Today when you reset your clocks, West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue suggest you check your smoke alarm.
BUT there are always a million reasons why you never do
....................
Not
yet Nigel, its only 5 to 6,
I'm waiting
for the Easter bun
To bring my
chocolate fix
Not yet
Nigel, there's such a lot to do
The rabbits
chewed the carpet
So I've put
them in stew
Not yet
Nigel, its time to cook some lunch
But its not
quite 11 yet
I think
i'll call it "brunch"
Not yet
Nigel, its time watch TV
Nigellas on
and licking spoons
Food
porn it is to me
Not yet
Nigel, I'm off to B & Q
I'm British, on bank holidays
Its what
the natives do
Not yet
Nigel its time to make some tea
Shopping for
shelves and gloss paint
Gives an
appetite you see
Not yet
Nigel, I'm tired and need a snooze
My feet up
on the sofa
And I'll
watch the evening news
Not yet
Nigel,its time to go to bed
I've drunk
too much (of gin I think)
I have a
pounding head!
Oh shit
Nigel the house is burning down
I didn't
check the smoke alarm
It didn't
make a sound
I'm DEAD
Nigel, whatever shall i do
I should
have checked the batteries
like you
had told me to
Tomorrow
check your smoke alarm,
No go do
it NOW!
Cos West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue
Need to get
the risk rate down
SMOKE
ALARMS LET YOU WATCH YOUR HOUSE BURN DOWN FROM THE OUTSIDE
(but contrary to what they will have youthink they don't reduce the risk of you having a fire - they just prevent you dying in it.
Why the personal attacks on Nigel Kirk? This message to check smoke alarms wasnt made by Mr Kirk, I believe it is a national campaign, yet once again you have a personal swipe. Having known Nigel Kirk for many years both professionally and personally, I have always found him to be a very fair man who cares deeply about not only the Fire Service in general but also Gipton station and it's area. While I am fully in agreement about opposing station closures, downsizing etc, I think your personal attacks on one individual detract from what you are trying to achieve.
ReplyDeleteOh dear I think someone's being paranoid. Not now Nigel is a poem by
ReplyDeleteAllan Ahlberg, this is just a parody of that one. For the full original see

Anybody who knows Big Nige would know he would be well pleased about this. Chuffed to bits, not paranoid.
ReplyDeleteyou have missed your vocation, wyfrs should employ you as their marketing expert. Poachers make the best gamekeepers.
