OT: Spend a Penny...

May 21, 2006 80 Replies

I got very pissed one night at a 'trade do' (all 'on the house', oops! Did I really drink that much Bombay Saphire???).

The next morning I got a huge bollocking from some really bolshy and irritating French tart* for getting Stelios Haji Lmao (or whatever his bleeding name is) into such a state.

Didn't know who he was and I could swear he wasn't even in our little group anyway. Just goes to show I guess...

  • not a word I use often - but she really was one.

Mine - unless she changes her mind about making me dispose of some of my LR products she'll have to go.

bummer :(

I do feel like a bit of a cop out buying a normal house - but ive got to live somewhere and dont see the point in renting.

Ive only just started paying for it and already want to buy something different!

I did find some nice boats but was buggered if i could find a mooring with more than one parking space :(

If she came with a nice house in NZ i'll deal ;) It doesnt sound like she'd be impressed though since i have too many vehicles and dont know how i can bear to part with any of em!

I agree with the foregoing.

That's the lock-up - not the store room ;-)

I reckon Charlotte will be banging on about me clearing all of the precious things from that next, too - not that she even knows what's in there...

Yeah - but as things go, Mr Brown and his henchmen get their claws in so quick and so deep that one needs to pay him and his gangsters before the rest of the estate is settled.

I've found the moorings with more parking space than you could shake a brace of Stalwarts at - and at less than a Grand a year - sadly they're nowhere near anywhere I'd like to live :-(

Not round stoke on trent/cheshire way by any chance?

Coincidentally, this landed in the bit bucket today ....

The Husband Store ==================

A store that sells husbands has just opened, where a woman may go to choose a husband.

Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch... you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to The Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but she feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous and help with the housework. "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but her suspense and curiosity get the best of her and she continues on to the sixth floor.

She gets to the 6th floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - "You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor is here to simply prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at The Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!"

5 out of 6 ain't bad :-)

Young lad over the road came home very proud that he'd got a part in the school play - the part of the husband. His dad immediately called the school to complain that he hasn't got a speaking part...

While I share your feelings on this, allow me to assert that nobody in this current administration knows the slightest about communism, neo or otherwise.

If you only knew a small part of my dealings with Mr Browns department over the past two years you'd know that they're far closer to the German administration of the late 1930s that could ever otherwise be believed.

No, that'd be too easy. There's a very good mooring on the Coventry canal though - comes with its own police parking space for convenience...

It could be that little problem I had see " OT you can be sure of Shell" btw the plot has thickened somewhat I finally recieved my replacement "Hole int' wall" card thursday popped down the local offy tonite for a case of rocket fuel and FFS the pin doesnt work and I haven't been issued a new one I am one postal delivery and a short chat away from going ballistic and remember its a feckin bank holiday weekend so I am doubly less than impressed. The lass at our offy tells me it was our local shell garage pulling the pin and chip scam and they have been royally knicked I have to wonder if they have spare kneecaps? as there are a few locals who if pushed into it, may want the ones they have for souvenirs. Derek btw don't I always have a contingency in case of just such an occurence so I am not short of a shilling but I don't take well to being pissed about.

May be one up at the British Legion Marple if my mother is able to get Karenina out of the water and the hull replated looks like being the end of the season tho'. I 'm up there saturday to see the new tub 'Destiny' if its handy for you I can ask and for across the water as well be warned tho its a cheap beer place so you may not want it? Derek Derek

Fed up as you are - this comment was totally approriate for this thread :-)

May I suggest anyone who _is_ short of a Shilling buy 12 of the Pennies (that'll confuse the youngsters!)

Bit far away for me, and i now own a house! (for as long as i can cope with paying for both that and the fleet anyhow!)

Relisted - sort of. Nearly getting the hang of eBay :-)
