, and continuing hostilities with Indian tribes from Canada, New Hampshire remained decidedly rural.

Nevertheless, Elizabeth and her husband, a ship captain, were delighted with their new farmhouse. That it was near a well-traveled coach route not only provided peace of mind for the Fords but also meant that Elizabeth would feel less isolated when her husband was at sea.

The newlyweds were happy during the early years of marriage, in spite of Captain Ford's reputation for a volatile temper and fits of jealously. Elizabeth's sweet and playful nature usually prevented serious arguments, and for that her husband was grateful.

Their lives seemed idyllic until Captain Ford returned home after nine months at sea and found his wife pregnant. When the baby arrived a couple of weeks later, Ford was convinced that his wife had been unfaithful. In a fit of jealous rage, he killed both Elizabeth and the baby.

In one version of the story, he buried their bodies in the yard just outside the farmhouse. Over their graves he planted a tree-possibly to conceal them-and it remains just outside of what is now the Country Tavern. Others say that he dumped the bodies in a wall on the property or that the graves lie beneath the house itself. But it seems that no matter where they're burial, Elizabeth never left.

One Happy Ghost

According to local lore, Captain Ford hastily signed on with the next ship out of Portsmouth and soon was killed during an argument over a card game. No one mourned his loss.

Elizabeth's ghost began appearing soon afterward. Sometimes, she was spotted in the yard. More often, people saw her gazing out a window.

The farmhouse had many owners over the years before it became the Country Tavern restaurant. Since then-1985 to be exact-the buildings has been lovingly restored and the grounds artistically landscaped, a transformation that has delighted Elizabeth Ford.

I have actually seen the young Mrs. Ford. She's about five foot five and very slender, weighing about a hundred pounds. When I last saw her, she was wearing a deep red colonial gown. Her pale blonde hair was worn unfashionably loose, spilling over her shoulders and down her back. She was also translucent. Many restaurant patrons, however, say that Elizabeth can look as real and solid as anyone else-among living, that is.

Elizabeth skips and dances barefoot around the upstairs dining area. Her pranks including rotating patrons' dishes while they're dining and sending cups and saucers flying across the room. At the same time, Elizabeth is careful never to hurt anyone; she's mrely being playful.

Downstairs, Elizabeth visits the ladies room and sometimes tugs on the hair of visiting patrons. The ladies lounge was once part of the nursery, near the center of the farmhouse. It was also where Elizabeth felt safest, waiting for her husband to come home.

Interestingly, there has never been any evidence that Elizabeth's newborn is with her in the spirit world, and people often wonder where the child is. The consensus is that the baby probably crossed over.

Elizabeth's ghost certainly hasn't crossed. In fact, the young woman doesn't seem to realize that she's dead. In her own mind, she's still living in the time before her pregnancy, when she was happily married. That's why she's often seen upstairs, watching out the window for her husband's return form the sea.

Some people have seen Elizabeth looking sadly out the window toward the tree in the yard where she and the baby may have been buried. But these bouts of melancholy are brief, and soon Mrs. Ford's mood again becomes light and playful. In general, Elizabeth Ford is one very happy ghost.

Flickering Lights

When I first encountered Elizabeth, I was upstairs in the restaurant, showing some "ghost photos" to a TV show host. We were preparing to film a segment about the Country Tavern.

A shadowy seemed to pass over my photo album, as if someone had just walked by. I looked up and saw Elizabeth standing on tiptoes gazing over my right shoulder. She was looking down at my photos, seemingly fascinated by them.

I didn't want to startled the crew, so I kept quiet about Mrs. Ford's presence. However, just a few minutes later, she announced herself in her typically mischievous fashion. The cameras were filming as the TV host and I walked around the restaurant's upstairs dining area. I could see Elizabeth watching us from behind one of the crew, when she suddenly vanished. Then, as we began to discuss Elizabeth during the show, the lights on the wall flickered-and each time we mentioned her name or referred to her, they flickered again.

