Psycho's poor son has come to visit from America. Yes, Psycho actually has a child. The result of a one night stand while on holiday in America I believe. I could be wrong. I know there was no relationship though. Psycho would have everyone believe that his son’s mum is a nutter. Not that he is of course.
Anyway, Psycho has been busy demonstrating what a responsible person he is. He went off to America to pick up this poor kid without informing anyone but the girlfriend he lives with and the friend who’s car he borrowed. Of course, the trip to America involved a drive down to London, as he was flying from there. He informed The Family that he was visiting his dad, who lives in London.
The first they know of it is when he rings up The Ex, asking to borrow money for the train fare back up here. Now, The Ex is allegedly more broke than he is, as his wool shop is supposed to be doing really well. The Ex actually thought to ask why Psycho needed this money (He doesn’t normally bother with the details) and found out that the car he had borrowed to get to London had been impounded while he was picking up his son, and he didn’t have enough money in his account to cover the train fare back! So, he had managed to get both himself and his son stranded in London. Unsurprisingly, The Ex couldn’t actually afford to help out. But to top it all off, Psycho actually tried to put the blame on their senile father. It is common knowledge that he’s losing his marbles. And he doesn’t drive. How was he supposed to know which parking tickets to purchase. And shouldn’t Psycho have checked them anyway? Hmm. They made it back up here in the end though, but he had to go back down to London a few days later to get the car released. His friend was apparently livid when he found out what had happened, and hasn’t let Psycho borrow his car since.
And the story doesn’t end there, as now Psycho actually has to demonstrate his parenting skills at home. This involves foisting his son on anyone who can babysit while he and his girlfriend work in their shop all day every day. They don’t have any days off you know. Anyway, one day, The Ex was bringing the son back from Matriarch’s. He had informed Psycho what bus they were going back on, and had told him to expect them at about 7.50pm. They managed to get back on time, and tried the doorbell. When no one answered, they tried ringing the home phone. When no one answered that, they tried ringing the mobile. There was no answer there either. The Ex and Psycho’s poor kid had been standing on the doorstep for ten minutes before they were finally let in. Both Psycho and his girlfriend had been home. They had apparently not heard the doorbell. Their home phone had been unplugged for some undisclosed reason, and they has apparently left the mobile in the shop. Oh, and they had been finishing their tea too. Not that they had been expecting them back or anything. I would never leave The Toddler stranded on our doorstep with anyone, let alone someone as useless as The Ex.
The reason for the phone thing could have been related to them being a bit behind with their rent of course. Their landlord has started harassing The Ex, wanting to know how he can get hold of them and pester them for his rent. It seems that they’ve been avoiding his calls for over a month now. Hmm. And they claim the shop is doing really well. And they give The Ex grief for struggling with his own rent. But hey, should we expect anything more from Psycho really? I think not.
On a lighter note, according to our local paper, our town was hit by a Fly Invasion! Oh no!
