Sir Chris Hoy loses gold medal to local Ice
Cream seller. Nick Wilton given medal after replay shows he crossed line first
Sir Chris Hoy was forced to return one of his Olympic gold medals this week after a video footage
showed him being beaten by in the track race by a local ice cream seller.
Nick Wilton, who rides a traditional Ice Cream bike around Whitstable, was spotted crossing the line
one millionth of a second before Hoy – and has been given the gold medal. Speculation is now rife
that he may receive a knighthood as well.
Nick, 33, told us, “Business was a bit slow around town
so I cycled up to the Olympic stadium to see if I could
sell a few ice creams there. I made a false pass with a
picture of Ronald McDonald on it, and I got waved
through”.
Nick’s troubles began, however, when he got lost in the
unfamiliar territory and ended up straying in to the
indoor cycle race arena. “It was quite a complex site”,
said the specsavers advert actor, “And before I knew it,
I was being pursued by lots of men on bikes, including
Chris Hoy. They all looked a bit scary so I put my foot down and was doing 99mph before I knew it”.
Witnesses claim that Wilton licked the other cyclists as the laps continued but disappeared amongst
the racers as they crossed the finishing line. “It was difficult to tell who won the race at this point”,
said local cycling fan Neil Armstrong. But, two weeks after the medal ceremony, a sharp eyed official
spotted Nick Wilton’s bike crossing the finishing line just ahead of Sir Hoy who was immediately
stripped of his sixth gold medal.
“I’m fucking gutted to be honest”, said Hoy, “But rules is rules and Nick beat me fair and square”.
Back in Whitstable, Wilton told The Wind Farm, “I wasn’t even racing! I was just lost and a bit scared
to be honest. I would have lost if someone tried to ‘Stop Me And Buy One”, he joked, “But they
didn’t”.
Alice Cooper is the new head waiter at
Wheelers Legendary rocker gets the job ‘I always wanted’
Diners at the world famous Oyster restaurant Wheelers got
something of a shock last week when their waiter came to
take their order – for it was none other than rock legend
Alice Cooper!
“I couldn’t believe my eyes”, said diner Dinah Finer, “I
thought our waiter looked familiar at first and I thought it was
Alice Cooper. It was when the boa constrictor slid out from
under his lapels that I realised it was him”.
Another eater, Rita Bita, said “He didn’t have his trademark
eye make-up on, and his hair was tied back in a ponytail. But there was no mistaking that it
was him. He’s a good waiter, despite the snake”.
Cooper applied for the position of waiter after eating at Wheelers in June, and the
management were delighted to take the 63 rocker on. “I love this restaurant”, said Cooper,
real name Vincent Furnier III, “And as I’m just too old to be touring I thought I’d go into a kind
of semi-retirement as a waiter. I was a waiter back in Indiana when I was a teenager and I
loved it. It’s the job I always really wanted”.
“He does a good job”, said chef James Daniels, “He even advised a diner to try a bottle of
Louis Latour Meursault, which is perfect with fish”.
Trade has increased in the 12 seater restaurant since Cooper began work there – but fans
expecting a performance by the man who once at Frank Zappa’s guinea pig after he refused
to make him a sandwich, are in for a bit of a disappointment. “My crazy days are over”, he
insisted, “I won’t be performing or Poison or Bed Of Nails when I’m working. I’m more
interested in serving Poisson on a bed of wilted spinach leaves!”.
....’ere. You’ll never guess what I heard in
the pub the other night? Weatherspoons,
right? The Peter Cushing pub, yeah? Only
gone and applied for a special smoking
license. Yeah – but get this – they’re paying
someone to go outside and smoke your fags
for you! Yeah, I didn’t believe it either at first.
Trouble is, people go outside to smoke their
fags, right? Means no-ones at the bar
drinking. Well, I say ‘At the bar’, you’re not
allowed to stand at the bar in Weatherspoons, get barred for it. Straight up, stand at a Weatherspoons
bar for more than a minute and they chuck you out. S’true. Anyway, they’ve hired a professional
smoker to stand outside and smoke your fags. Some magician from London they reckon. Can smoke
40 fags at a time. No, America – skinny bloke. Tom Mullica, that’s him. Worked dried up since they
banned smoking indoors, see? He used to do smoking tricks but can’t get work now, poor sod.
Anyway, his job will be to stand outside and smoke everyone’s fags for them. You know who
complained about the smokers, don’t ya? That wierd couple that dobbed Tizi Deco in for that murial
she had painted on her bar. Fuckers. They reckon they also complained about their neighbours cat for
meowing too loud and told that bloke at the bookshop to stop diaplaying copies of Lady Chatterly’s
Lover in his window.....anyway, the other thing I heard is that they’re going to employ spider monkeys
to collect your glasses. Glasses that you drink from, that is, not eye glasses. Know why?
Weatherspoons don’t serve people that wear glasses.....yeah. Next time you’re in, check out the
drinkers – none of them will have glasses on. Why? Management reckon it takes them too long to
order from the menu. Quick turnover see? In, Bosh, Out. That’s why the build old peoples homes next
to main roads, innit? That’s what I heard........
And then there’s this........
A Haiku for Sweary....
Lord of the skies,
Can fill your pocket with shit
Through an open car window.
And if you're still counting
syllables
You're a bigger cunt than he is.

