Two Legs In One Hole

I didn't sleep well last night. A huge badger spent an age mooching around the animal feed bins during the wee small hours and as our bedroom window was open on one of the hottest evenings of the year, we could hear every bang,clatter and grunt as he manfully tried to remove the metal bin lids from their containers.
Finally I couldn't bear it any longer, so I grabbed a pair of shorts and t shirt and staggered off down stairs to see the intruder off.
I got dressed in the kitchen and hurried out onto the lane where I realised that I had somehow jammed  two legs in just one leg of my shorts.
Now, this has never happened to me before.
but I learnt very quickly that it is incredibly difficult ( but not impossible) to walk quickly and effectively in a straight line when you can't " spread your legs properly" so to speak.
It was 1 am in the morning, so I couldn't  be arsed re dressing myself properly, so I minced down the lane in a series of " baby-doll" steps to chase away a fat arsed badger with a taste for poultry corn.
Then minced all the way back to bed.
Thank goodness no one was around.
I looked like the worst drag queen on God's Earth

  3. At 1.00 am I was awake hugging a bottle of iced water having just been told I was snoring. No sleep till 4.00 thanks to flush inducing irritation having been woken from a deep sleep. I retaliated with much hayfevery nose honking and wafty fanning of a magazine.

    I feel someone should try and do cartoons of your antics - I may try when I have the time.

  10. My favourite weight loss pictures are ones where a person gets into one leg of a pair of trousers from their fatter days. Does two legs in one short hole mean Weightwatchers is working??

  17. Nowhere in the whole world does anyone have the adventures that you have John (or if they do then they don't come into blogland) - I laugh at your capers almost every day.

  30. Even if any Trewlawnydians had been around they wouldn't have batted an eyelid. They are used to "The mad earl who lives up by the church and fills his dustbin with scotch egg wrappers!" Nothing would surprise them.

  36. This is what comes of trying to put shorts on over your head. One should only dress when fully awake.

  41. You may scoff at Christopher Biggins, John, but he DID appear in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    Actually, I was thinking more Gerard Depardieu. So the whole story would have to be moved to Provence. ;-)
