my life as a artist
hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face

I've always found that the finger of Fate, though fickle, can often be quite helpful, in a prodding, pointing sort of way, whereas the hand of Fate only seems to be interested in dealing blows. I think this is because Fate is still really upset at only having one hand, having lost the other, a few years ago, in a really bad hand-accident. When Fate uses her finger, because she's got a choice, she feels more empowered and at ease with herself, and doesn't tend to lash out as much.
Last week I invited Fate round for a meal in the caravan, along with Destiny, Justice and Deliverance. I'm a bit sensitive about my porta-potti, so these days all my dinner guests tend to be non-corporeal archetypes, because they don't go to the toilet.
I noticed that Destiny only had one hand as well, but seemed to be much more relaxed about the whole thing (and dealt with the peas better, as well). Justice was late, as usual, and at one point we thought she was never coming. To pass the time, Deliverance played us a few hill-billy tunes on the banjo.
Archetypes can sometimes get a bit lofty, and I like to think that it did Fate good, to share a simple meal with a lowly poet, in a humble, but filthy, caravan. It's often said that if the finger of Fate is ever going to penetrate the sticky fundament of mystery, it has to be dipped in the milk of human kindness first.
Interestingly, a lot of non-corporeal archetypes are keen Huddersfield Town fans, and there was fierce competition over the 'Andy Booth; Legend' mug when it came round to coffee-time. We discussed last weeks disappointing F.A. cup result against Chelsea Ltd. Fate and Destiny were actually at the game, but Deliverance and Justice couldn't get a ticket.

How come you get all these interesting characters visiting you? I only get my sister and brother-in-law, and we have a normal toilet.

you should maybe invest in a 'Thetford 365'portapotti..has 'real flushing action',and can support a family of 2 for at least a weekend!(providing the gentleman uses the bushes)could certainly help with the 'filth' in that �

My friend had tyres on his Alfa 33 made by a company called Fate (we took the pi55 regularly). Needless to say, they helped his car off the road to damage a tree (that was just an innocent bystander). He was returning from a day out at Alton Towers and

I was really enjoying this post - then in the last paragraph you went and spoiled yourself by using the F word.
Again.
