    It's not quite beyond hope, but very nearly, what with 60 odd years of sun damage.
    I've never heard it called that before. How is it getting so much sun? You been wearing cellophane pants or something?

      I've also given the birds 6 wholemeal rolls/baps/buns which went stale last week coz I was indisposed.

      They seemed to have trouble flying afterwards.

        That side of the wardrobe faces the window, which, in turn faces due south.

        Well it's a little east of due south, but close enough.

          Just had yet another unsolicited phone call from the subcontinent.

          I spoke to someone whose real name really isn't Kevin.

          He wished to speak to ZeitPater.

          I said he isn't here.

          Oh.

          When will he be back so I can call again.

          He isn't coming back.

          Oh.

          Ok.

          Good bye.

          Maybe this is my new technique.

            This time the call was from a nice Welsh lady representing SolarPlan.

            I was very gentle.

                Cheques are outside standard practice so the screw up will have to be revealed to his boss.

                It gets more entertaining as he was still threatening / attempting to blackmail me by insisting on not refunding me until I return the v5.

                I especially don't think he will like my written confirmation of our conversation (needed as seat are "concerned" about my experience).
                merely at clientco for the entertainment

                    Stars in their eyes? Is the teacher in charge really old?

                      I'm at the pub. Hectic day ahead of next week's implementation. UAT didn't go to plan since the production webs fell over and took that environment with it. Guess what got the attention? Don't they know we're working miracles on their behalf? Ungrateful bastards. Still, I'm on holiday next week so safely out of the way of any flak. And I'm at the pub, did I mention that?
