Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 30th August 2014
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1.
After 35 years since her last appearance, Katy “Piglet”
Bush made her long-anticipated entrance on to the stage in the back bar of The
Wounded Ferret to an ecstatic audience of nearly seven people. Tickets for the little-sought-after gig were
snapped up in under seventeen weeks. One
fan, who wished not to be named, had made an emotional journey all the way from
Potterne to see the singer. When
questioned closely he admitted that he had not wanted to come at all, but his
dad had asked him to turn up to find out if this was the same girl with whom he
had once had a knee-trembler with round the back of the barn many years ago.
2.
Following the national celebrity trend sweeping
the country, Benny Dogleash, irascible manager of Bromham Casuals, yesterday
reluctantly accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Unfortunately, no-one had told the players, led by inconsistent striker
Dwayne Mooney, that the ice cubes needed to be taken out of their plastic
packets first. Mr Dogleash suffered
multiple abrasions and bruising to his head and, whilst still unconscious, was
rushed to Bromham General Hospital’s A&E Unit, where he was forced to wait
for several hours to see a doctor. The waiting
area had been packed with several people who had badly injured themselves
whilst trying to commit suicide following bouts of depression, after learning
that in the past six months, no-one had nominated them for the Ice Bucket
Challenge.
