    That is IT! I am going to systematically track each and every one of you down, break into your houses one by one, steal your passports, and then put them all on 90 degree cycle with a bladdy prewash. Then we'll see if you still think it's funny.

    I'm sure the judge will be very understanding.

    Mine is in lir's cellar. Just be careful and not trip over the hose. You don't get back up without aid, in there :eek:


    i'm not taking this seriously

    it was all her fault though, especially the second time, and i will challenge anyone who disagrees to a duel with the weapon of your choice.

    Just had a PM form mrschewy to challenge you...

    Weapon of choice: Passport

    Venue: Deep end of swimming pool


    And something about third time lucky.

    Re bullets. I aked my parents for a firearm for my b'day. Not sure how seriously they are taking it. Think more likely to get a card and a twenty ;)

    :mad:OH on a flight home (internal flight, journey time about 1 hour) and was offered £125 to wait for the next flight 80 minutes later and he said no!:mad:

    Slightly better, but not enough to compensate. I took the little car to the manned car wash, was chatting (sweetly-see previous post) to the guy in charge. It came time to pay and I had a fully stamped loyalty card so I was expecting to pay the difference between the inside+outside wash and the outside only, and the guy said I could have it free. :) So that is the 3rd thing today, things always happen in threes.

    So you work hard to save a couple of quid and DH turns his nose up at £125 for sitting reading a paper/magazine for a bit.

    I'm sure you will make him pay ;)

    I wonder if Dev was in goal :)
    A park football team is trying to come to terms with what is believed to be the biggest thrashing in British football history.
    Nova 2010 FC suffered a crushing 58-0 defeat against local rivals Wheel Power FC in the Torbay Sunday League in Devon.

    No, if you are posh you count your gardeners who inturn count the sweet peas.

    OH has a theory that if you treat people nicely you can often get them to break all sorts of rules. So his answer to any problem is to first try to sweet talk people round. Sweet talking tasks this week including an online (cheap deal) MOT booked that had to be moved to a different branch of kwikfit and the date brought forward.

    Then today I needed to load cash onto a pre-paid card but didn't have my passport with me for ID and managed to get it done with the promise that i will bring the passport in later.

    you can try to take your passport in later, but it's currently mid way through a boil-wash in my washing machine, along with wheezy's. i was too busy today to get anyone else's.
