Title: Good news and bad news
Post by: Nick on March 06, 2011, 04:29:38 PM
We have all experienced this.

For example, my cousins yesterday (the married ones) told me that my second cousin Susan (two years younger than me) had, as a teenager "really had the hots for me"  eyes: I never knew  eeek:

Then I checked something. Yes, they said, the SUsan who was blind from birth  evil:

But I don't have any blind second cousins. noooo:

I did (in my early teens) have the serious hots for one cousin of mine luckily he was a bloke and not blind.

Only ever met him a couple of times the last time was at his mothers 70th birthday bash about 7 years ago.  He was then in his late forties and still he managed to reduce me to a gibbering wreck. Drool: Drool: redface:

Just went into the kitchen and saw that the Corsa has been returned, all neatly parked in the back garden  .... Finally found keys had been put in the letter box.

And the bad news? ....... The bill will follow in a few days.


Oh ~ and obviously the back door bell batteries need changing.

The car is with an electrical specialist. Had to get that fixed first or it won't pass its MOT. OK?  Garage doing service is several miles away and car not driveable. OK?

The Ford main stealers in Winchester couldn't find the fault. This guy in a shack in a back street found it in 30 minutes (at £40 per hour or part thereof)
