Tell us something really trivial about your life (vol 25)
Discussion
As I mooched along the high street this afternoon there was a 1976 denim blue Rolls Royce Silver Shadow squeezing into an impossibly small parking space between a 3 Series and a Ka. The car itself wasn't exactly a pristine showroom example and had an obvious blowing exhaust, but it didn't seem to dampen the driver's enthusiasm as he carried out the manoeuvre. As he somewhat deftly reversed in, with the power steering pump screaming in protest at the request for full lock, I could hear the chap singing along to his radiogram which was making a fine reproduction of "A Horse With No Name".
I was tempted to join in with the "La Laa La" bit.

Driving home I put my iPod on shuffle and up came Land of Confusion by Genesis. I had forgotten how much I like that song.
A girl at work today asked belligerently why I wear an expensive watch and what the point is. I thought everyone knew that the point was telling the time and using it as a piece of jewellery?

Travelodge gave me a used towel.
Mrs Pad and moi where enjoying a driving holiday, like yer do and decided to stop at a well known hotel company , after signing in and given your room key ,room 22 as it happens.On inspection of the room just to check everything was hunky dory I went for a shower before we went downstairs for beer and food.
The bathroom was as you expect lovely white towels all folded neatly, I proceeded to strip of and shower while she watched her soaps on the telly.
Twas a lovely power shower ,the ones that massage you and nice and hot.
When I'd had enough ,tuned to grab a lovely white towel ,shook it from it's folds to be presented with the biggest brown skid mark I'd ever seen.
Which was nice.
I didn't complain because they could have said I did it.
