The boring thread.....

[Vlad]

I was speaking to the grand daughter today and she said she had seen a deer on the way to work, innocently I asked how she knew it was going to work, I am now off her Christmas card list.

You get worse!     

(But what would we do without you).

Good morning all.   Still not quite 100%,  but getting there.

I have got someone coming in a mo,  to clean my gutters out before winter.
While he's here I hope I can get him to fix the bolt on my shed door for me too.

Oops, must dash,  he's here.

'Clean your gutters out'? Is that an intentional idiom?

No dear,  it's not.   It was meant literally.   

All done now, and a big bucket full of moss gone now.
He mended the bolt on my shed door too.  So that's two jobs done and out the way now. 

Next is,  my key safe is broken and I have just sent for a new one from Screwfix.  They are bringing it for me tomorrow.  That is good service ey.    A fiver for delivery,  but that has saved me driving today.

I vaguely remember a lady of the night in the Startled Parrot Club in Pigalle Paris saying something similar to me when I was sprawled akimbo sans clothes on her bed....

A lady of the night?  Well, I hope she had a 'clean bill of health', if you take my meaning.

I think most get regular checkups in those posh places. Maybe Vlad was moonlighting as an inspector?

[Mups]

Oh No . . .  it feels like I've got a nasty cold starting now. 
I've got a very hot, and sore throat,  and my snout is all bunged up. 
That's all I need!   

I haven't had a cold for donkeys years,  so I am pretty sure where this has come from.
When I was in the A&E Friday evening,  we were all packed in like sardines,  literally inches from the person next to you.
The old fella sitting next to me kept chatting away,  which would have been fine,  except every now and then he gave an almighty sneeze and had a coughing fit,  and he never even used a hanky! 

I remember thinking at the time,  that if I started a cold  (or worse),  I shall know where it came from!  Grrr.. . .

I've had he same in the past myself. Picked up a bug which I'm sure was during a really annoying 3 hour (iirc) wait for the results from an earlier MRI.

I dropped in here to offer yet another delivery woe.

Amazon this time. 

Apparently rather than putting my order in the damned expensive box I bought from them because they were forever dumping stuff on my step just a few yards from a busy thoroughfare they put it in a secure place which the blurry photo shows was behind a brown garden waste bin.

The trouble is I'm not sure where the bin is. I don't have one and neither did any of the nearby houses when I went up the street with a torch.

Amazon say wait 24 hours before contacting them about it. Sod that I've reordered. If it arrives before they refund then I'll return the new order. If turns up after then tough titties - I've got two.

I was young 19...my brain cell was between my legs, Christ,  those were good days 😀

That is too confusing for my pea brain, Klondy.   

Is this right - you ordered a special box to have your parcels put in.
You fixed this box on the wall behind your wheelie bin.

Now you say you have lost your bin?
Are you talking about your wheelie bin,  or your secret parcel box?
And did today's Amazon order not arrive,  and what's that got to do with the missing wheelie bin??

So you've re-ordered what?   Another post box,  another wheelie bin,  or another Amazon parcel,  whatever it was?

Am I getting worse,  or do you lead a complicated life?

Don't fret, Petal.
Have you checked in the shopping bag on your zimmer?   You might find another one in there.

I bought a parcel bin because they left stuff on the step. Now they not only missed the parcel bin which I moaned about the other day they missed the house. The photo shows it behind a brown bin. I don't have a brown bin. Nor does any nearby house have a brown bin.
