I return! Like an eel in a coracle, or a
wasp in a thermos flask. I know I’ve not been getting as many posts on here as
I should and I know I’ve said before that I’ll be more prolific so I’m here to
tell you two things:
- There will be more blog posts in the future
- They will appear at a higher frequency
- They will make less sense than ever.
You can put that in a bag and call take it
to the funeral home.
Talking of funeral homes, there’s one down
the road from where I live which has the most interesting exterior decoration
this side of the M6. You’re all familiar with what a Tudor house looks like I
presume. White walls, black beams, you might be able to summon the image in
front of your mind right now. There might even be a Tudor man and Tudor woman standing
outside the house. Give them a wave. Are they waving back? Try again. Anything?
Probably not. Bastards.
Oi! Big nose! Look me in the eye when you don't wave at me. |
You’re also probably aware of the 20th
Century Mock-Tudor house. You know, you see them in middle-class housing
estates with their black timbers and white bits of wall. There’s probably a
Ford Mondeo in the drive way. Possibly a Ford Focus as well. There’s a nice
couple standing outside. Give them a wave. Are they waving back? Probably not.
That’s because you are too poor and they are afraid of you. If you look
carefully they have both let a little bit of wee come out.
Stop being happy and wealthy and eat your dinner. |
So, we know what a Tudor house looks like,
although you might be thinking of the Tudor Revival of the late 19th
and early 20th Century. I’ll let you off this time, but my goodness
you’re pushing it. One of these days we’re going to come to blows and when the
punching starts I punch to maim. Not to demoralise or deter, proper horrible,
brutal, nasty, ugly punches. And I’ll kick you in the balls as well. If you’re
not a ball owner I’ll kick someone else in their balls and it will be all your
fault. So please, just stop dicking around and pay attention. It’s your own
time you’re wasting.
If I may continue. You’ve got your Tudor
house and you’ve got your Mock Tudor house. Both of them involve the use of
wooden beams visible on the exterior, in the Tudor house they are actually
structural whereas in the Mock Tudor house they are more decorative, to give
the impression of a half-timber structure.
The funeral home down the road has taken
this one step further by painting on the dark timer beams. Yes, that’s right;
it’s a Mock Mock Tudor building. I don’t know whether to shit myself or go
blind. Suffice to say, every time I pass by I give it a round of applause.
I’m guessing that right about now you’re
thinking:
“That’s
exactly the look I’ve been searching for my home. But how can someone like me
ever afford to have a house like that?”

organs because Mashemon Property Redesign offer a wide range of exciting design