Finally, the host asked anxiously, "That's just loose wiring, right?"

"We'd better find out," I replied. "If it is, the restaurant needs to know before a short circuit starts a fire."

I looked around for someone from the Country Tavern staff, but they were all downstairs. It was up to us to solve the mystery of the blinking lights.

Even when I think that something may be evidence of a haunting, I look for logical explanations. So I climbed up on a bench by the wall and thumped my hand near one of the fixtures to see if I could make the lights flicker again.

Nothing happened.

I repeated my efforts, this time pounding the wall with my fist.

Still nothing.

More pounding just inches from the light fixture-and still no flickering.

"Let me try," the host suggested, fathering her courage. She tapped the wall very lightly and-amid some nervous laughter-asked if Elizabeth was there. The lights blinked on and off as if cue. The TV host turned pale under her make up.

For the next several minutes, I pounded the walls trying to duplicate what had happened. No matter what I did, the lights wouldn't flicker.

"Elizabeth is just teasing you," I joked. And, with that, the lights turned quickly off and on again.

Only the wall had blinked off and on; the other restaurant lights remained constant. The power hadn't failed, even for a second. And the only light switches in the room were those in plain view. No one from the restaurant staff had left the kitchen either.

In other words, there was no rational explanation for the flickering lights. I laughed because I was used to ghosts, but the TV host and crew weren't quite as amused.

"See You Later, Elizabeth"

We briskly completed the TV segment, and the crew packed their equipment. As we headed toward the stairs, I glanced back over my shoulder and said quietly, "See you later, Elizabeth."

The lights flickered again, and I thought I heard a high, girlish laugh not far from my ear. I certainly felt a gentle swish of air, as if someone in a long gown had just adashed past me.

From what I've heard Elizabeth Ford is still a regular visitor at the Country Tavern. The restaurant is best known for its fabulous meals and fresh seafood dinners. But it's also famous as the home of one of the sweetest ghosts in New England.

Watch for Elizabeth Ford next time you're in Nashua, enjoying the food at the Country Tavern. Just don't be surprised if an empty cup gracefully across the room, or the lights flicker when you mention her name.

The Dunstable Hitchhiker

In October 1979, Roy Fulton left his local pub and accidentally wandered into a horror story. Driving home that night, he allegedly stopped to give a lift to a random hitchhiker, somewhere on the cold and lonely roads outside Dunstable.

The guy got into his car without a word and the two sped off into the night. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, Fulton awkwardly tried to make small talk. When that failed, he lit a cigarette and turned around to offer his passenger one. The guy was gone.

At no point had Fulton slowed down. At no point had the hitchhiker had any chance to leap from the vehicle. And yet there was no one there. Fulton’s story may match many other tales of ghostly hitchhikers, but it was so convincing that the national papers covered it. In the years since, the story has resurfaced across the UK in various forms, but never in such a simple and chilling way as the Dunstable tale.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to the working week although, for those of you working in the NHS, welcome to just another day.

As many of you saw on Friday night, The Mighty Josiah arrived late, as he’d been to his own Laser Tag birthday party and received the kind of birthday presents a nine-year-old loves: roller skates, mini football net, football cards, Lego, toy guns and bullets etc. People often ask me why I call him The Mighty Josiah. The reason: he was born very premature and he was in the ICU in Dunstable for a while, but he’s a fighter and the staff in there were brilliant, so Josiah emerged a very healthy (and mighty) toddler. On Saturday, he went roller skating and, on Sunday, I took him to the park, so he had a good birthday weekend!

Many thanks to everyone that listened to the radio show on Saturday, and those that will listen to it on Mixcloud. It’s a cracker! ‘The A-Z Of Hip Hop Breaks’, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip hop, suggested by my brother, Ec Forde. Great idea, mate! I hope I did it justice? Back to The Letter P (Part Four) next Saturday.

