Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 29th May 2022

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 29th May 2022 

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:                                              

1.      The flags and bunting were out in force on Thursday as D-Town’s glitterati turned out in force for the World Premiere of the new 3D Abbatar-based movie “Voyager”.  The red carpet was rolled out at the Palace Cinema, as a virtual crowd of nearly seven people attended the screening.  “Thank-you for the profits”, said the cinema manager, “it’s all Money, Money, Money to us.”  “Gimme, gimme, gimme a seat after midnight,” chanted the crowd.  “Mamma Mia, but we’ve had a good night,” said the manager, “including the lottery where the winner took it all, the phone continued to ring, ring and knowing me, knowing you, I have a dream that if you take a chance on me, one of us is going to end up as a dancing queen.” 

2.      And good news for citizens of The Vize this week, as the town treasurer announced a generous package of giveaways this week.  Every household will receive two Pringles vouchers, the less well-off will also receive a booklet on how to starve to death in comfort, and pensioners will also receive a design-your-own-funeral discount coupon.  The package of measures will be funded by a new windbag tax, to be imposed on elderly and middle-aged women who hold up the check-out queues in Morrisons by insisting on telling the cashier about their ailments, or discussing plans for the Queen’s Jubilee week-end.
