his actions “…reached depths of mental cruelty previously unheard of in this court.” — Judge Hackisnackersoff
The above quote is a dead-on description of my dead husband, ex-Simon. He could be a HEARTLESS, VICIOUS, SADISTIC, MONSTEROUS MONSTER when he wanted to be, a SICK, TWISTED APPLIER OF MENTAL CRUELTY to me, your little Dotty. Here’s a list of a few of the things he did – I can’t tell you all of them, we’d be here all week and some things were too horrendously cruel for me to speak about yet, too painful for me to even THINK about without bringing on a series of major panic attacks, for example WHAT HE USED TO DO TO MY CUMBERLAND SAUSAGES.
THE TELLY
Ex-Simon was a remote control control freak, if it wasn’t where he put it last he went ballistic and paddied around like a two year old until he found it. He wanted complete control of the telly and that might have been okay if he’d watched PROPER PROGRAMMES like soaps and films and crime things and costume dramas, and proper documentaries about gypsies and dead sovereigns and that dirty diseases programme with the doctors and the people who’ve had a nasty EMBARRASSING thing wrong with them for years but they’ve been too EMBARRASSED to talk to their own doctor or tell anyone about it so they GO ON TELLY AND SHOW THE NASTY THING TO THE NATION – what’s that all about, eh?
Anyway, a female can put up with WAR PROGRAMMES for only so long before the violence gets to her and she batters the telly screen in with a hammer. When we went to buy a new one, ex-Simon wanted to get one with Sky or Branson added on but I put my foot down and said NO because I’ve never seen the point in having FIFTY MILLION TELLY CHANNELS when you can only watch one at a time, or with a twin thingy Freeview you can record two channels and watch one but that’s still only THREE CHANNELS at a time – and when do people WATCH IT ALL? Do all these subscribers get 10 extra hours in the day that the rest of us don’t get so they can get their money’s worth of telly? Because it costs a fucking bomb to subscribe to them, I know because they keep sending me shitemail to get me to sign up – BUT I WON’T because I’M BOYCOTTING THEM and the reason I’M BOYCOTTING THEM is because they THIEVE AWAY ALL THE GOOD TELLY PROGRAMMES after we’ve had one or two series’ on ITV or Channel 4 and we’ve got to like them and want to watch the next series but BOSH along comes Sky or Branson with their big bags of dosh and we don’t get to see what happened next —

are just 4 of the programmes they’ve THIEVED. So I’ll NEVER EVER sign up and give them loads of money, what I do is I WAIT UNTIL THE DVD BOXSET IS CHEAP and then I buy it and KEEP IT and Sky and Branson and whoever else can FUCK OFF.
BREAD
At the same time as ex-Simon decided to become a MINIMAL, he also decided to become a health freak. He wouldn’t let me buy WHITE BREAD. He wouldn’t even let me buy BROWN BREAD, I had to buy WHOLEMEAL BREAD and not just NORMAL WHOLEMEAL BREAD, I had to buy WHOLEMEAL BREAD WITH ADDED BITS OF SHITE IN IT like sunflower seeds and poppy seeds (not opium poppy seeds) and sawdust chunks and the bits got stuck in my teeth after I’d eaten it and I had to slash-floss like fuck to get them out again because normal flossing just MOVED THE BITS to a different position.
FEET
Even writing about this is making me cringe and shudder and squirm and feel very, very sick. I HATE feet, they’re nasty and disgusting and ugly and germy and smelly and diseasey and uuuuuurrrrgggghhhhh, I feel sick
I can’t do this one, I’m gipping too much
he never wore socks in bed, the evil fucker
AND THERE’S WORSE
no, I can’t do it
I’ll have to go, I need a BIG swig of laudanum to take away the nausea.
Just imagine the absolute worst things to do with feet and that’s what he did.
UUUUURRRGGGGHHHHHHH

Some of my fav shows. I do not have the pay tv either so I do like you, or worse, I buy bootleg or convince friends to download them and give them to me.
LOL
Feet ARE nasty. I am sorry that you had to endure all of that,
Dotty Headbanger
/ April 23, 2012Dear psychowatcher,
I HATE those companies – people have more money than sense if they pay for telly, I just don’t see the point when there are so many Freeview channels.

Dotty Headbanger
/ April 23, 2012Dear Daniel,
Twice daily would be fine if twice daily meant one programme at 3.00am and another at 4.00am and that’s it, but for men who like war programmes twice daily means something different – ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT.

/ April 23, 2012My whole past week revolved around the fact that you can’t get ANY TV here now, without paying. That seems unconstitutional, at the very least, and I’m looking into it. The last person I know who tried to do that with their feet is in prison now. True story. uuuuuuuuuuurrrggghhhhhh.
Dotty Headbanger
/ April 23, 2012Dear Gobby,
Our telly isn’t free, we have to pay our TV License every year to the BBC which is another reason why I think it’s stupid to pay these companies for more crap telly to be piped in or flown in. It’s all stupid.

P.S. Love you.

/ April 23, 2012Dear Dotty honey,
The more you tell us about ex-Simon, the happier I am that you popped a cap in his forehead. When you put up with that shit for so long, you either kill him, (Yay) or you start watching the same programmes, (Booooooo.)
As for feet, just the thought of all the nasty, perverted things a man could do with his feet are enough to make me…..excuse me…….throw up my breakfast. I won’t go into all the reasons they make me sick, but let me just say a long hairy second toe longer than the first and really flat. There, now aren’t you glad I didn’t say anything?
Love you,

Dotty Headbanger
/ April 23, 2012Dear John P.
Yes, we’ve always had to pay it. It costs £145.50 a year – if we don’t pay it we get fined. They have telly detector vans that come round the streets detecting signals so they can find out if a telly is switched on in an unlicensed house. And they wonder why so many of us are paranoid.

He sounds horrible. Who honestly prefers wholegrain bread with things in it to wonderful, soft white or brown bread? And don’t get me started on the television abuse–he deserved his fate.
No jury in the world could convict you, knowing what we know about ex-Simon.

You poor thing did what any once sane woman had to do…more times than naught I’ve thought of smashing the TV in when the war programs run endlessly (give it a rest…ok!!)…thankfully I no longer can eat any foods that the others eat so that no longer matters and I really don’t want to visualize ex-Simon’s feet or toes doing anything…yuck. Toes are weird and only good for laughing at when looked at from a distance. I side with you. Goodbye ex-Simon!!