Straight after the show, we were down the A20, around the M25 and up the A23 to a little town in Surrey called Merstham to see our lovely friend Tash Tillyard, who I call ‘Dolly’, probably because she calls me ‘Dolly’. Dolly was a listener to my radio show on Colourful Radio. She came to have a drink with me at a bar in Vauxhall back in 2008 and we’ve been mates ever since. Back in the day, her dad actually lived on the road we now live on and Dolly was brought up in Brent, so we consider her an honorary Brent resident, although she likes to reside in Surrey. We enjoyed a very civilised dinner at a lovely local restaurant. Note my use of the word ‘civilised’. We are mature, experienced professionals with responsible jobs, thus we have x-ray vision and we can see through people and situations.

It was the start of the football season on Friday night. This is Heaven for footie fans and an absolute living Hell for non-footie fans! Oh, yes, I know there are lots of people that don’t give a toss about football so, I apologise in advance; get used to male, peri-menopausal mood swings! If our team loses over the weekend, we’re a painful nightmare to be around, until mid-week, when we start feeling optimistic again! I shan’t bore you with the transfer drama I’ve had to endure!

For my sanity, I try to avoid Twitter but, unfortunately, everyone has their ‘crack’ and that is mine. I’m addicted to it. Every day, it confirms what everyone has always known. The United States Of America are not! America is 50 different countries in one. Each with their own laws, their own customs and their own codes of etiquette. The NAACP has advised black people to take precautions when travelling to Florida. I’ve been to Orlando twice with my family but, in recent years, it’s changed drastically. Wisconsin ranks as the worst state in the country for black Americans. I’d love to do a cross country drive one day but it’s probably not that wise!

My Facebook page will run as normal this week: Too Much Information Tuesday, Wednesday Words and Throwback Thursday for memories triggered by a different word each week. Hope you can all get involved? Strangers are actually making friends on my page!

Hope your week goes well? I shall be saying my atheist prayers for you. Have a marvellous and momentous Monday. I love you all.

Proper Cleaning Techniques for a Soiled Wedding Dress

It's a very personal process, from dreaming of their dream wedding to picturing their prince charming and the perfect gown. However, selecting the proper dress may be a difficult and costly task. After devoting significant effort to the hunt and wearing it once, saving it for future generations seems only appropriate.

Preserving your bridal gown requires thorough care and attention, which A&Z Dry Cleaners excels at. Our Professional Wedding Dress Cleaning Milton Keynes service guarantees that your prized clothing remains in perfect condition for years to come, ready to be passed down to your daughter or granddaughter when the time comes.

Spot cleaning can be done with mild liquid detergent, specialized stain removers, or even common household objects. However, for thorough and safe cleaning, dry cleaning or gentle hand washing are advised.

You have the choice of entrusting your gown to professional Laundry Hitchin such as A&Z Dry Cleaner, or if time is an issue, you may clean it at home. Here's a simple technique to efficiently wash a dirty wedding dress.

Evolution of the White Wedding Dress

Historically, weddings were frequently arranged between families, and wedding apparel was chosen to show the honor and position of the bride's family. Despite its symbolic significance at that time, wedding dresses were not necessarily white. However, the introduction of the white wedding, the color white poses issues in terms of long-term preservation.

Protecting Your Wedding Dress with Professional Laundry Luton

It is not ideal to hang your wedding dress in your wardrobe among your normal clothing. The weight of the garment can deform its shape over time, and keeping it exposed might cause harm from external factors such as dampness or contact with other textiles.

Consider purchasing a waterproof box or chest to preserve your garment, particularly if you can afford it. A clothing bag can also give protection, although it may not be as effective. When keeping your garment, wrap it carefully in a colourless, pre-washed cloth to avoid colour transfer. Avoid using colourful printed fabric or paper since the dye may transfer to the garment, causing permanent harm. Taking these steps will assist to maintain the beauty and integrity.
