Yorkshitre Steves funeral. He wasn't someone I knew. Kip was drunk. He sorted the groups food and beer problems. He was jumped from behind by some big guy. Rebroke his ribs that had only just reformed from his tesco shoplifting incident last year. Kip rose to the challenge. Ignoring the pain he steamed in, punches flew, the fat cunt was on all fours when Kips steel toe capped boot met his face. Hospital stitches and an apology. Brother Kip is back;. Who else woulds I climb or tunnel with? Everone else has grown up. Not me and Kip. What are friends if they won't jump in for you when you are getting youir head kicked in?
Without the mighty Kipper hardly any of our adventures would be possible.when I think of him I think of the Flashing Blade intro
The Flashing Blade on utube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-ZEDNkZ2L4 brought back memories, thanks for that, but I have doubts about the sentiments of the lyrics in relation to the context of the program. I do not recall the background of the series, but it appeared to be set in the early 17th century, a time of religious wars when people "fought for what they want when what they want is right". Unfortunately in religion people usually think that what they want is right.
ReplyDeleteAlso unfortunately humankind never learns and we are heading for religious wars again in the 21st century.
