RE: What have I missed25 Aug 2023 08:20
all will be revealed by an old man who sits at the end of the bar in tyndrum at some point in the distant future. he’s about 80 and tells everyone how when he was young, he invested in a gold mine. all his wealth was pumped in. only to be deceived by those he thought were friends. one of his hero’s called big phil even flew off to switzerland. it turns out, the mountain wasn’t full of gold, his **** wasn’t lined with diamonds, and alas, he had built his last attic conversion to move into all he had left. a shack parked up at the back of the tyndrum inn. some tourists often fling him a penny or buy him a lager shandy to quieten him down as he is seen to get feverish, often shouting, “it’s coming tomorrow” and “the new rig is in the post i tell ye”. social workers stepped in when he tried to change his name by deed poll to tb. short for totally bonkers. some say on a dark night he sits on the porch listening for the sound of the pick axes in the dark. still believing that it will all come good in the end.
