Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

Confession time....



Sometimes, I tickle the inside if my nose to make myself sneeze. I love sneezing.


What's your guilty secret?

OMG - I do that too - thought I was the only person in the world!

3: Put my boots on, go outside, walk to the portacabin, get some fresh milk from the fridge in there, walk back, take my boots off....

I reckon it has to be this one

Me to doctor: "I've got a bad back"

Doctor: "It's old age" 

You: "That can't be the reason - my arm's the same age and there's nothing wrong with that."

[jakally]

I've just made myself a cup of tea, only to discover that there is no milk in the fridge.

I now have 4 options.

1: Drink it without milk.

2 Use long-life milk

3: Put my boots on, go outside, walk to the portacabin, get some fresh milk from the fridge in there, walk back, take my boots off....

4: Forget about the tea. (Not really an option)

Most probably ;

5. Wake Mrs Red and explain the situation whilst handing to her a pair of boots.


BTW, did you know that you are 383 times more likely to get a bad back if you are overweight.

Wake Mrs Red? Are you kidding? I'd rather wake a sleeping pit bull by treading on it's cobblers.

I'm trapped in the lottery.

When the lottery first started, we 5 siblings formed a syndicate. £2 each pw.

About a fortnight later, I realised just how minuscule our chances of winning were, and decided to opt out. That's when I found out that I wasn't allowed to.

Reason: "If you stop, your numbers will come up next week, and what's more, if we win it without you, you will get a share anyway, so why should you get a free ride?"

So here I am, 15 years later, still paying £2pw, begrudging every penny.

Mrs Red buys the tickets.

Once every 5 weeks, when she buys the new ones, she takes the old lot down to the shop to be scanned. Every now and then, (Not often) The bloke will say "Yep, you've won a tenner on this one"

How do we know it's not ten million? He could be bunging us a tenner, and keeping £9999990 for himself.

If you do it on line Tom they automatically check them for you, I buy as far ahead as I can then just leave it (8 weeks I think).

I managed to break free from those shackles by only playing when it's a rollover.

Ralph. You're such an angle shooter.

How's the back this morning?  You've not mentioned it yet.

My knee is worse, if that helps?

Tom - the Lottery, which costs you £2 a week. (Worry not, 68p of that goes into the Prize Fund).

And you wrote of Omaha Flips at DTD, for, I think, £25 a go.

Both of those, for you, seem an utter & total contradiction, so incongrous with your character. You are not a pisser-away-of-money.

Now, as Rory Breaker might say, would you care to enlighten us?

Oh I don't like to complain.....  but, since you ask, it feels like the Brighouse and Rastrick brass band have been clog dancing on it.
