Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 28)
Discussion
Drove to the auction today with Old Peter. He's a bachelor of pension age who likes to help out occasionally. He lives in digs and is at war with his landlady who thinks he takes advantage of them.
"We'll, I suppose I have got three cars. I'm selling one though."
He paused and then added.
"And four tractors. I had one when I moved in but bought three more. Classics, not modern."
There was another pause.
"And two stationary engines. I take them to shows."
There was yet another pause.
"And a lorry. It's a Crossley. It's very rare. I've been told it's the only one like it."
The woman is a saint if I'm any judge.

My 'bag for life' has developed a hole. My lunchtime sandwich was poking through. I've only had the bag 3 months! Whose life are they basing it on?
Can I sue for misrepresentation? Hmm... maybe I should move this to SP&L?
Edited so as not to fall foul of the Naming & Shaming policy.

There was a bloke in Aldi last night whose 'bag for life' had the same problem and started leaking. They made a quick exit. Can I sue for misrepresentation? Hmm... maybe I should move this to SP&L?
Horrible.

In trivial news, I have an engineering degree now. A first class one, as it happens.

Well done sunshine.
BTW - it seems like we're doing DDs on 27/7 in Remembrance of DMN, I'll keep you all updated.

Thanks Dicky and others.
I'm going to hopefully do an MSc in Biomedical Engineering and then work in prosthetics R&D. That's the dream anyway
Mate, I can't tell you how cuffed I am. For you to be able to turn something so life-changingly awful into a force for good is off-the-scale admirable.I'm going to hopefully do an MSc in Biomedical Engineering and then work in prosthetics R&D. That's the dream anyway
