ELLA'S HAME AGAIN.

Hello Rerr! Wee Boaby here again! Well if you Read my column last Issue, You would know that the Auld Trouble and Strife (Ella) Wiz away for a while, nursing her sister in Dumbarton! Well right pleased I wiz tae see Hur! So A Wiz, I met hur aff the Bus! And we walked the wee bit doon the road to the hoose!

"You jist get Yer coat and Wellies Aff, Hen" I says ta hur, "I'll pit the Kettle oan!" Well a few minutes later she comes in behind me.

"AH FER CHRIST SAKE BOABY! HUV YE NAE DUN THE DISHES"

She yells!

"Now Hud oan Ella! A cannae dae everything, Bluddy Hell a fed the fish inat! Whit mare dae ye want?"

Now oor Ella's a hellova Temper on hur! And with oot more ado, She picks up the frying pan, And wallops me right across the Coupen wee it!(WHACK!) Several seconds later, I climb's tae ma feet, Ma face resembling a bag of burst Plums.

"OCH! ITS NICE TAE HAE YE HAME LOVE"

Says I,"I'll jist pop doon tae the Health centre, And get the Nurse Tae stitch up ma face! I'll see ye in a while!"

So I pops inta the Local Health Centre, And the Nurse BIG JEANIE Says,
" Hello Boaby! I See Ella's hame!"

"Aye she's jist in Jeanie!"

"Och! She musta missed ye Boaby! Ye'll no need many stitches this time!"

Well 30 minutes later oot I come, Brand New! and as I walked up the Street, I thought tae masel, Ach I'll jist hae a couple oh Pints! So! I pops into ma local the "PISTON BROKE" A quaint little PUB jist accross the road from the garage!

ACH WELL! Yea ken how it goes, One pint leads tae another! Eventually after 6 pints, The bladder is Stretched tae the limit!

Now I'll tell you this! If you ever drink in the PISTON BROKE, You don't EVER leave an unfinished drink at the bar, Cause when yea get back, Some Bastard's off we it! So with the aid of an old Beer Mat and a felt pen! I wrote a wee Message o warning and left it leaning up against ma glass.

So there I was, Having a quick "Jimmy Riddle" When The Door BURSTS open, And in runs the BIGGEST DARKIE I've ever seen! At full flight he downs his Zip and makes a dive for the urinal next tae me!

"Well you want tae huv seen the SIZE o this Dongle!

JEEZ OH! It wiz massive!"

"GOAD! A JIST MADE IT!" He says!

"KIN YEA MAKE ONE FUR ME?"

I replied, But the Bugger jist laughed! So I thought tae masel, Am oot o here afore he starts tae shake this thing, Or I'll end up we whiplash or something!

So I returns tae the bar, and whit did I find on the Beer mat on which I hud Printed.

A HUV SPAT IN THIS PINT

Someboady hud written underneath

SO HUV I!

Well I kin tell yea! It dammed near pit me Aff! But A Thought " Well it jist like huving a French Kiss" Being fully refreshed! It wiz time to head hame! As I walked in the Door, Ella Says

"BOABY! Ma Mither is staying we us fur a wee while!"

"NO BLUDDY CHANCE! OVER MA DEID BOADY!
THAT WUMAN IS NO GETTING OVER THE DOOR!"

Well you have tae understand! 5 years ago she was Diagnosed as having Alzheimer Disease, And hid tae go tae a Clinic twice a week for the rest o hur days The only problem wiz! She forgot the Bluddy Address!

"AM NO HUVING IT ELLA!"

"YER TO LATE BOABY! SHE'S ALREADY HERE!"

"OH CHRIST ELLA, SHE'S AS DEEF AS A POST"

"BE FAIR BOABY, SHE CAN LIP READ, ITS JIST THAT SHE
CANNAE UNERSTAUN YOU! CAUSE YEA HUVNA ANY TEETH!"

Well at that the auld bint walks in tae the room!

"LO BOABY! HOWS IT GAUN?"

Well tae cut a long story short, We hud were dinner and sat doon tae watch the Telly!

"BOABY!" Says the auld Yin, "Could yea Go up tae the BATH an get a wee shovel o coal fur the fire, Ma Legs are afful cauld!"

I couldn't believe it! I was stunned!

WHIT?........ "WHIT ARE YE TALKING ABOOT! WE DINNA KEEP COAL
IN THE BLUDDY BATH! WELL NO SINCE WE GOT THE TROPICAL
FISH ANYWAY!"

