I thought it was going to rain on the ride home yesterday and I'd end up getting wet. But it didn't, which was nice.

It did rain here, but I was inside so also stayed dry, so that was nice too.

Anyone else have an interesting or amusing anecdote to share?

I lost my notepad. It had some important notes in it. But I went to reception, and someone had found it in a meeting room and handed it in. So that was nice.

I found a huge crisp in my packet of Walker's Cheese and Onion yesterday.

We're going to need a bit more info on this fascinating story I think.

When you say huge, how huge? In your opinion was it two crisps that had stuck together making it look like an extra think crisp? Or maybe, the potato had been sliced lengthways instead of across? If the latter, do you believe that there may in fact be more of these giant crisps in circulation? Do you still have the packet with the batch number on? It may be worth returning to the crisp vendor and trying your luck with a second packet. It's a risk I know but think about it.

Finally (and most importantly) did it break when you tried to eat it or did it fit in whole. Obviously I'm hoping it was such a whopper that it took a couple of bites otherwise I think we're going to have to downgrade your anecdote to "man finds slightly bigger crisp" which is still more interesting than the Op so don't feel bad.

Probably never would because it'd be a bit uncomfortable but still pretty nice thing to offer....

Why would it be uncomfortable if it's someone you know at least a little?

I got an unexpected room upgrade at the local Best Western. Which has a £40 rack rate around these parts.

The local gym also has free water fountain. Living the dream.

I had a dream last night about a ginger cat.

It's true actually, most boring dream I ever had. Nothing happened.

Yesterday evening I was going to catch a flight but on checking the notice board it said both "Go to gate" but also "Delayed until 21:30" which was a 45 delay. I asked the lady at the info desk and she said that it was in fact 45 mins late and that they hadn't updated the status properly. So I actually didn't have to go to the gate immediately and I had an extra 45 mins to kill. On hearing this I went back to the lounge and had another glass of wine and some more peanuts. The flight did then leave at the predicted time of 21:30 with me on it, albeit slightly heavier due to an extra glass of wine and some peanuts.

Have had some gigs where the permies are a bunch of tossers I must admit but they are good as gold at this one.

Was talking the other day about a night out. I mentioned I'd stay over in a hotel as I have done once or twice.

Anyway, one of the permies offered to let me stay at his place if I ever needed to stay over. Nice or what? Probably never would because it'd be a bit uncomfortable but still pretty nice thing to offer....

And before you ask, hes an old fella, married, lives on a farm, and his grown up kids have left home. So its not a "wake up in the night with a strange prodding in your back" before anyone says that!!!! :-)

And this is in England too! (My worse ever gig for unfriendliness was in wales)
