Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 4th August 2024
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Fanned by a clearly orchestrated campaign of misinformation, there has been civil unrest on the streets of D-Town over the past few nights. News spread on Tuesday night across social media platforms that someone from outside the borough, and a non-Moonraker at that, had been seen trying to buy supplies of Salt & Vinegar Pringles from more than one high street convenience stores. In fact, the police were keen to point out, the man was born on the borders of The Vize, within clear sight of the 273 bus route.
2. Announcing his retirement from competing in professional international tournaments, Ivor Biggun, sometime left back (in the dressing room usually) for D-Town Academicals, the world of sport was left mourning the loss of a real sporting character. The Chairman of the Town Council, in a moving, and sometimes tearful, tribute to Biggun’s career and character, said that he only wished that several of the man’s team-mates might think about doing the same. “If Adele can step back from her music for an extended period, we can only hope that Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and Dua Lipa might think about doing the same, and giving us all the break that we richly deserve.”
