Title: The Searcher is back !
Post by: Belker on June 03, 2021, 02:57:34 am
Partial excerpt from Taxi Diaries;
Chapter 11, Wildlife in the city.

And the last of the Vultures on the scene are "the Searchers",
people who trawl the streets after closing time in search
of cash or valubles dropped on the ground,
there is four main ''searchers'' who work on my western side of the city,
two men both aged about forty
and an older couple who always walk hand-in-hand while searching.
Searching must be a lucrative business, because if it wasn't,
they would Not be out there seven nights a week.



The main Searcher in Cork has been missing fer well over a year,
but I saw him in town last weekend !
Surely that is a good sign that this Covid shite is nearly over !!

There used to be a couple who walked hand in hand here while searching. I haven't seen them in years, must have moved to Cork. There is still two lads that do it every night
I asked one of the leaf blowers who works for the council if he ever found anything, he said he never found a thing, the searchers have the streets picked clean of anything of value before he starts.

Very interesting, the Cork couple missing now since the Covid were a large tubby man aged about 55 and not too energetic on his feet, the lady with him was a few maybe 5 or so years younger and of much smaller even petite build and seemed a tad special needs, is this your old Galway searching couple Lizzzy ?

The Rutles were years ahead.

Pure poetry:

To the tune of GET BACK.
GET UP AND GO (Innes/Ruttles)
(Neil Innes)
The Ruttles


Working up a fever in a one-horse town
Was a Jockey by the name of Joe.
He didn't have a lot of what you might call "luck",
But he had a lot of "get-up-and-go".

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.

Tall in the saddle in a one-horse town,
Joey knew someday he'd hit the road.
He traded with a dealer for a pick up truck
And was lookin' for a medium-load.

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.


Ow! Get up and go. Get up and go back home. Ev'rybody's waitin' for ya.

Cruisin' down the highway, doin' sixty-five,
In the middle of the double-white line.
Foot down on the gas and his head in the clouds.
He didn't see the 'one way' sign.

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.

Ow! Get up and go. Get up and go back home. They're all waitin' for ya.

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home.
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home. rofl

Yeah I agree that they were the bestist original fab four on the planet;
Pity they sang so many racist songs even though one of them looked very browned off?

Didn't most of the cast of The Searchers die of cancer as a result of it being filmed on a  nuclear test site?
