NorthernJambo Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yesterday, one of my colleagues sent me an instant message to let me know that Andy Murray had been beaten. When I asked why, her response was "Oh, I assumed you'd be a fan." First of all...why would you assume that? I'm Scottish, he's Scottish therefore we have some kind of bond? Second of all...if you thought I was a fan, why would you tell me result? Either I would already know, in which case what was the point? Or I wouldn't yet know, and was planning to watch later, in which case you would've spoiled it for me. I'm trying to see a positive in her behaviour but the only thing I'm coming up with is that she thought I'd be upset and wanted to gloat. Bizarre. She wanted to initiate conversation with a view to letting you pump her. You've blown it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never see the things people claimed to be able to see in those things, I'm convinced it was all just a ruse and people were never able to see anything in them but just didn't want to be left out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Every time I try to bond something using superglue, I always end up getting it on my fingers, no matter how careful I try to be. I can be quite clumsy at times, so I don't know if its just me who has this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) I just got back to my hotel room. This morning I left it in a state, and as I'm only in Italy 2 nights, I stuck a "do not disturb" on the door. I don't need the bed making every day, and could do without feeling that I needed to leave it in a semi-respectable state. I got to my door, found that the sign had been taken off it, and that inside the bed was made. Now I look like a tight git for not leaving a fiver on the bed for housekeeping, and she's sarcastically left 2 chocolates on the bed for me. WTF? Surely "do not disturb" means bugger off and leave this room alone?? Edited July 13, 2017 by milton75 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you tip midway through your stay? To make yourself feel less of a pussy, leave a decent tip and a turd in the sink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Reading Milton's dilemma reminds me of this Alan: No, it’s a bloody nightmare. [Alan places some money on the bed-side cabinet] Jill: Is that for me Alan? Alan: That? Oh god no! No, I always put my money there of an evening. If it was you could add a zero to that. Seven pounds six, you know. Jill: Seventy quid? Alan: Well, no. Double it. Jill: It’s still cheap. Alan: I’m not haggling! I was trying to pay you a compliment. Unless I’ve grossly misread the situation. It was my understanding in the lift that no money would change hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm such a good guy that on my last holiday I left around €0.73, a quarter of a bottle of gut rot vodka and half a Lynx shower gel for the cleaners to fight over. They deserve it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I was in a golf club last night where I saw the club winners board on the wall with two columns, first on the left running from the 1950s-70s and another on the right from the 80's to 00's. However, as the board filled up, a separate overflow board has been created, but needlessly hung up left of the original board. Still annoying me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to leave room for the 2040's - 60's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
