Itrs Monday, what the fuck, stay in bed, donrt have to get up. Ncithing to get up for, nothing to do, for Irm one of three rnillion still in the queue. At first it was alright, I had some laughs, for we dll uSea to play footy, or go to the baths. But now most have jobs or have gone back to school But lfm still- on the dole, gueqs whor.s the fool. So after a year it does you in, I used to be happy. But. now Irve turned to gin. I used to think I was steady, always be ready, but now Irm a bit slow, sometimes wontt go. I wbs on a scheme that r^ras a laugh They said I was a good Lad theyrd keep me on, then it came to an end, six months had gone. I used to like the bloke, we used !o laugh and jokg tr{e got along well everything was fine But then it came to an end, Ird had my time. But he said he knew someone who wanted a l-ad The pay wasntt that good, but it wasntt that bad. He- said as a favour'hefd put' in a good word I'waited two weeks but j.rst. tt.rrer heard. So I went to the job centre to speak to them But the bloke never l-istened he just played with his pen, Then I stopped talking it was his turn to speak He didnrt know wttat to say the conversation was weak He said there ras no jobs to offerl only some schemes But he said it would get better, r"lt tiratrs whattii-"..*" so that was it r turned them down, r wasnr t being exploited being somebodyr s cl-own. So I was on the dole, back claiming sup again And after a year it becomes a pain I donrt know about the future, I dontt know wtrat to do. But r know it will crack me up if r remain on tn" aoi.-queue.

IN

BROMLEY

Deep in the dirty dingy decomposing dogshit dripping dungebn of a graffiti graced Southern Region train compartment stuffed full of bad breath breathing halibut eyed computer cormuters with boring suits and boring habits the state of.play is giving cause for concern. The middl"e aged middle class middle management middle everything puke suited slack jawed suet pudding faced Powel1 worshipping I,rlil1ie !'Ihitelaw clone by the window is slumped rigidly over his Daily Telegraph in a posture indicating-his sudden demise, This itlirrms the prim po faced clean tablecloth every night sex in the dark once a week Daily Mail female secretary by his side who asks him politely if.he rc'cently died. Receiving no reply she turns to the taid assed Tiurls reading Tory voting pinstriped wimp sitting opposite and demands an opinion. In company with the three Paul Eddington clones also occupying the compartmenL he lowers his eyes and stares fixedly at his newspaper in the time honoured f.ashion of the don't pinch my seat donrt i.nvade my world ltm all right Jack leave me alone English suburban cortrnuter husbands club. She turns to me and confidently I tell her that most coumuters are dead itts their natural state and anyway dead executives couldntt possibly be any less interesting than-1ive ones although possibly t-hey might smell a bit more and thatfs why they always get aftershave for Christmas and an)rway frm never going to Bromley again unless r become an undertaker or join the sDP which is roughly thesame thing.
