Today I acquired...........

[Ton-up]

I went into a Mc Wotsits many years ago & vowed never to venture in again! It was the only place open at the time & I didn't want to go hungry. I queued for a burger, joined another queue for the fries, can't call them chips!, queued again for a coffee, I can only liken it to buying food from Argos, by the time I was sorted the first bit had gone cold. I said never to go in one again, although I understand it's different now, but they have had they're chance!

I was exactly the same, but 3 weeks ago was taken into one by my boss when out and about. I was pleasantly surprised by the wraps I had, they were really nice. (still didn't like the fries and coffee though)

Was he getting close to his expenses allocation? Although, I suppose they're not particularly cheap?

I will admit to sitting outside & using their internet when we are on holiday. I think they have had to up their game a bit since I was in there. I also object to their "bribing" of children with the toys that they did at one time.

buildings sites or house rip outs your cup tends to end up full of crap so you really dont bother when its stained in the cup just every now and again it gets cleaned up

so like i said my cup is stained whilst richards cup was clean

When I worked offshore my cup looked like that. Some of the computer nerd types kidnapped it one day, scrubbed it squeaky clean and left me a ‘ransom note’ telling me to go to the instrument room the retrieve it.

They had some idea I would be livid, heartbroken, disgusted...because they had dared to wash all the flavour out.

I went in, collected it, said “oh thanks, it’s clean again” and walked out.

They were disappointed.

Christ, that's shocking. End of each day, wet a scouring sponge, pop some washing up liquid on the scourer & scrub. I never let our mugs get mucky when we worked on sites or elsewhere. As someone else said, that's fit for the bin.

try citric acid

A hammer would probably be the best option for that mug.

I can’t imagine which one you went into, or where, or when, since my first visit in 1980 MacDo has sold meals, with everything arriving on one tray or packet.

Today I got some brownies points from Mrs TYA.
I did something funny and almost cute.
I sent this picture to her.



But, I soon lost any points I got.


Mrs TYA: Is that another new vice on your table?

Me: No. It is not.

Mrs TYA: It looks like a new vice.

Me: It is not new, it is very old, over 50 years old.

Mrs TYA: What is it doing there?

Me: Guarding you from evil tool hating aliens from outer space.

Click.

Oh no What's happened?

 

[Hood]

No idea really, heard him jump the gate at 6 in the morning so went to give him a telling off and I found him looking sorry for himself standing at the gate to get back in. Can only assume he was chasing a cat and got his leg caught in the gate as he jumped over, he never made a sound though which surprised me. Result is he has ripped the ligaments apart in his lower leg and now needs some plates screwed in to fuse the bones.
I am hopefully insured but I know how insurance companies try to wriggle out of things.

 

[Hood]

Best bit is he had to get a small op 2 weeks ago because he had ripped his dew claw round in the socket, at least that was only £170

 

[eSCHEn]

Gah that is a horrible one when you aren't totally sure what happened. Poor wee sod!

Being little ratters, ours have de-gloved a nail on more than one occasion. Very sore for the poor things when they hurt a nail

from here for him (and you cowboy).

Is that a hug or is it you telling me the size of the envelope stuffed with cash you have just posted off to me?

Pound notes are still legal right?
