Johnny’s dead!

A truly sad truth  - Patrick Swayze is dead. 

 

I don’t claim to be a massive fan of Patrick’s other work, and I’m certainly not a friend or member of his family, to whom I certainly send condolences.

However, it is a sad truth for me – and many others I’m sure – because it  means Johnny is dead. 

I can remember the first time I saw Dirty Dancing – I must have been about 10 as we were still living in Cambridge. I had it on video  - no idea how I came to have the video. Maybe it was rented? I don’t even know how I’d heard of the film all those years ago. I do know that I watched and rewound it so many times in the course of a few days that I broke the tape. 

It was like magic. I couldn’t get enough. I wanted to dance! I wanted to learn that! 

Of course I didn’t, not for many years. I do dance now. My Dad introduced me to Ceroc about 10 years ago, and I even ‘taught’ beginners review for a few years. Still, I have to confess that I have always wanted to learn ‘that dance’ when I’m jiving. Maybe one day? But for now, I think I’ll allow my self to dig out the DVD and remember Patrick in his prime.

And there it is. The sad truth. Johnny is dead.

He’ll be teaching those angels a move or two, I’m sure.

First Truth – “Simply Be are a pain in the arse”

I was just sitting here, wondering which truth I should share with you first when the phone rang, giving me immediate inspiration. So, here it is – the First Truth According To Jo:

Simply Be are a pain in the arse.

There. I said it. And why did i say it? What would lead me to such a conclusion? I’ll tell you.

Truth: My name is not Kirsty Cummings

Truth: No one by that name lives at my house

Truth: I have told Simply Be this

Truth: They still insist on calling my house on a daily basis with an automated message asking for Kirsty Cummings.

Now, I am starting to think that this is actually a scam and that they are somehow getting money out of me each time I answer the phone to them – my next phone bill will reveal the Truth of that.

In the mean time, I am having to ignore all incoming calls and use my voicemail to screen, in order to avoid answering the phone to these

a) incompetent or 

b) thieving 

idiots.

So, here are  a couple of questions for you:

1) Are you Kirsty Cummings?

2) Have you had a similar problem to this?

Get in touch if you’ve also been stalked by Simply Be or any other automated phone messages!
