Yeah, but you would have been A SPY!!!
I'm happy to admit when I pick my mum up when she flys back from Spain I'm quite often found with a placard with various stupid things written on it, including but not limited to, "It's no good denying it you are my mum!!!!" "I've been here 12 weeks waiting after you said you were popping down the shops!" "Did you manage to hide it in your underwear?" And I once turned up dressed as a monk and walked around blessing people!!!!

In your eyes/imagination maybe.

In mine I would have looked a complete tt!!

Standing there with an idiot board with the name of someone you're meeting is bad enough, thankfully I do that very infrequently, but if I went as a Monk I think I'd be strapping on a P45 when back at the office!!

I've just had a mishap in the kitchen, dropped my last apple donut in the old dog's water bowl. Bugger.

Dressed as a monk?

I got back to the fridge freezer lights blinking. Couldn’t get them to stop.
Fridge freezer out (& broke the kitchen unit). Bust off a plastic cover to the pump thing. Hit it with the nearest hammer like thing - coke can - punctured the can in doing so and sprayed half the kitchen.
Put it back in place and turned on. Lights still blinking. Googled new fridge freezers. Thought fk it there’s another £600 gone.
Mrs P comes back and asks why the kitchen floor is covered with coke. I explain.

She says:

‘They always blink it’s the fridge getting to temperature. It’s meant to blink’

I’m left clearing up.

I clearly know and understand nothing.

I know it's not good form to laugh at others' misfortune but

Fair made my day that has, good to know I'm not the only one to suffer. There's hope for us all yet.

Have another

So let me get this straight, Bomma threw his last doughnut at the dog and Pushfit beat his fridge up with a coke can, and yet me dressing as a monk(habit, belt and sandals) causes confusion!?!?!? Mrs Bobbers reminded me of what she considers my worst one, It was early December and mum had flown back for a visit, leaving 20 degree heat to arrive to 5 degrees and pouring rain, she'd been moaning about what the weather was going to be like before she came and walked through the gate dressed In a thick coat, boots and a fake fur hat, to find me stood in shorts, flip flops, an Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses complaining about the heat!!!!

You scare me Bobbers!!

Have you seen that really handy thing that Autotrader does? Below the details of a car entered by the vendor they publish some figures for that type of car. Dead handy it is.



It's a thing they do. So you can make comparisons.

I haven't gone missing but my failure to sleep is making me lose my mind.

I just used to do it to amuse myself, until Mrs Bobbers threatened to disown me!!

That Autotrader thing is useful Dicky, but also scary when you see some of the running costs!!

Time to see the doctor Peri, lack of sleep is usually caused by stress, anxiety and depression and can lead to some very dark places, please either talk to the guys on here or preferably see your doctor. Chris

I can see that, if it had anything on it. The figures for this vee-hick-yule seem a bit lacking. It was a Tesla Model S as it happens.

Maybe it's so fast they can't measure its performance.

If 'Sir' needs to ask the cost......!.

I am concerned they can't answer the question, "How many doors does it have?" You'd think they could send a boy outside to count them.

Or 'Sir' could open his eyes?

I think it's all to do with a cunning plan by the powers that be to prove we are all equal.

[Bomma220]

That Auto Trader thing, I can understand some of the data not being available but number of doors?

Bloody hellfire, even I could manage that one without too much ado. Perhaps I'll apply to them for a position as chief door counter. I've even got a small notebook and a pencil I could take along.

ETA I'm sorry, I must have been typing this whilst Dicky was busy putting his post up. At least I'm not the only one concerned about it.

It's worse than that. Say we were in the Bar perusing the data such as it is and were to send Battert into town to the main dealers to have a scout round. Who knows what he'd come back with?

"Um fairly certain it had four doors, Your Grace. Or five. And wheels, sir. It had wheels, sir. Will that be all, sir? I have the walling of the garden and the drawbridge to attend to, sir, before evensong."

[Bomma220]

It could all become dreadfully confusing. A three wheel four door MX5?

Anyhow, Mrs B's stricken with a cold at the mo so I'm off to get a bit of shopping. There's something on the list that looks suspiciously like 'Chicken Coop'.
I'm not sure whether to assume it should read 'Chicken Soup' and get a four pack of that, or buy half a dozen fence posts and some wire mesh?

[DickyC]

Play safe, do both.

[Bomma220]

Good plan, I'll do that. No doubt it'll all come in handy for something one way or another.

And chickens, don't forget you'll need chickens for your coop!!!!
