Your astrological week ahead, with Psychic Bob

Pisces (20 FEB-20 MAR)
Spice up your love life by trying something different this week, like running it under a tap once in a while, for Christ’s sake.

Aries (21 MAR-19 APR)
Before risking your physical safety and your sanity to perfect your performance in a production of ‘Swan Lake’, you should first ask yourself the important question why – given that it’s only ballet and nobody cares – are you even fucking bothering?

Taurus (20 APRIL – 20 MAY)
This week, your ideal partner will come into your life. Riding on a unicorn that can cure cancer.

Gemini (21 MAY-20 JUN)
Improv, you say? Either write a script or give me my fucking tenner back, you bone-idle chancer.

Cancer (21 JUN-22 JUL)
Help your kids learn the value of money by making them do odd jobs to earn their allowance. 60-40 split on the package, and the count better be right.

Leo (23 JUL-22 AUG)
Life is merely the prelude to the main feature that is the afterlife. That’s why yours seems so disjointed, dull and full of adverts.

Virgo (23 AUG-22 SEP)
Your new wet/dry hoover keeps your carpet amazingly clean but you know what else would work? Not being such a cackhanded moron and occasionally treating your dog’s worms.

Libra (23 SEP-23 OCT)
Nobody likes doing housework but your habit of sealing up the flat with concrete and selling it every time the bins need emptying is proving costly.

Scorpio (24 OCT-21 NOV)
This week you discover that Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio- gogogoc means ‘the noise a Welshman makes when retrieving his frisbee from an electricity pylon’.

Sagittarius (22 NOV-21 DEC)
With the lights out it’s less dangerous, here we are now, entertain us. Honestly, how hard can it be to run a cinema?

Capricorn (22 DEC-19 JAN)
As a retired footballer you envy the younger lads being busy week in, week out but every now and then you still manage to bang an anonymous model in a Traveldoge.

Aquarius (20 JAN-19 FEB)
Rah rah, ah ah ah. Roma, roma ma. Gaga ooh la la. I think that covers all the main points.

Auction uncovers 'Five Go Deporting'

AUCTIONEERS have discovered an unpublished Enid Blyton manuscript about a group of children who spend the summer deporting gypsies.

The story was among a number of lots bought by a children’s literature centre including Blyton’s ‘Patented negro classification chart’ which she used when hiring staff and the hockey stick she used to beat them with.

Pre-Sesame Street children’s literature expert, Nikki Hollis, said: “This new book is an incredibly exciting find, especially the chapter where Anne and George are hosed down with disinfectant after holding hands with a pair of Polish boys.

“It shows the Famous Five growing up a little, as the focus moves away from cycling around Cornwall having adventures and centres on them getting jobs in the local immigration department so they can apply to have a traveller’s camp bulldozed.”

Hollis says jottings in the margin suggest Blyton intended it to be part of a series of books, with other titles including ‘Five Call For Tighter Border Controls’ and ‘Five Go Jew Hunting’.

The author also made copious notes for a new version of Monopoly where the players have to buy all the property in a village to keep it English.

The manuscript will go on display next month alongside a first edition copy Toyland Burning, where PC Plod deliberately botches his investigation into Noddy and Big Ears dragging a golliwog to his death by tying him to the bumper of Noddy’s taxi after Tessie Bear claimed she was raped.