A competition is being run to choose a new
bridge design for the proposed beer garden at
Withered Spines 'Bertie Cushion' in
Whitstable. As part of their ever vigilant
customer service Wilted Spoans are to expand
the beer garden at the rear of the premises to
enable those needy members of our
community to smoke. And smoke in luxury at
that, with a wide selection of fireproof
loungers and poolside tables the clientele will
be able to relax 24 hours a day in the 400 seat
arena that once formed the much under used
car park.
The bridge will form a classical entrance to the
architect designed formal Beer Garden,
enabling a cinematic transition for each and
every customer heading for their dose of
nicotine. Carefully crafted to avoid any
incursion upon the historical pathway linking
the Council Car Park and the real world, the
new bridge will be themed traditionally on
'Smoke and Mirrors', blending with the body
of the pub. A passing point will be included at
the apex so pedestrians may pause a while to
drink in the visionary panorama afforded by
the elevated position. Designs offering
elements of recycling will be favoured by the
judges in the competition. Top prize will be a
lifetime membership of the Wasted Spons Dry
Drunk and Druggie Rehab and Garden Centre
at Uckfield, taxi provided twice a year.
Runners up prizes are monthly crates of
'Greasy Lally Bolter' and two weeks job
appraisal at the world famous 'Whingeing
Spires' in Cleckheaton (single rail ticket
provided).
A fine conservation quality 18 feet high brick
wall will surround the 'Fuming Zone' which
will be fitted with gilt encrusted soda
fountains and salted peanut dispensers for
the younger smokers. Topped off with
specially developed smoke and noise reducing
'Jumbobrellies' in gleaming Paynes Gray,
disturbance to neighbours could be reduced
to a staggering 97.2% of background sound.
Staff members will receive further excellent
training to offer distressed customers help
with holding smoking materials, lighters,
matches and other incendiary devices. Any
accidental burns to customers will be
immediately treated by a newly recruited
'Burns Monitor', a holder of the extra
qualification as 'Door Supervisor and First
Aider Second Class' who will carry on his
person sticky plasters, petroleum jelly and a
supply of lollipops.
Special licensing terms have been agreed
between the company and a representative of
the Grand National Union of Town Councils
based in the Outer Hebrides. Our local Council
have nodded acceptance to this by failing to
tick the negative option box provided.
A brand new range of commemorative beer
mats and ash trays have been designed to add
to the charm of this select development in the
tranquil heart of old Whitstable. The first
23,000 customers entering the 'Golden
Ashpan' will each receive a signature 'Timmy
Marto' match book and sick bag containing
coloured pencil sets and sketch books for the
children.

ADVERT
Teynham man found tarred and feathered
Sweary Seagull wanted for questioning.
A Teynham man was found lying in a skip last Saturday, having been tarred and feathered in what Police are
describing as a ‘nasty attack’.
Jon Taylor was also found with 8 pineapples shoved up his arse, with the
leafy top bit going in first. He also had several beak marks on his body
and Police are now keen to interview Sweary Seagull about the incident.
“This is a serious assault, and bares all the trademarks of a Seagull
attack. There were feathers everywhere”.
Police believe that Taylor, 33, was attacked after some remarks he
made about Beth Tweddle in last week’s ‘Ask Sweary’ column. “He also
used the ‘C word’ when describing Doris Day in a facebook post. He was
clearly trying to provoke Sweary, but it doesn’t justify the viciousness of
the attack. He’ll never sit down unaided again”
Mr Taylor was still too ill to talk to the police yesterday, and a nonchalant Sweary Seagull told The Wind Farm,
“Here we go again. I get the fucking blame every time someone gets attacked by a Seagull. There are other
Gulls out there who like Doris Day and Beth Tweddle, you know”.

FULL INTINERARY OF WIND FARM GUERILLA ART
ATTACKS FOR BIENNALLE PLANNED.
The Whitstable Biennale, which takes place during the first 3 weekends of September, is bracing itself for
a whirlwind of guerrilla set pieces from the local art community which will show how brilliant it is to live in
Whitstable. Aware that everyone in Whitstable is an artist and that 50,000 people live here they can only
put their hands on their cheeks, shouting “we love art!” and let the deluge begins on the 1st September.
Of course some may mistake the real art for the gorilla art and they may be some necessary bleeding but
The Biennale Senior Executives who say “we really love art!” and the executive committee of The
Windfarm who say the “guerrilla brochure is ready for printing.” Both agree to remain surprised by
everything.
EXPECT!
Whitstable FM BBQ On The Beach
