Last One to Post Wins

[Mervyn and Trish]

I've copied and posted most of that ready for my trip.

[qbman1]

I hope they'll have finished banging about down below by then

[Mervyn and Trish]

If they haven't one of my lines will be "this has been going on for months now".

I'd continue to steer clear of the Euro 16 thread by the way. There is info on there you don't wish to see yet.

[qbman1]

Thanks for the warning - I don't want my life ruined again

[Mervyn and Trish]

You may have to get Mrs C to switch the TV on and select the playback mode. Otherwise sod's law is you'll switch straight on to the sports news!

[qbman1]

I'll make sure it's halfway through EastEnders or some such cobblers when I switch on

[Stephen]

Back from shopping....thank god.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Skint and alive?

[Stephen]

Not quite skint as some will be going back. Bleedin sizes are a nightmare. Just having a medicinal whisky to de-stress, well that's my excuse

[Not so ancient mariner]

So the problem is your piston broke, then?

I wonder if Cubie managed to watch the England/Wales match without knowing the score?

[Not so ancient mariner]

You can easily tell - by checking if he has any fingernails left.......!

Just about. I did know in advance that Wales were leading at half time due to an internal e-mail about some of the other branches streaming the match live and then a kindly, misguided ModPlod tipped me the wink that something would happen right at the end. Otherwise, I didn't know the score or the result. Enjoyed the Christmas songs on the way home too !

I'd already broken most of them whilst planting out the rabbit food on the allotment last weekend !

[Stephen]

I thought you were trying to get rid of them, now you laying on lunch

[qbman1]

How many bruises do you have following your helpful advice during the shopping trip yesterday ?

[Stephen]

None. Actually it went pretty well. The M&S store was pretty quiet people wise and no music assaulting my ears which was a bonus. Wouldn't dream of going at a weekend. A bit of nightmare getting out of Thurrock with road works everywhere. But all in all not a bad day. I won't be making a habit of it though.

No, once a year is penance enough

[Stephen]

Exactly. Anyway, that's what the Internet is for.

[Not so ancient mariner]

......and for esteemed groups like this one.

[qbman1]

Here I am - everybody happy ?

[Silver_Shiney]

I'm not - just checked my work email (I keep getting told off for that) to find an email from a family saying that they have seen that the museum is only open on weekdays but they're coming up anyway and would I please let them in for 15 minutes at lunchtime.

Er... no

[qbman1]

Don't you just love people ?

[Silver_Shiney]

Don't you just love people ?

Yes, preferably with a length of lead pipe....
