Rubbedy - Rhyming slang: Rub a dub dub = pub.
I deny I suggested ginseng. We spoke of the ‘done – methadone, maintenance medication taken orally.. Pete wouldn’t consider it. Stated it was an artificial chemical. What he thought his last hit was cut with I have no idea – organically grown green tea leaves perhaps?
Didn’t work for the Post Office – A clerk for British Telecom actually (but let’s not quibble.)
Ambulance administered Narcan which counters the effects of the smack.
I understand, on good authority, it was quite possible to maintain a habit and lead a functional life – some however couldn’t…
Didn’t do it; did head to the rubbedy. How did I tell him? You be the judge.

I\'ve not seen a proper comedy show since, ooh, about 1978!
On telly they say \'New comedy show coming soon\', and show a traiIer. I say \'Where is the comedy?\' Laugh? I never even started!
Stand-up comedians are the worst.

Shakespear was performed as a comedy in its day. There\'s still a lot of good fun stuff from yesteryear on film and very enjoyable. But stuff like ted ray, arthur haynes, harry worth, charlie drake and morecombe and wise just don\'t work as funny anymore.
Times move on. Theres a UK tv channel shows old movies and i\'ve tried watching 40\'s comedy but its banal. To a certain extent, a lot of comedy styles have an expiry date it seems.

My gagging reflex barely allowed me to read this piece.

Ah - am still experiencing the chill you describe well in this part of your trilogy Dave - a visit you will never forget methinks to that small northern town and told so realistically I was almost there - that cell could tell some tales I bet but yours would be hardly believed - - an amazing memory compellingly rhymed.

Wow - what a well written tale of your experience of nightlife in London - - I logged onto the same poetic description of you taking custody of your wandering eyes Dave - an engaging read and am so glad I caught your impressively rhymed story of back-along.

Those times of the sixties were so wonderful, I was there and yes I remember them dancing the night away in my new suit with the collarless jacket aka The Beatles. Wonderful memories that can be brought back with a song.

\"And I attempt custody of my eyes\" - what an excellent line! - out on stalks i imagine.
A good read, we all have interesting past lives it appears. Did you know Orchi and his dog were archers at the battle of Hastings where a wounded King Harold taught him to sing. Kept an eye on him.
So why did yer emigrate? It was a bit late for those prison ships.

I too worked on modern railways, only for two years though and mainly on-board during daily journeys from London to Edinburgh and back, I believe I still have the guards T key I was gifted,
what a wonderful dip into long forgotten memory isles you\'ve gifted me with your write,
I liked your witty commentary and though I couldn\'t relate directly - you still managed to imbue that nostalgic grace such timeworn professions have, as windows to history\'s forgotten cultural treasures,
a brilliant read for me personally,
thank you for sharing Dave

Got it. Quite an extensive Wikipedia article on \'gandy dancer\'. The hand operated cars I think I\'ve seen in old silent movie chase scenes (probably a Buster Keaton, as I was quite addicted to his movies at one time).

When you walk in the woods, you seek a path, a more direct way forward. This is true of how customs become what they are, the easiest way forward, but there are others (explorers) who choose the more difficult path and find great rewards while risking great defeats.
A thought provoking write. It exemplifies that explorer spirit. A lot of great people were non conformists. _ Phil A.
