My friend wishes that he could show you the picture of his friend in her Hallowe'en costume that he has on his phone, but he'd probably be sin binned if he did. The look was Nurse-Serial Killer, with some assistance from Agent Provocateur and Hello Kitty in the costuming.

Well that trumps a pretty blond waitress

My friend answered the door last night to be confronted by a small skeleton. The horror of such a sight was however mitigated as said skeleton was wearing unicorn slippers smile

Hahaha I am currently waiting for my grand niece to get a touch older before I start a campaign to convince her that rainbows are unicorn farts.

As someone similarly pointed-out upthread, we don't give a fk what you're up to, it's your friend we're interested-in.

GPWM my friend says his friend is an arse to forget thread etiquette.

My friend ordered some M5 set screws yesterday to fix a minor DIY issue around the house.

His wife is pretty happy that this can now be resolved.

My friend is on the fence about whether he would rather have had lego and an unhappy wife.....

Your friend should be pleased with his wife's reaction to the delivery being nearly two hours late

If it is the Liebherr 9800 excavator then my friend is very envious- my friend had been toying with the idea of getting this but realised he had too many boxes of unbuilt Lego already.
If your friend’s wife should say “it’s me or the Lego” then your friend should at least feign a moment’s thought before siding with the Lego...

My friend builds model aeroplanes, it's a hobby that as well as being rewarding is not that expensive so my friend's wife doesn't mind.

My friend also enjoys buying things.

My friend reckons that the build to buy ratio is currently running at 'Build one buy two' and thinks this may not be sustainable in the long run!

My friend is annoyed because delivery was 24 hours early!!!

Deliberately scheduled for Monday too avoid the other half seeing the delivery.

Your friend should investigate the Amazon drop-off locker. My friend has one within walking distance and finds it very "convenient" in more ways than one. wink

My friend regrets his miscalculation. He claims that it is due to the lingering effects of the change from BST to GMT, which means that he is uncertain whether or not he has lost a whole hour from his life frown

You were granted a whole extra hour but....

My friend's mojo is all over the place at the moment due to his ever shifting shift pattern, and is of the opinion that 'the weekend' has been well and truly merged with 'Monday to Friday' by some unseen minion in a far away place whilst he wasn't looking. Tonight my friend will visit Crewe and London before retiring to his Warwickshire based boudoir, passing through his home town in the process. My friend just wants to sleep.

My friend is shocked at how much stuff he has purchased via Amazon since January, a haul which includes forty six car books. My friend is acutely aware of his addiction and may well seek the appropriate help, once he has had an other quick shuftie at the items pending in his shopping basket. My friend's attempt at distracting his other half's attention away from said Amazon shopping basket by shouting ''ooh look a squirrel'' was met with puzzlement, a lack of humour and 'the look'. My friend might have to obtain nefarious garments and accoutrements from Agent Provocateur at some stage in the very near future in order to placate matters domestic.

Try also Tallulah in Islington, and Coco de Mer in Seven Dials. Both have sales websites. Ag Prov have gone a bit silly on pricing, although the products look very good when worn, especially by a lady who goes to the gym a bit.

I'll pass that on to my friend, thanks. My friend's other half prefers gin to the gym!

My friend is willing to assist your friend by suggesting that your friend purchase a pack of plastic boxes of about 20-25 litre capacity from a well known high street store. He can then leave them in a prominent position in his residence to show how many car books he has 'cleared out' He will then not only find that his other half will be sufficiently pleased to avoid the need to purchase any garments of the type suggested, but he will still have the funds to buy further car books for his collection.

Disclaimer - my friend was once a Management Consultant and therefore his expertise is limited to making suggestions rather than implementing them.
