Who got a rocket today?
10 Answers
A London traffic warden, working his first day in his new job, today had a Close Encounter of a kind he will never forget. Not only did he find a spaceship illegally docked, but also experienced an extremely irate aeroNUT.
Ivor Tykkett was making a note of details when the captain of the craft returned. However, it was too late, as once Ivor starts writing he has to finish. Despite desperate pleas, accentuated with expletives, the 'pilot', believed to be a Captain Slog, was issued with the inevitable fixed penalty. The warden, in a statement later, said there was also a passenger in the capsule. However, appearing to be an alien, he was only able to talk gibberish. The warden commented: 'He was clearly nuts'.
Following a prolonged and heated exchange of words, the captain took his ticket, returned to the ship, opened the throttle and launched into the afternoon sky, eventually vanishing up his own cosmic dust trail.
Apparently today is his birthday, and he only parked for a few moments to buy a cake. Wonder if the party will still go ahead . . .
STOP PRESS: This evening, London-based forum house, Ansa Bank Towers, has received an inter-galactic message from the captain, saying he is totally hacked off, but is not crying for attention. He also claims, by satellite, to have been 'fooled by a monkey'. It has not been confirmed whether he was referring to traffic warden Ivor Tykkett or an unidentified homo sapien.
