He Needs A Drink!

Where Is The Pub?

There are eight platforms to receive people like us, concealed beneath an impressive awning which I thought was quite possibly Victorian in design. Others shared my opinion, for as Tony and me jumped from our train, tourists were busily arching their heads back to get a better look at the awning, and to take the occasional photograph.

 

FUCKING TOURISTS! They get everywhere. Tony pushed his way past a group of sightseers. He wasn’t interested in the awning – he just wanted to get a beer down his throat, nicotine into his lungs, and his backside on a barstool. So when he saw that there was no bar in the station he looked upwards, and asked God why. Why – the creator of all – did you not put a fucking bar in this station? And then on he went, pushing his way through the crowds, optimistic that there would be a pub waiting for us outside.

Goodbye To All Of This

The End

So after four years in Catford, where they had hoped to build a decent life for themselves, Dave Cooper and Tony Joy are finally leaving town.

 

They won't be missed, because during those four years Dave and Tony have done some wicked things.

 

And just why are they going?

 

To find out the answer to this question, and to witness their leaving, turn the pages of the final instalment of The Londoners trilogy, The Londoners 3 - No Turning Back.

 

The good people of southeast London will sleep soundly tonight, now that Cooper and Joy are gone.

 

 

 

Now Valerie is standing by the window, and as the sun burns away the last of the heavy clouds, in the best English she can speak she tells me that she wants to swim in the sea, and then go out for the evening. She wants to dance and have fun. It sounds like a great idea to me, and after telephoning her Mama to say that she won’t be coming home tonight, Valerie is slipping into her bikini, and dreaming of pulsating music and beer.

 

At least Dave Cooper can dream, as his life spirals out of control.

A Whore Named Jill

 

Make Her Cry!

 

 

I decided that she was no amateur when it came to fellatio. She was just too fucking good to be an amateur. I looked at her again. She was in her early forties. She had lived a life before I came along. Of course she wasn't a fucking amateur. Had she sucked the cocks of her male colleagues? Quite possibly. And Alan's cock? I didn't think so. How many other men had she entertained in her bed, whilst Alan had been away fishing? One? Two? Hundreds? No – not hundreds. Her cunt was too immaculate. It was a beautiful cunt – and it was only for me. Or was it? The soft music. The chilled wine. How many other times had she entertained men? I should have fucked her harder than I did, because even though she had cried at the end, I had made the mistake of feeling sorry for being so rough with her. But perhaps she enjoyed rough sex, and that her crying had been an act to hide the fact that she liked being treated like a slut. That was it. The next time – perhaps tonight – there would be anal sex. That will make the slut cry.

A Camping Holiday To Remember

She may well satisfy Andy's urges.

At midnight we were visited by Roger, the campsite owner. He wanted to know when we were going to bed, as there had been numerous complaints from other guests, who had moaned about our language, and lack of respect for others. Andy looked at him and laughed. He said he was on holiday, and holidays were for drinking, eating, and satisfying one's sexual urges. Roger lowered his voice and said he agreed wholeheartedly with what Andy had said, but he had to think about his other guests, especially those with small children. Tony let out a disgustingly loud belch, and said that all small children were bastards. Dave sighed, and asked Roger if he wanted a drink. Roger looked at all of us, chuckled, and asked for a can of strong cider.

 

A book about the joys of being unemployed.

Dave Cooper and Tony Joy on a camping holiday somewhere in England, together with their friends. Needless to say, after a few cans of strong cider, good manners will soon be forgotten.

The Londoners - Book 1

Death On The Line

Behind the building in which we live, beyond a crumbling wall, there's a railway line linking south-east London to Kent. It's the line which brings thousands of commuters to London every weekday, by the trainload, and once the working day is over, it's the same line which delivers those commuters safely back home. It's the line onto which a few people have thrown themselves, to end their miserable lives, and it's the line which Tony likes to look at every now and then, so that he can watch the trains go by, and make rude gestures to the passengers in the overcrowded carriages, thinking to himself that he's glad that it's not him heading to work, for another boring day at the office.

Our Portuguese neighbour once complained to our landlord about the fact that she was unable to hang anything expensive on her walls, because every time a train goes by, our building seems to vibrate. The landlord replied that trains, like acts of God, are out of his control, and if she is unhappy about being unable to hang watercolours on her walls, perhaps she should look elsewhere to live. She soon got the point, and now realises that although life in a big city is all about noise, pollution, and being surrounded by lots of people, it's also about being able to get from A to B, very easily, thanks to the wonders of public transport.

No Turning Back

We are now leaving Catford, in south-east London, and we’re never coming back. From my grubby window I see a street which we know well. It is our street – or now, it was our street. I think I can see the roof of our favourite pub, in which Sid, the landlord, will be wondering why Tony and me are not stood at the bar, ordering drinks and complaining about life. Goodbye Sid. Goodbye pub. Goodbye to the smell of the pub. And then I can see some shops, an abandoned warehouse, a yard overflowing with car tyres and the shell of a very old coach. We pass under a viaduct. There are a few trees and then the grey landscape reappears. More yards, more abandoned vehicles and factories which are empty and falling apart.

 

Dave Cooper & Tony Joy must leave Catford - and they won't be coming back!

But why must they go?

Extract taken from "The Londoners 3" - due out this summer.

Broken Bottles

Stuck In Traffic

 

Sid moaned all the way from Maidstone. He said it was the last time he was going to drive us anywhere. He complained that he had a sore throat, which was a result of lager depravation. When we joined the M25 his misery was further compounded by a massive tailback. A Polish lorry had shed its load of vodka. When Tony saw the police sweeping the last few broken bottles from the inside lane, he said it was a terrible waste of good alcohol.
