Good news thread..

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I'm not too sure now why I'm posting this bit of bad news in the good news thread, but hey ho, here we go, and all that. The thing is that I have a feeling of failure. And it's all because of this;

 

Why oh why didn't I think of setting up that educational establishment and then successfully franchise it out? I'm so skilled in this area, it would have been a cinch.  Sometimes pretending to fly is all that I've got left in my armoury of 'things' to deal with life itself. 

I know that it's considered vulgar in polite society to 'blow one's own trumpet', but my pretending to fly CV is second to none. I've got a big tick next to loads of pretending to fly boxes, such as ' Is the pretender any good at take offs'? Well, there's a big huge red tick next to that box on my 'Pretending to fly' certificate scroll. That and loads of other big red ticks too. So, na, na, na, na, naah!

Thanks! Not a wedding anniversary but the anniversary of the date we first met, when we were sweet sixteen! 

Congratulations! 

 

But how oh how did you remember the date!!! I met Pilton Digger when I was 15. I'm now ferociously old and can not remember the date. The year yes, but not the date!

Easy, we were at school and went to the Friday night cinema. Prepare to feel nauseous. The film was Love Story! (Though I cant remember the plot of the film due to snogging)

Result. Pleased for you.

I often used work in between Christmas and the New Year, as nothing got done. So I thought that I may as well get paid to do nothing. Then along came a year when it didn't work out that way. I was called out to attend to an emergency. I had to attend to a flood that was going from an empty flat on the third floor within a three story property. My contractor had only just finished creating an office area on the ground floor. The flood was from the empty flat, through a flat where the resident wasn't at home, and into the new office area below. In fact, the water was pouring into the office and over two photocopiers that were brand new and had cost £20K each. Not only them, but over some brand new computers too.

So, I've just walked in to the block of flats and people want to know what I'm going to do. And then it happened - I got a telephone call there and then. A call which was to inform me that the same bloody thing was also now happening at another building, which was also three stories high. And yes, you've guess it - the leak was from a top floor flat, through the second floor flat, and into a communal lounge area. I found out that this one had started when a resident had left a tap running in her washbasin, and then had left her place to go and spend her Xmas with her family. The resident of the flat below this one had been out, had come back to see her flat flooded and raised the alarm. And then I had been called to sort that out too.

I did sort it all out, but nearly had a brain haemorrhage doing so.

Good to hear that, I’ve always got sympathy for those working so hard in retail before during and after Xmas, especially with everyone else trying to enjoy themselves!

Hello guy,

Please help me out. I'm having trouble interpreting your post above. I can see one way it could be interpreted, but the notion of that being the case doesn't sit well with me, because it's a not so nice thing. Sorry for this request for clarification. I've had a smoke, so things are a little topsy turvey for me.

The pain of putting that tree up will build you up and make you stronger. Remember you've got to be match fit come the day and you have to deal with listening to the jokes from inside Christmas crackers.

Won two tickets to see Lionel Richie in Belfast yesterday! Early June date so fingers crossed it goes ahead.

Haven't seen him before but watched his Glastonbury set during the BBC coverage last June and it was great.
