Ugh

The other year I was gigging in Cambridge, but a new card was due. As I didn't want it sitting in the hall all week while I was away, I popped into the bank on Saturday afternoon and asked them to send the new card - which wasn't due to be issued for another couple of weeks - to my local branch, so I could collect it from there.

The young lady fiddled about on the computer, brightly told me that was all set up for me, and I left. Then I attempted to buy some books, and my card was declined.

I went back to the bank where a (different) young lady checked and told me my current card had been cancelled, as I'd requested. I pointed out that I had requested no such thing, and she shrugged and said that as it had been cancelled, there was nothing they could do.

Twas much the same here. Card expires Monday. I said to Mr ms to make sure he fills up with petrol etc before Tuesday, as his card won't work. Thought I should chase the replacement. Probably sent out two weeks ago, but they couldn't be sure - "Do you want me to cancel and send you a replacement?" I assumed that he was cancelling the new card, not the current. By the time I realised he meant the current one, it was too late.

Good show, the towel wash has caused the washing machine to piss water all over the floor.

It was fine on the first load so I was lulled into a false sense of security.

Bastard!

I thought that NatWest had forgotten to send another cheque book for ZeitMater's account.

So I went in & requested another.

Guess what I found at the bottom of the pile of papers on the sideboard.

I've just been finding out how to make very unhealthy stuff even unhealthier. Crush pack of hob nobs, and melted butter and reassemble.

Open tin of condensed milk (don't cut your tongue when licking the lid) and add butter and sugar.

Still, I'm sure the bananas will add the required one of the five a day.

The BBE date probably only applies in the subtropical regions of Leicestershire where the pie originated. It'll be fine where you are

Just checked the pub's FB page. It's the weekend of their Cider and Cheese Festival

As it happens, I dislike cider and hate cheese, but it's very popular with everybody else
