Eddie was a fly-tipper, he never hurt anybody
he just liked to dump his load, and earn some easy money
His mam and dad ran a puppy farm, they said it was his to inherit
Instead he chose a tipper truck, and a life of independence
Local property developers, they flocked to use his skip hire
With its plausible deniability, and avoidance of unsightly bonfires
He spent his days in National Parks, in lay-bys, beauty spots and farmland
Blocking country roads wth crap, and desecrating ancient woodland
His kids were keen environmentalists, sorting cans and bottles and cardboard
He said he’d take it to be recycled, but slung it all in a graveyard
It was then the fateful day arrived – one of his so-called colleagues
Dumped a ton of asbestos waste in the middle of his kids’ school field
Eddie took to social media, though he didn’t want any trouble
But when he got home from graft that night, his driveway was full of rubble
Eddie had a heart attack, they buried him shortly afterwards
By the next morning, his grave was covered with binbags, toilet bowls and mattresses...

wasp joke
01:35

|
A bloke walks into a pet shop, and asks the lass if they sell wasps. When she says "no", he replies "well, you've got two in the window". The wasps fly up in a rage and sting him quite severely. He ends up in an ambulance with a case of anaphylaxis. I suppose the moral is, be careful what you ask for.

Is it worth the walk to Warkworth? Ambling on towards Embleton. Settle for less in Morpeth, try to start again in Newbiggin. Hang your washing out in Pegswood, start a fire in Ashington, then sleep like a baby in Bedlington, what’s the colour of your coats?
Jump off a cliff in Lemington, face your despair in Westerhope, light a candle in Whickham, take a left turn into Ryton. Make a pan of soup in Stocksfield, carve a hexagram in Hexham. Halt and whistle in Haydon Bridge, what’s the colour of your coats?
Take a seat in Seaton Delaval, bury your treasure in Burradon, resole your boots in Seghill, sleep in a tent in Camperdown. straighten your head out in Benton, ask yourself “why?” in Howdon, then make peace with it in Battle Hill, what’s the colour of your coats?
Black as the middens at low tide, white as the waves at Whitley Bay, blue as the house on Blue House Roundabout, that’s the colour of your coats.
