Mrs Nick reminds me that she has booked the three of us into some sort of flamenco event in Scallypool tonight. That done, she heads off to work.
I go down to make some coffee and find a large bucket on the kitchen table with a note 'Please bring this bucket to the event this evening.'
WTF is that about? rubschin:
-
It is Scallypool Nick... ::)

Pity it's not on the 19th Feb., and then you could tell her to take it herself. ::)
-
But what can it possibly be for?

To stick over your head, cus like me with this shower of moose's here, you are an embarrasment to her probably. ::)
-
So I am meant to sit in a flamenco event with a large bucket on my head in order to be unobtrusive?
Makes perfect sense ::)
-
It's one of those non-stop dancing marathons.
If you leave the floor to have a pee you lose.

Have you considered interupting her soooooooooo important working life by ringing her, on her mobile, and asking why? Failure to gain a satisfactory answer should result in you saying firmly "No I am not travelling to Scallypool or anywhere else carrying a bucket" End of problem.
If you are spoiling for a fight you could even ask why the fvck she didn't take it with her.
-
I have e mailed her to make an enquiry rubschin:
-
It'll be for soaking your feet in after you have danced the night away cloud9:

My flamenco dancing days are over. My castanets are not what they were evil:

Besides ~ have you seen the size of his feet? eeek:

And my nose. Other parts in proportion eyes:

It seems that the flamenco event is somehow charitable and she want s to take a collection for Chilean refugees or summat. The bucket, I checked, is a 4 gallon size. Seems optimistic to me. A tin would be better noooo:
-
Does Mrs Nick have anything to do with organising the event? If so I reckon she is running a raffle or something similar that needs a large container for the draw ~ perhapw she has responsiblity for buying flowers for a "guest of honour" and wants a bucket of water to keep them fresh in.
Didn't see the above but I was at least partially right in that she is organising. Now ~ why did she not takle the bucket with her? ~ Given that she is only too aware of your ability to "forget" her instructions.
-
She went in on the train. Maybe carrying a 4 gallon bucket would have looked odd!

She is taking you to the event and is worried about looking odd on the train? eeek:

Ring her and say you can't bring the bucket because you'll be going by train as well.
Getting in practise like. ;)

Ah but Nick has a practical use here:
"Give me a donation or I set Captain Calamity on you!"
By the end of the evening she would have raised the GDP od a South American country. whistle:

Passing the bucket around's a bit naff eeek:
Take an old knackered spanish guitar and they can put the dosh through the hole in the middle ;D

Anyone got an old knackered Spanish guitar?

How do you tell the nationality of a guitar whacky115

Simple Miss D, play a scale. If its a Spanish guitar it will bo A#, B# Cnor.. whistle:

Will 2 dead car batteries, Mrs Growler, a mini moose, and a telephone with a broken handset suffice? whistle:

The bucket was not required evil:
I felt like an idiot!

Collecting donations. It proved not to be necessary noooo:

Has it occured that this was possibly some devious form of punishment dreamt up by Mrs Nick?
-
That thought had not occurred to me. She is quite calm at present. Which is worrying. I haven't mentioned the solicitor's bill yet scared2:
-
Ah ~ The calm before the storm eh?
Surely the solicitor's bill is between the solicitor and his client ~ which Mrs Nick is not ~ yet eveilgrin:

I don't doubt that I will get some GBH after the 18th, then it will settle down.
