Do you reckon it might sell a few copies if I did?

Either way, the Council has just left after cutting his antenna and the pole (??? ) in to pieces, loading it on to the truck and presenting him with a bill too boot.
Now, you are probably asking yourself, " How does he know that?"
Well it was Afternoon Coffee time and there is a nice fresh breeze blowing, so where a place to be sitting back, relaxing and enjoying your coffee than on your front veranda.

Just had the Faithfool of Fools yelled out me across the fence, not ONLY did his t.v. antenna abortion cost him a nice little figure of $1,347.80for the Council to remove the debris from the road but when it went crashing down, because he had zip-tied the cable from the antenna to the, yes, you can laugh, I did , power mains running from the power pole in the street to his house but it also tore the power lines from his meter box out as well.
The local crew from the Electric Suppliers have just left AFTER securing the torn power lines to his house as well a disconnecting them from the mains circuit supply system and as they were leaving they too handed him another bill.
I'm not certain how his solar cells system works because it does not have storage batteries, etc, so I'm guessing he will be enjoying some time in the darkness tonight and perhaps for a few days more as well.

@Triphid I almost feel sorry for him. Oh how his god is punishing him.

@Triphid It's a sign that his god was protecting him when he zip tied to those power lines!

@anglophone No, more like, imo IF there ever was such a thing as god, checking out if he is dumb enough to be considered as a "True Believer" or not.
Imagine the amount Electro-magnetic Field interference he would have getting through the old fashioned figure of 8 cable that he was using instead of the shielded co-axial cable that mostly everyone else uses these days.

@Triphid His ignorance of electricity is quite "shocking"!

@anglophone Hey, NO joke here BUT about 3 years ago HE came and asked ME " How to change the battery in his vehicle" because the other one had gone flat overnight because he had left the cabin light on after searching for his wallet and finding it in his pocket anyway.
Many are the simple and easy household tasks that he has sought help/advice from neighbours about, tasks that my 8 year old nephew, Henry, has been doing now for at least 3 years.

@Triphid Could the word "simpleton" apply to him?

@anglophone Imo, Far, far too over-complimentary and way too much of an over-statement as well.

@anglophone Only where the power line to the house was attached to a bracket to hold it clear of making any contact with the structure, etc.

Jeez Louise the winds were nowhere that strong when his Tower of Babble-on (T.V. antenna to pick up his beloved Christian TV shows btw ) its "swan-dive."
Shit, they'd be hard pressed to blow away the odour of fart at present.

@Triphid Good thing you're not getting those winds, it's terrifying. The house I rode out that storm in was 10 miles from that church.

Maybe it is the Revenge of the Scam Pedlars because he has not given them enough money this week....LOL>

@Triphid Maybe you should mention that to him. He might sell his home for redemption.

@Betty Never thought of trying that approach, might just give it a go.

@Triphid Please do and let me know how it turns out.
By the way...Thank you for making me laugh. It feels good.

@Triphid How are you feeling?

@Lilac-JadeCanada Health-wise, have my days of ups and downs, humour and amusement wise, well it is free laughs aplenty and way better than anything ever to come out of Hollywood imo, comedy-wise, other things considered, to quote Ned Kelly, " Such is Life."

@Triphid Jokes are always good.

He does, doesn't he. He has become my guilty pleasure and a welcome distraction.

Trust me, I wish mine was a lot less Evangeloonified.
It was great when we had the previous owners there, they may have been Christians but they kept it to themselves and treated everyone as friends, etc.

@Triphid I'm of two minds. I enjoy your stories about him and I want you to have peaceful enjoyment of your home. You might say I'm conflicted. lol

@Betty Try not to worry about me, I've handled far, far worse than him, trust me.
Its the neighbours that I worry about most regarding him, he has already alienated the couple on the other side of his house more times than a fish has scales.

@Triphid I sense a story in there somewhere.

@Betty @Triphid's posts make a story in themselves.

@Betty Way, way too long, involved and drawn out to relate on here I'm sorry to say.

@Triphid You could start with chapter one. Maybe?

@Betty I keep getting tempted to sneak photograph the Evangelidiot and pot it for all to see BUT I'm not 100% certain if your nerves, digestive systems or otherwise health can actually take it.

@Triphid Try me.

@Triphid Same here.
