Oh was swearing as he combed the flat for cufflinks this am - he claims all his are odd ones, and the pairs are presumably with all Isaac's missing half-pairs of socks.
So I'm going to take my silver clay to Kent, and make him some over the weekend.
I lent him some of mine this morning, but he thought they were a bit too girly. He resisted, though, when I tried to grab them back again!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I don't think I've ever seen a woman wearing cufflinks except one or two that are lesbian (absolutely not an insult about butch lesbians or some such twaddle, a statement of fact).
I suppose I might have in court now I think of it. I used to go with a friend to watch the appeals on the Strand/Fleet Street and perhaps the women barristers and judges were wearing cufflinks.
Taking the logic a step further, perhaps they were all lesbian which is why they were wearing cufflinks. It seems unlikely but you never know.
Who knows, perhaps everyone in the legal profession is a lesbian including the men. That's why they wear cufflinks. That would make me a lesbian 2 days out of 5 in the week but never at the weekend except for a wedding.
That means I must have had the first gay marriage in the UK, or would have if Mrs Generali had been wearing cufflinks too.0 -

You went to the Royal Courts of Justice, in the Strand? That's where I was today, at the High Court, doing 2 x permission hearings for judicial review.
Women barristers do wear cufflinks quite a lot, and not all of them are lesbians.
OH certainly appears to fancy women rather than men, in my experience, so perhaps he is a lesbian in a man's body? Who knows?
If you look at legal clothes shops such as T M Lewin, a lot (but not all) of their women's shirts are for cufflinks, not buttons.

Not good, is there not a friend you could ask instead?
?!
The friends I most usually ask find that their hardest day to take off. Both would, but I don't want to ask.
. One of them also has shingles. I don't think a hospital is a great place for them to be, for themselves or others! The third friend I might ask who is really lovely is available but she is also a bit.....hysterical. And a smoker. I might find the smoke afterwards a bit much and the hysterics before frustrating. Though would force me to behave:D
Dh would take the day off, I just don't want to waste it. What he would do is take one side of the week off around the day, and then it would be wasted time IYSWIM.
Anyway. I am calm. ATM.
Worst comes to worst I'll suggest parent goes shopping or something.0 -

This appt is mid week and I don't want to waste dh's holiday time on a mid week appt. parent is already winding me up about it. Grrrr. It would be so much easier if I could drive afterwards, even though I 'd still rather dh were there.
Is it a reasonable taxi distance, or taxi-plus-train?
Could you ask a mate?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Haven't ordered anything from them in well over a month now thanks to this diet, and the text/email offers are getting ever more frequent and desperate sounding.
They must expect some regional variations in their business. Whilst, obviously, trade is down very, very substantially in Aberdeen, somebody elsewhere in the country has probably fallen off their diet.
I have not been very good recently, but that has not helped Pizza Hut. I had some Churros - pure calories with chocolate sauce added. Really, really bad!
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

It's amazing really. Lesbians apparently aren't so prominent in society but at soon as you apply a little logic, well over half the population are lesbian.
I reckon we should have a lesbometer going. 1-10 on a scale. I'd put Prince Philip at about an 8, albeit in the closet. Maggie Thatcher perhaps a 2 (can't recall any cufflink link there). My mate Davo sometimes wears cufflinks on the weekend and he's married 2 women so far. He must be a 9.7 or something.0 -

No, getting there would be fine, its getting home that would be a problem. I need to do that in a car, door to door.
Anyway, I have told parent now. That's the worst bit I hope. I am sure it will all be fine. 0 -

I can assure you there's at least 2 pizza store managers who will not be getting their bonus this year.:)I have not been very good recently, but that has not helped Pizza Hut. I had some Churros, for example - pure calories with chocolate sauce added. Really, really bad!
Mmmmm, Churros.... :EasterBun

Too expensive
It's part of your research and development budget. Every human needs to have one. Otherwise, you live a life where you eat the same meals forever.
Actually, the entire point of research & development is that around 80% of the time it will be a failure, but the 20% where it works you have learned something worth knowing.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
