Embarrasing moment anyone?
« on: July 10, 2007, 09:50:40 AM »

I've just had one. redface:

Someone in here very kindly asked me if they could view my new website  cloud9:
Now not having much conversation with this person either in here or over on the bbc, I...wisely I think...asked one of the admin for a 2nd opinion as to if they thought it'd be ok, suspecting they know more about the membership than I do.

A 2nd pm was required, and I duly sent it....to the person I was enquiring about!!!! eeek:

All sorted now anyway. Just be careful that you send pm's to the correct recipient ey? lol:

Too many to mention. have I evermentioned the time I impersonated a hovercraft in a job interview? Just a silly misunderstanding recenlty. Oh, and flooding that dinner party. And dyeing all my landlady's underwear dark brown. And Asking a stragne female if she was "busty" over the email. And..........

Not enough time now.

Indeed there are some people from whom the pm facility should be removed for their safety.  evil:

Ahh, Darwin, I was reliably informed in this thread that this is no longer the correct term. It is now known as CRAFT.

O.K.?
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

And just how the hell did you manage that Nick? Were you trying to drop a crafty one hoping no one would notice? Inquiring minds wish to know!

Ah yes, I forgot. redface:

However, CRAFT seems to cover oubliation rather than just doing downright stupid things for no reason.

. . . and putting the butter into the microwave to soften it for 2 minutes instead of 20 seconds! Still, made good ghee for the curry making session!

Putting the garage key in the fridge under the packet of ham.
No. I don't know why I did either. confused:
Took bloody ages to find it though.

Mrs GROWLER hid her so called 'valuable' jewellery when we went on holiday 4 years ago. Hid it so well she still hasn't found it. ::)

My Dad did something like that once. Hid a stack of cash in the chimney and then a couple of weeks later lit a fire.  ::)

I put a vital door key in a safe place yesterday and am damned if I can find it now. But it is very safe.

And I just found Mrs Nick's spectacles in a bathroom cupboard. Why?

It is a complex tale and requires actions, sound effects and a Spanish accent. One day..............

Mine weren't there too by any chance?
Put them down after reading the saturday paper a few sundays ago, and they haven't been seen since.
I'm now having to wear me specs that  I used when i was a teenager.....errrr, groovy man. 8)
Can't see anything through them mind, but they don't 'arf make me look a sexy stud muffin...I think.
