I'm looking at buying a third car, but I can only fit 2 behind the gate on the driveway. Looks like I'll have to sacrifice one to be parked on the outside.
Why not put one in the garage? Due to staff being on holiday/ill/malingering, I ventured down to the kitchens the other evening, as I was feeling rather peckish. Once I located them, I decided to cook myself some cheese on toast, a particular favourite of mine. What could go wrong? I placed the bread and a slice of processed cheese (a guilty pleasure) in the toaster and depressed the lever. However: as soon as the element got hot, all the cheese melted and slid to the bottom. I made a few more attempts, but with the same outcome, the toaster eventually resembling some sort of budget Fondue set. Am I missing something, or shall I best leave these things to the staff?

You want something describing itself as Toastie Pockets, available at all good supermarkets. They make the toast taste funny so I don't like them.marmitemania said:
FML It's no good picking up on "A aviary" when you asked. What public school did you go to? It's which, which public school did you go to?
As I was writing I was debating in my mind the vagaries of "An Aviary" and "A Haviary" and it all went downhill so quickly from there.DickyC said:
Not me this time but I know a chap who is finding his feet after being widowed last year. He and his wife had an apartment in London with a rather bashed up Ford Focus and a house in the country with a cossetted Jaguar saloon. If they were in the country, they could drive to town in the Jaguar. If they were in town, they could drive to the country in the Focus. If one was in one place and the other in the other place, there was always a car available. Now on his own, he has achieved a long standing ambition and bought a Bentley S3, circa 1963. It's a disaster. Where to keep the Bentley? The system worked up over so many years only works with even numbers. Now he has an even number of properties and an odd number of cars, the system fails. He keeps finding himself in the wrong place with the wrong car.
He'll have to buy a house at the sea. It's the only answer.
Ah yes, I think I remember this one from school. He has a Focus, a Jag and a Bentley, right? Now, let me see...He'll have to buy a house at the sea. It's the only answer.
If he takes the Bentley, then the Jag will eat the Focus before he gets back, won't it? So that one's out. Well, my next thought would be to take the Focus to keep it safe from the Jag...but then the Jag is in danger of getting eaten by the Bentley...
Hmm...let me get back to you.
To buck the trend of people thinking that FWP means pretending to be posh or rich, may I present to you what I believe epitomises FWP and also being British.
my regular hair cuttist was on holiday, so someone else cut my hair and they made a far better job of it. Now I have to either handle the awkwardness of the original seeing that I have 'dumped' them when I go in in future to use the new stylist, or more likely (here's the british bit) put up with receiving less optimal haircuts in order to avoid the awkwardness.
