Re: General Chit Chat
Not long back the wife's shifts changed and home working at our place was restricted, which meant we had to make arrangements to look after the dog Thursdays & Fridays so he wasn't left at home on his own all day.
Fortunately, a bloke we know quite well, who does dog boarding at his house, also does a dog walking service. £8 for an hour, and for the last few weeks it's worked really well. Then yesterday on coming home, Mrs G noticed the house smelt a bit dungy. She cleans up and goes out to the bin and sees a carrier bag full of dog mess, kitchen rolls & cleaning cloths. Turned out that when chap came to pick dog up, he found that the dog had done some form of dirty protest all over the laminate floor. He ended up cleaning up then taking him out for his walk.
I rang him to apologize and thank him for going the extra mile although I dont suppose he could really leave it and pretend not to have noticed.
Get home today and it's happened again
Trip to the vets and a gift for the dog walker/cleaner is in order I think

Are you sure he's not trying to frame the dog?

Re: General Chit Chat
A colleague of mine has a meteorology degree that is presently languishing unused. He went over to the States last week on a storm-chaser holiday. It was very quiet on the tornado front. There were a couple in Texas that he missed and not much else happening. As a last throw of the dice they moved to Oklahoma and were based just outside Moore. They saw not a thing, diddly squat. He flew back on Monday. He had no idea when he came into work this morning what he had just managed to avoid as he hadn't seen the news. He's spent most of this morning on the phone trying to speak to the storm chaser unit he was out with - they got the full Monty on film, including one of the trucks wrecked and one driver with a broken arm. He was mightily disappointed he wasn't there. It takes all sorts to make a world. 

That's not a leopard!

Re: General Chit Chat
My friend and neighbour is a Stoke City fan. Have met her amazing Mum before when I went up to watch Arsenal play Stoke. She's 93 and goes to every Stoke game, home and away, even when they were playing in Europe. Anyway, she had a bit of an accident at the weekend but she's still a bit of an inspiration to me. I'd love to be following Arsenal home and away on my pension in many years time...

Re: General Chit Chat
It's all kicking off here! I went outside for a smook earlier and heard a commotion in next door's, a woman shouting at the top of her voice 'You f*cked another woman in our bed! In our lounge and in our f*cking bed'. Well she's now throwing rubbish at their front door screaming 'You got another one pregnant you f*cking c*nt c*nt'.

Excrllent Pru. I'm sure the illicit shagging goes on round here but they would never stoop to screaming matches. So uncouth.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Yes, it does. Fanny is your bottom in North America while I suspect in England it is a little more forward and of the feminine gender.William the White wrote:An underwear shop in California called 'Fanny Wrappers'...

Why is it that my cat decides when I have just got out the bath and sat down, clad only in a towel, that its a good time to jump on my lap and knead my bare skin? Ow

Re: General Chit Chat
Just been invited to a wedding by a colleague.
This has never happened to me before. Though I do find it quite odd. Mainly for the following reasons:
1) I've only been working with her for four months
2) I don't know what she looks like as we've only ever communicated via email
3) She lives and works in India, which is where the wedding is taking place
