Popular Post AVFC_Hitz Posted August 14 Popular Post Share Posted August 14 I like these little anecdotes. I used to work at Steelhouse Lane in the finance dept. One day an officer walked in and had a query about pay and needed some documents photocopied. So he turns to the admin girl and say "Do you mind copying these for me?" "Not at all" she replies before standing up taking some lined paper and a pen and copying word for word the documents. We let her get a few sentences in before asking her what the gibbons she was doing. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted August 14 Moderator Share Posted August 14 After being out in the rain a mate of mine needed to dry a new pair of trainers quickly to wear down the Villa. He put them in the microwave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hobsons Choice Posted August 14 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 14 One of my Wife's work colleagues was nicknamed Trigger because of the almost daily hilarious but dumb stuff they would say. My Wife worked on the fifth floor of an office building that had a lift. Unbeknown to my wife thr lift was out of order. She met Trigger outside in the morning and they had the following entirely true conversation: Wife. 'I just heard the lift is broken.' Trigger. 'Well the one on the ground floor is, but I don't know about any of the other floors.' 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 14 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14 (edited) The morning before an England game at a major tournament we were allowed to wear England tops to work so we could go to the pubs after work to watch the game. My favourite England top was dirty so I washed is quickly, ironed it wet and hung it in front of the gas fire to dry. It was really wet so I put it really close to the fire as I had no time. Yep, set the bastard on fire. Edited August 14 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted August 14 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14 Me and my friends, about 35 years ago, caught a bloody big Pike and we realised it would be a hassle to carry it back. So they sent me on my moped to drive home (about 15 minutes) to get something to carry it in. I drove home, fiddled around with something and drove back and met up with my friends, realised that I had failed in my sole purpose of bringing along something to carry the pike in. Still get reminded of this from time to time, very helpful 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't go quite as well as hoped. Some bloke did a youtube video once where he made an entire meal in a hotel room just using the kettle (noodles cooked in the kettle) and iron (bacon). I'm not sure he will have got his deposit back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he will have got his deposit back. I find the trouser press, if you're lucky enough to have one, works better for bacon. The iron will be OK for a fried egg but you have to find some way to balance it upside down so that the plate lies flat. Beans you can do in a mug and then fill the sink around it with boiling water from the kettle, before poaching your sausages in there of course, and that should get them warm enough. Don't forget to bring sachets of condiments from the Wetherspoons in the airport on the journey out (assuming you're in a hotel abroad) and you should be pretty much good to go. For the black pudding just drink a few pints of Guinness before bed the night before and fish a bit of your turd out the bog. Job done, literally.

mjmooney Posted August 14 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14 I once tried to make mocha coffee in the filter machine, by mixing cocoa powder with the ground coffee. It clogged up the machine good and proper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colhint Posted August 14 Popular Post Share Posted August 14 I remember it must have been the late eighties, I was contracting in Worcestershire upgrading some systems. I get a call the finance system went kaput. I told them to reload yesterday's backup. Now I blame this on the boss not the girl. She had been asked to make a back up floppy every night and she did. The only thing was it was an actual photo copy of the disk. She had a whole cabinet full all neatly dated. 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 14 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14 My brother in law when he first moved away from home in the late 70's bought one of those boil in the bag meals that were popular in those days. Put it in the boiling water for 10 minutes. Took is out, opened the packet and then tipped what was hot powder onto his plate. Turns out he'd bought a dehydrated meal, not boil in the bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 When I was young and dumb I once put a squirt of washing up liquid into the washing machine as we’d run out of washing liquid. The kitchen floor was covered in bubbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
