I didn't get a rate rise and the gas bill arrives soon and a lightbulb blew yesterday.
Thanks,

Top tip: Roll your sleeves up before you pull yourself along the ground using your elbows. Works for me.

It was a particularly vile purple....
He's colourblind...
Still can't work out how purple ends up as brown with a red/green defect, but there you go.

This was a race between a Pakistani cricketer and a NZ cricketer during a test match lunch break.. Richardson the chap on the right, was mid innings.. got changed into his suit, ran the race... then went back out to bat.
He used to challenge one of the oposition to a running race every match (the opponents always chose the slowest bloke), and he never won once as he is dead slow, but then he decided to make his speed beige suit.. and beat the Pakistani.
He is now a commentator.
