Hello, washing up apparatus.

Wavey wave.

How are you?

[BrilloPad]

We've just got back from the local Chinese buffet.

Perhaps not the usual wedding anniversary outing for a contractor but we're too tired to go somewhere posh.

How long have you been married? Did you get her a present?

[RichardCranium]

How are you?

Full of Chinese food.

How long have you been married? Did you get her a present?

13 years one month and one day.

Same present as always: nothing.

We would have gone to a posh restaurant in the town; I had booked a table.

We were going to take champagne and so I phoned and asked how much they charge for corkage. They said ... £9.50 !

So I cancelled the booking.

Not even the opportunity to do some ironing.

It cost them a booking.

It does seem alot - maybe they had other bookings who they figured would each buy wine?

I rarely drink so most restaurants lose from me. Mineral water mostly.
