This crazy Irish gypo wench

[Amelie]

just knocked on my door asking me to buy 'a lucky charm' for a pound. Now this lucky charm was no less a glass bead thingy, you know the naff things that were supposedly fashionable to put in the bottom of vases a few years ago thanks to the likes of Linda Barker et al. Now i know you can get these in huge bags from places like poundstretcher for a quid, and they do not advertise them as having any magical luck bringing powers so how come hers do?

Anyway, when i refused, admitidly half lauging at the daftness of it all, the cow said:

'Now girl, i have cursed you good so i have for mocking me'

Crazy bitch or what.

Surley no-one falls for this kinda crap?

[toon_armani]

was it any curse in particular? or just "you're cursed" ?

[grad]

lol, i'm sure some people fall for it..

why can't I read this bit without breaking into a bit of pirate?

A lot of it is superstition, I think its a load of shit myself and if things go bad youll think it was cause your cursed but thats bollocks things were going to go bad for you anyway its just that when bad things happen you look for something \ someone to blame and all your bad luck from now on youll question the fact that your cursed

I used get these folks quite a lot, and not content with knocking on the door (when there is a bell there - hello?) they would knock, very loudly on the windows as well (wtf?) and as I work nights (not for much longer, 6 more woo woo) they'd often wake me up, so I opened the door one morning and said "Yes?" and this woman just stands there pushing forward a wooden spoon with these beads and the likes hanging off it "want one?" - I couldn't believe she'd knocked on the windows and woke me up to offer me some arse beads or whatever the feck they were - and there's me thinking there was a fire or something, so I just said "No thanks" and she looked at me, smiled and said "your time will come, sonny" - I hate being called sonny, that really wound me up and I just told her to piss off.

The next week, the same thing happened again, but this time there were 3 of them, stood there, and when I opened the door, I was actually quite worried, as I'd got the fear, and thought "fuck, they are multiplying each time"

I felt like I was in a horror film, and just said "errr yes?" and the same thing, they had wooden spoons with little bits of crap dangling off them, "Only £1 each sonny" - fucksake

I didn't even say owt, just slammed the door in their faces and went back to bed.

Nothing then for over a month (I thought, yeah, they'll have got the message) and then one week, a loud bang at the door (like someone was kicking it!!!) so I go down to have a look, and there's a whole fucking family of them out there

I opened the door, raging as I'd been woken up again, and started shouting (without taking a breath) "LOOK, I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOUR FUCKING RUBBISH, I WORK NIGHTS AND YOU PEOPLE KEEP WAKING ME UP, WHY DON'T YOU FUCK OFF TO BRAMHALL WHERE THE RICH FUCKERS WILL BUY ANYTHING TO GET RID OF YOU, AND FOR FUCKS SAKE DON'T CALL ME SONNY AGAIN" and slammed the door.]

That was the last I saw of them, thank Christ.

pmsl nice onw blue jam, it pisses me off even more if they're trying to sell bits of twigs n stuff like that, "yeah sure i'll buy one of the twigs for £1 that u probably nicked outta my garden, which is no doubt covered in cat pee" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

[Bubbles]

There used to be one that came round my nanas once a year without fail selling lavender and my nanna bought this lavender off her every time she came round. And she used to belive in all that crap about curses and that so if i used to see em id just dodge em that way u are safe Never had one knock at my door tho

[sirius]

If Id have put this thread title up Id have been taken on an OSA outing and given a damn good kicking...... . Just kiddin'..


Its been a long time since we got this sort of stuff going on, its usually more rife when there is the travelling fairground in town......the whole town goes a bit royston vasey and you get poeple at the door selling pegs n stuff........ Its the same time of year that the local Ironmongers decides to order an extra large batch of garden shed padlocks, funny that isnt it? Cant think for a minute why .

Its been a long time since Ive been down town on a night out (its far too rough ) but you used to get them selling roses, which is better, but the prices were extortionate - are they still doing that? "Rose for the special lady, sir?" at which point I look around and realise that there isnt any ladies in the entire place, specially not with me, and you just mumble "Errm, no thanks not tonight" to try and move them along. Dont engage eye contact whatsoever, look at your shoes otherwise they may cast a spell over you, lol.

Amelie, I hope the curse cancels out the other one - as you know two minuses end up a plus. . Ive never been cursed, well not to my knowledge or earshot anyway - Ive probably been Voodoo'd a few times lol.
