Today I'm happy about......

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Today I'm deliriously happy and proper chuffed with myself for having taken the opportunity to reply to an email thus:

'Hi Ina

Are you having a laugh?'

I hope it was important Bruce.

I've taken to replying to emails from current bosses in a most flippant manner, for the simple expedient they are f*cking idiots 99.999% of the time. That is when they're not asking me to send the content of the conversation we're having in an email. To which I say "no, I'm actually telling you now".

My boss once came up with yet another hair brained, laughably stupid idea and it got my very best "stunned look".

He looked at me & said "I now you think I'm an idiot ...". I guess the correct response would have been something like "oh ... no, no ... nooooo, not at all ..." rather than "well, at least that's established".

Welcome to the Patriarch/ Godfather club Will. I have two great-grandchildren, one of each species. Makes me feel old, but what the hell, I am. Best thing about it is, at family gatherings they pop you in a chair and wait on you hand and foot. Grand being the Codfather. :lol:

Congratulations, Will. I don't even have grandchildren so I guess I'm still young!

She's Danish and living in Denmark, so I doubt it. See what happens when Google can't help you? ;)

The same thing that happens if and when it does help! I actually went out with a girl called Ina in the 1960s but she was Romanian, but the pun never occurred to me back then.

Good luck, WW. Not Mrs WW sounded a little stressed last week and I guess the safety valve blew. Now if only ex Mrs WW would move to New Jersey....

Cheers Monty, shes a total nut job in all honesty which actually explains why we still dont live together after 2 and 1/2 years together. I hope ex Mrs WW doesnt move to New Jersey as my best mate lives there and that would ruin the trip to see him that im hoping to take next year :lol:
maybe Venezuela would be a better place for her.

I se the IRA have agreed to allow women to join them.

Good for this. Not before time if you ask me. Women should be allowed to be terrorists too !!

Well, obviously once the vote's been taken. You can't act another resolution till you've voted on it...