She looks at me that blank way, And then says

"WEEL IF YER GOING FUR A PISH, YE KIN GET THE COAL AT THE SAME TIME!"

Ma Temper wiz gettin up A kin tell yea!

" AM NO GOING FUR A PISH! A SAID FISH! AND ANYWAY,
YE SILLY AULD TOAD,WE'VE HUD A COAL EFFECT FIRE
FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS! HUV YE GOT THAT YE AULD TWIT?

Another blank look! And she says tae me.
"WELL IF YER GOING FUR A SHIT, KIN YEA GET THE COAL FIRST?"

That was it! I hud enough! "AM AFF TAE MA BED, GOOD NIGHT!" and off I went.

About seven the next morning, I awoke and noticed a strange smell in the air! Now it wiznae Ella, She only Farts when she's been eating Cabbage! So I Jumped oot o bed and quickly Slips Ella's PINK, FLORAL DRESSING GOWN, over the top o ma Pyjama's Retrieved ma Bonnet from the bedpost and started off down the stairs.

As I reached the living room door, I couldn't help notice the thick black smoke! And there wiz Ella's Mither lying on the floor! Trying tae light the Ornamental coals on the gas fire!

"OH FUR CHRIST SAKE! ELLA! QUICK GET UP, YER BLUDDY
MITHER HIZ SET FIRE TAE THE HOOSE!"

Having alerted the wife! I ran into the living room grabbed the Auld Bint by the Ankles and ran HELL for Leather, Along the hall, oot the front door, along the landing, Doon two flights o stairs and oot on tae the Street!

Now Am no an Emotional Man! But there wiz something Comforting aboot the sound of that SILLY AULD CRONES HEID Stottin aft the Concrete steps!

Well as luck would have it, One of the neighbours hud noticed the smoke and alerted the Fire Brigade, So they Arrived in Minutes!

Three o them jumped oot o the engine, Axes drawn, Hose in hand and ran up the stair tae ma bonny hoose! I Accompanied the Fire chief up the stair, And LOW and BEHOLD ther wiz one o his boys, Whacking the shit oot o ma front door we his axe!............ Now I wouldna mind, But The BLUDDY THING WIZ OPEN!

"OH! FORGET HIM!" says the fire chief " HE's A GURKA
YOU KEN THEIR TYPE, ONCE THEY DRAW IT, THEY HAVE TAE USE IT!"

Well the other two came out an said "That's it oot"

and we arrived doonstair jist in time to see a medic bending over the MITHER IN LAW, tae gie hur resuscitation His mouth was jist approaching hers, When her knee came up sharply and gave him a hefty whack in the Knackers!

"KEEP YER BLUDDY HAN'S TAE YERSEL, YE YOUNG PERVERT YE!"

She yells! As the Medic rolls along the Pavement clutching his CROWN JEWLS in both hands!

"CHIRST ARE YE NAE SAFE IN THE STREETS O GLASGA ANYMAIR?
KIN YE NAE LIE OAN THE PAVEMENT WITHOOT GETTING GRAPED?"

She screams.

As Ella drags her Mither aff this poor man, She gets one mair Kick in! And the Poor bloke is loaded onto his Ain Stretcher and carted away!

The three of us return tae the Hoose, and survey the Damage!

A Charred lump o burnt Plastic lay in the Fire Hearth, The walls and Ceiling were Blackened wie the Smoke, And as we stood there a Sheet o Wallpaper flopped off the Wall and landed at oor feet in a Soggy Lump!

Then I looked to my left! At an empty space where the T.V. Used to be, And a big hole in the livingroom Windae!

"AH FUR CHRIST SAKE!......... NAY THE TELLY!"

I screams, But YES! The force o the water from the Firemens hose Hud ricocheted off the wall and blasted the T.V. oot o the Bluddy Windae! A quick glance oot oh the broken glass confirmed it! There wiz ma telly lying in a thousand bits, 2 floors doon in next door's Midden!

" HUV YE NO COMPLAINED TO THE COUNCIL, ABOOT THIS DAMP?"

Said the Mither in Law

"IT WOULDNAE BE ME, LIVING IN THESE CONDITIONS!" She says.

Then with oot a care in the world, She turns ta me and says

" KIN YE GET A WEE SHOVEL O COAL FUR THE FIRE? BOABY! MA LEGS ARE FREEZIN!"

"ELLA!!!!"
"AM GOANA BLUDDY MURDER HUR!!!"
" I'LL DAE TIME,ELLA, SO I WILL"
"I'LL SWING FUR THE AULD BITCH!!!"

Wee Boaby
