In The Wrong Job


I am definitely going to change jobs. Or perhaps I should say I am going to give up working.

Heard on the radio today about a guy who apparently was “earning” in excess of £20k a year thru begging. He was also claiming benefits.

It is estimated that he was collecting around £50 per day and nearer £100 per day at the weekend.

Oh, by the way, he’s not homeless. He lives in a flat with his girlfriend.

So, yes I am giving up working. I just need to decide on the best spot to place my tin. Anyone got some string, with a scrawny but cute mongrel attached, that I can borrow.

The Funniest Thing


Watched Grumpy Old Men last night. Rick Wakemans tale of the electrical shop salesman who suggested that he couldn’t take back a faulty kettle had us in stitches.

Apparently he said it was the shops policy not to accept returns that had been used.

So how was Rick supposed to determine that the kettle didn’t actually boil.

Apparently he, the salesman, also pointed out that the packaging had been opened and was damaged.

After consulting with “head office” he confirmed to Rick that he would, on this occasion, exchange the kettle.

True Life Is Truly Hilarious
