The world would be a more considerate place if more people were worried about getting punched in the mouth. Yeah the Eddie Jones one was pretty cool too, geezer soon shat his pants.

Have you never heard the saying? Well, I didn't think I really needed to say it but because you want to know: - Mum is recovering from lung cancer and is finding things difficult with anxiety, for reasons see below. - Dad has come out of hospital recently after severe pneumonia. Whilst in hospital they discovered something on his kidney. - The thing on his kidney turns out to be a tumour and they don't know yet whether it is malignant or benign. Glad you asked (well it wasn't really an ask) with your laughing with tears emoji? Edited July 22, 2022 by trekka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you asked with your laughing with tears emoji? It's "Paddys things that cheer you up", didn't know it was going to be sad news, thought it was just because it's a random nice thing to do. Anyway, on a serious note, wishing good news for you and your family, I'm sure from all at VT too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, on a serious note, wishing good news for you and your family, I'm sure from all at VT too. It's completely fine! I was just cheered up knowing that I did a random thing to surprise them (I've been seeing them a lot lately) so it is unexpected and will hopefully cheer them up. It cheers me up knowing I've sent it to them to err hopefully cheer them up . I wasn't intending to go into detail and I may have been a bit sensitive on my response but your wishes are appreciated. All will be well. EDIT: Now go VT. Back to cheerier things! Edited July 22, 2022 by trekka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 23, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 23, 2022 Bizarre scenes in our house this morning... Knock at the door, an unexpected parcel, it's clinking but it's addressed to me and the missus but with her surname which usually indicates its off her brother or sister My immediate thought is *shit have I forgotten her Birthday?* - nope Anyway, as it's obviously from the missus family, I hand it over to her to open after razor blading the packing tape for her 6 bottles of beer The missus isn't really a beer drinker She just turned the box upside down and littered to floor with polystyrene packing flumps in the hope there at least a packet or artisan crisps in there nope So now we don't know who sent it and why they sent beer. There absolutely no way its her sister IMO because she can't manage to remember birthdays let alone be sending random gifts, especially one thats more for me Certainly had me chuckling and the missus fuming 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 23, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 23, 2022 The package gets more strange It has a gift note on it with a personal message. It just says "Because..." We're now even more mystified as it's not really the behaviour of either of her siblings Anyway, free beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 As I said in the other thread I had an emergency meeting in Bristol so had to fly out, the meeting was yesterday, was originally booked for today but that all got cancelled cos the big boss had something else on, my flight Monday got cancelled so me and a woman in the office had to run round and reschedule everything because I wasn't allowed to miss it the meeting was too important, then lufthansa went on strike so the day long really important meeting got knocked down to 4 hours long Hard to believe this isn't in the piss me off thread... But then as I found out yesterday during the meeting because of all the mad scrambling round they only booked my line manager, who's a massive clearing in the woods and I can only assume got his job via a winning raffle ticket, a one way flight he had to organise getting home himself resulting in him taking a bus to Heathrow this morning fly to Amsterdam and then get a train to cologne today which is probably the most ass about tit way to get home and sums him up perfectly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rjw63 Posted July 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2022 Spotted an album I need for my collection on ebay, ten quid starting price or make an offer. I offered £20, the offer wasn't rejected but just ignored. Seven days later as the seconds count down I bang £40 on the record. I won it for £16 Should have taken the twenty mate! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
