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

[bobo the clown]

Happy ? Well it made e laugh and it's a new tale to tell ... & he's posted this on his facebook, so no secrets being dished out ; -

#2 son came home for a long weekend. Always a pleasure, he's funny and lively and he's an excuse to go to a coupe of places. He's now 3 years at Uni and a year working since he regularly lived here so it's a semi novelty.

His room is at the front and he's a strange sleeper. He wakes easily but is often in a semi-trance when he's woken. On a separate tack .... but related by this tale. We still get milk delivered by a milkie. I know it's more costly but it's convenient and something British to hold onto.

So, while he slept the milkman arrived. I had no idea but he delivers, it seems, as a stupidly early time ... 2.30am !!

Son is woken by a combination of the guy's van stopping, him shifting some bottles around before coming down our path with a torch on and exchanging full for empty bottles. The security lights came on when he broke the beam.

Son is woken. In a 'strange' bed, 'strange' room. Noise outside. Person walking down the drive, with a torch. He dashes up, switches on lots of light, bangs on a couple of windows, picks up a candlestick and dashes out into the drive/garden shouting "burglar, burglar !" waving a brass candlestick as he runs at the fleeing milkman who's shouting "I'm the milkman, I'm just the milkman !"

Fortunately he stopped before reaching the milkman or it could well have been the quickest game of Cluedo ever ... " ... it was the son, in the drive, with the candlestick !"

[Always hopeful]

Well, he delivered milk again this morning ... so that's a relief.

Today I'm happy that my wife's job outside of the real world has one of those unique days that are to be found only within her profession - today is an insect day.

If only John Major had focused on the real British things like this, instead of Nuns on bikes and flat beer, we'd never have had Tony Blair. There's a thought!

[Gary the Enfield]

I've gone back to having milk delivered. It's.......... nice.

[bobo the clown]

I've gone back to having milk delivered. It's.......... nice.

Yep. Until Missenfield chases one away with a candlestick at 2.30am.

Not.a chance of Little Miss Enfield being awakened by anything less than Armageddon

Passed my first Masters degree assignment and my last CBT Diploma workpiece on the same day. I'm well chuffed- I'm not what you'd call an academic. Only another five units and a 15k word dissertation left to do. Bugger.

[KeyserSoze]

Well done mate!

You CAN use some words more than once btw. I hope they've told you that.

[Bijou Bob]

They've also told me that random words aren't acceptable. That's plan A gone then.

I sent a ranty e-mail to Virgin Trains about they're fecking new toilets, and they're stupid website, and how they're wasting money on gimmicks instead of acting like a proper business and making savings which are passed on to the customer which was the whole point of privatisation in the first place.

They've sent me a voucher for £20 .

I'm tempted to send it back pointing out that it's an example of exactly the sort of stupid fecking shit that I was on about. Stop trying to make me like you; be better at trains.

Well it gets better.

They sent the letter and voucher to the rents address, and they've forwarded it down to me.

The gist of it is, 'We've had so many complaints that we can't cope with them all, so whatever happened, we're very sorry, and here's a £20 voucher'.

So is this the efficiency of the private sector that justifies privatisation?

Brilliant, surely?
