The Triumph of Good over Evil / April 18 2007
Just to keep you informed of the minutiae of day-to-day life in our Derbyshire village: the regional simpleton with the interminable, malfunctioning car-alarm has at last had his vehicle removed by the local authority. Yesterday, a man from the council arrived to carry it away on the back of a big red tow-truck. Hurrah!
It had been comprehensively vandalised (partly by me) and, apparently, never had any valid road tax. I knew that logic would prevail and that we would triumph eventually. All along, I had an unwavering feeling that good sense and objectivity would win in the end.
I think, after speaking with several of my neighbours, I am right in saying that the same conviction has held true through these difficult times for every other reasonable person living on our street. It has been rather like a religion, whereby the absence of a tangible god creates the need for faith.
Susan, who lives at no.29, told me that she saw him carrying what looked like a number of water tanks, several bags of colourful gravel and a couple of air pumps into his house yesterday. Hmm, perhaps this is The Dawning of the Age of Aquariums for our ugly buffoon.
