Papa's Got A Brand New (Lucky) Bag

There was, it would seem, a slight oversight in the "Diario" report about the lucky-lucky men (see yesterday). What's in the lucky bag exactly, Mr Lucky? If you're really lucky and one prone to certain forms of experimentation, Mr Lucky may well have more than just a genuine fake Rolex with which to persuade you to hand over some folded euros.

Now what do you think might be in Mr Lucky's lucky bag, children? Because Mr Lucky is quite a happy chappy; a happy chappy who will stop daddy and let him looky-looky into his lucky bag. And what's this that daddy's found, children? Isn't Mr Lucky a funny man. That's not a Rolex, is it. Look here, see what Mr Lucky has. Some crack.

I was given this story about a luckster who stopped a tourist (with his family) along The Mile and who was nearly given a bath in the canal by the tourist, who happened to be a police officer. The not-so-lucky luckster had offered him some crack. Seemingly, the Rolex and Gucci glasses business is in fact in something of a recession, so the lucksters have diversified.

It would also seem that there is some form of lucky-lucky cloning going on. For every luckster that might have his collar felt, there is another one ready to take his place. A limitless supply of luckies. Lock one up, and up pops another.

There is stuff going down on the streets that they really need to get a hold of. ACOTUR's complaints (see also yesterday) are one thing, but there are things that you shouldn't have to expect, not in a family holiday resort anyway. I was once strolling along Bourbon Street in New Orleans and a guy sidled up to me and asked if I wanted anything. You sort of expect that in a place like New Orleans. Not in Alcúdia, you don't. Or rather, you would hope not. It's naïve to think this doesn't go on here, as it does in other parts of Mallorca. That doesn't make it any more acceptable though.


But much more pleasant news. This blog can claim many a success in its way over 500 entries these past couple of years or so. Successes like ... er ... . Anyway, the time has come to celebrate as, ladies and gentlemen, the Dimplester has shot over the 400 views mark. An almost 33% increase in Runaway Train traffic since he first appeared here, only a few days ago. For those of you who have yet to pay homage, here it is. For one more day only, I give you Dimple Diamond from Derby - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84DmeutIAr4


QUIZ
Yesterday's title - Kylie. The youtube is the great and very different version she did with Jools Holland (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeChtm8aafg). Today's title - who did this (minus the lucky)?
