Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 26)

[DickyC]

So why the pantomime? Why the acceptance of my requests and the volunteering of extra work if there was never any intention of doing any of it? Was it because, to them, despite everything that was agreed, it was just another job? "Tell him what he wants to hear, get the car in, get the job done, get the money in the till."

I wonder what the magic words are to get a job done the way you want rather than the way they want?

[DickyC]

There was quite a lot of thread kill goo under there as well.

[DickyC]

Well, it's taken a long but at last there is a follow up album.



Looking forward to hearing it.

[DickyC]

It's his hair. I liked the title of the album so much I had to buy it.

And that has to be the stupidest reason ever to buy an album. It has one good track on it and he didn't write it. The one good track - IMO - is I Want A Drink, all one minute forty five seconds of it.

[DickyC]

There will come a day when I'm too old to do this.

I should really be asleep. It's like a contradiction of a that is holy getting up at this time.

My favourite Bombay Mix is from the health food shop. It's not healthy. I just like it.

"Excuse me, can you tell me why this Bombay Mix is half the price of this Bombay Mix?"
"It doesn't have as many raisons."
"Really? Is that it?"
"It's hotter."
"Okay. I'll take both."
"Thank you. I'll ring them up for you."
"They've come up as the same price."
"Yes."
"They're the same aren't they?"
"I don't know."

The bloke in the filling station in Barry where I buy the office milk on a Monday said the 10p I gave him in a pile of change wasn't a 10p. I didn't have my glasses and had to believe him. I'll go and get it. It's in the cubby hole with my stash of Euros.

[DickyC]

That's the cubby hole behind the hand brake.

[DickyC]

Beside the handbrake, it turns out.

The rogue 10p is in fact a quarter US Dollar; 25cents is worth 16p at current exchange rates. He could have palmed it for himself and made a killing.

Anyone going to the States? It's yours.

[DickyC]

It's a 2008 New Mexico special edition, worth roughly 25 cents in mint condition.

Please feel free to chip in at any time.

[DickyC]

A dollar you say?

We could trade things on here for money.

My colleagues thank you for reminding me of something else to whistle.

I'm old school drawing office where chaps sing and whistle. It's not encouraged in computer aided drawing offices but I can't help it. Added to that I've recently had my fifth lot of orthodontics removed. The brace prevented me whistling and I just made inadvertent farty noises when I forgot I couldn't whistle. I have a lot of whistling to catch up on.

[DickyC]

It's always beer o'clock somewhere.

[DickyC]

And excellent news to celebrate.

[DickyC]

Oh, don't be such a girl.

Sorry, iva. For a moment there I thought I was in the sexism thread.

That would be okay, yeah?

[DickyC]

There are new countries?

That's 'country squire'

19's are for posers. And people that love to pretend, and try really hard to convince everyone, that they're "landed gentry" and not "failed students sponging of their parents"

I've just looked at the Reaction Forecast on TT TV. Apparently we're in for a Calm and Quiet Afternoon if there are lectures but if there are no lectures it will be a Bumpy Afternoon with Frequent Loudness.

[DickyC]

And Capital Letters, many of them BOLD.
