Have you always been a mad girl Josie  Ewe should know Sephine  Come again  Cora are you finished in the bathroom  Five minutes I am still in afterglow street  Do stop at the lights and look out for cyclists  You have not answered my question  What question  Have you always been a mad girl  No I […]

I am a hunter of the hyenas  Who live in the filthy sewers  Of my home city Some say I am a  Big Game Hunter But I am nothing of the sort  As I am committed to  Exterminating the imported vermin  That cause so much sorrow  To my friends and neighbours  I kill nothing else 

I had chosen a wet misty night  To film the brutal stfreight trains  As they passed through my local station  The actual filming took me just over an hour  As I was getting ready to leave  A woman slipped on a nearby ramp  I helped her to her feet as she was a little dazed She […]
