Gave blood yesterday, and felt right as rain. Woke up with a stinking cold today which means my (momentary) bit of pain is wasted, as no doubt it'll just go down the drain now. :angry:
 
Popped in to a toy shop to pick up something, and people have huge trolley fulls (one family had two) of expensive toys. :nope: They're really going to appreciate a mountain of plastic junk.
 
Always buy my daughter a new pair of pyjamas to open on Christmas Eve, it's always been a tradition. Got her a lovely pair of Elf ones (she loves the film) from Tesco, just gone to wrap them and they've still got a security tag on......means I've now got to go back to Tesco which I could have done without! Obviously had two tags on, the one in the top has been removed (but left a hole) and the one in the bottoms is still there.

That's really annoying, remember buying a coat for my wife - the girl at the till took the tag off, but alarm still sounded when i left the shop, back to the til, alarm again... they had put 4 security tags on the coat, including one hidden inside the pocket - no one's gonna steal a coat from House of Fraser that's all i can say...

Alarm never went off though! Finishing at lunch time tomorrow so will head up there after work.
 
Yeah, so good in fact that a mate got in one from Victoria and ended up in Finchley High Street. He asked to go to Fenchurch. I'd rather pay the extra.

Sounds like a tall tale to me. If you have used uber you'd know that you set the start and finish point on your app and you are sent the price and when you agree the driver is sent the route information and comes to pick you up. No scope for mishearing Fenchurch as Finchley

That doesn't explain why there are so many Chinese people in Harrow.
 
Ooh my days, I haven't heard that joke since my dad told me it, about 20 years ago...

Reminds me of the other bad taxi joke my old man told me..

"I used to be a taxi driver, but I had to quit.. I couldn't stand people talking behind my back".

Nope never used them and never will so no idea how it works. What I do know is my mate has no reason to make that sort of stuff up, my own experience of them are they are ***** drivers with a licence out of a christmas cracker, their english is rubbish and when you see one on Edmund Halley Way in Greenwich asking directions then alarm bell should be ringing.

Was he driving a fire engine?
 
Getting a phone call at 8 o'clock to tell me no-one's going into the office till 9 today rather than our usual time. Could have had an extra half hour or so in bed! :sad:
 
Light bulb has just gone on the extractor hood, the sort of bulb you don't carry a spare for....means I'll have to go and brave the shops tomorrow again :sad:

If you have no luck, let me know. My company has the largest stock of Oven, Fridge etc bulbs in the UK. And probably at a fraction of the price an Independent shop would charge you!.
