Revenge has arrived...Originally posted by Clippy View PostSounds like a keeper!
Apparently the cleaners haven't been doing a good enough job, so she's taken it into her head to set about cleaning the bookshelves in my office.
It'll take weeks before I get everything back to its ordered disorder.

It was early in the morning, in a small village, on a an old machine. I grabbed a coffee round the corner and only when I came to pay did I realise I missed out the crucial step but by then, perhaps 2 minutes later, the money had gone. I waited until the bank opened but when I told them that I'd heard that's what cash machines do, and that's why I was waiting for them, they looked at me as if in disbelief that I could be so naive. Complete myth, they said, Someone's lucky day!Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostI did that in the West End, and the machine whisked it back in before any scrote could grab it.
Taking another £100 out made me think how much stuff I do whilst in dreamland, leaving a lot of it to what I thought was my trusty auto-pilot.Comment

Today we shall be buying a christmas tree- which will not look overly large when set against the background of all the other trees on offer, however when it is delivered it will fill the living room and appear to have doubled in size.
It happens every year
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

Buy a tree with roots. They're always small and they live after Christmas.Originally posted by Pogle View PostToday we shall be buying a christmas tree- which will not look overly large when set against the background of all the other trees on offer, however when it is delivered it will fill the living room and appear to have doubled in size.
