Things you'd like to say, but can't

Blimey - I thought it was probably a phone or computer, something really delicate!

I once bought a 60 cm steel rule from a company on eBay. They sent it in bubble-wrap. It arrived bent like this ... -^-

By coincidence, I ordered a used phone on eBay yesterday. I thought about this discussion and whether to ask the vendor to put it in a box or wrap it in cardboard, whatever, but decided that nobody would send a phone unprotected so it would irritate them if I mentioned it

I was just thinking again that I should have mentioned how to protect the phone in transit and 5 seconds later there was a knock at the door. It was the postman delivering the phone - in a very lightly padded Jiffy bag, with no extra bubblewrap or cardboard round the phone - aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! Oh, FFS!

Heart in mouth time ... (opens envelope) ... Phew, the phone has survived the delivery process! It looks pretty good and is now on charge.

You are going on holiday in July and both kids need new passports. You may want to get them soonen rather than later bearing in mind how late you left it getting the ones they have now, it took a long time and you stressed yourself out worrying they wouldn't turn up in time which lead to a blazing row with your other half (no change there) and not speaking for a week. Why do you have to make things so difficult for yourself?

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free. I wish I could break all the chains holding me. I wish I could say all the things that I should say.

Mr Salmond...your slightly patronising tone when being interviewed yesterday grated somewhat.

You 'reassuringly' advised us on the telly that Scotland wouldn't seek to have customs posts at the border with England (I may be slightly paraphrasing, but this was the gist), so England shouldn't worry her pretty little head (I may be making the 'pretty little head' bit up, but again, this was the tone).

You're making one hell of a mighty assumption matey. Maybe England would like customs posts with Scotland...borders have two sides and Scotland may not get to choose... you assume too much...



(I know there's a Scottish independence thread on the dark side, but my life's too short to get involved in it...)

To the Audi driver who was flashing his/her lights at me so furiously yesterday morning - thank you for alerting me to the fact that my car's back tyre was deflating!

Do you really have to leave your Pot Noodle infested trolley diagonally across the whole aisle whilst rummaging through the crisps for the flavour you want, you selfish daffodil!

 

[roadrash]

I like that, I can honestly say , that the first time ive heard the phrase.....Pot Noodle infested trolley

Mardy....such a good word

Apparently in some parts of the country people don't know what mardy means- I was told this by a teacher in the 1980's so it must be true

Is this some sort of dickheads driving festival or just a normal night in Penistone?
