THE BRITISH THREAD

Just got up to find half a paving slab through the passenger side window of my car (complete with snail).

IT'S A RIGHT BLOODY MESS!

Phoned and got crime number, held in call waiting for 10 minutes.

Phoned insurance company, who insisted I listened to a recording of their products and packages before I could speak to a human.

The police gave me the number of forensics in my area (new one on me), who then told me that they don't come out unless there is blood, so would I check it and then phone them back!

I'm assuming that it's because it takes a lot less resources to come out with a cotton bud!

Well at least they paid lip service by actually pretending that this kind of crime may be investigated - but really it's just one more call that the 'victim' has to make.

Autoglass just phoned me back to say 'they'll be out sometime today'.

Thats no good smorgie.

I HATE insurance companies.

Wassup gang?

Smorgs - don't let the bastards get ya down. At least the car wasn't stolen.

Somebody's taking me out tonight for a birthday "do". Dinner and drinks kind of thing. Don't know anybody who's going so I'm a bit nervous to be honest. The guy who's taking me is not my boyfriend so I'm a bit unsure why he asked me actually.

Been a busy week at college, yesterday I cut an Asian dude's hair and he was so fussy I was there for an hour doing it "blending it in". Then he had me rub lotion on the back of his head. Didn't even leave a tip. Bastard.

Hey smorgs, tell them "hell yeah there's blood!"


You don't have to tell them it is snail blood until after they get there. :wink:

I'm sure he's invited you because he enjoys your company, and knows you are friendly, interesting, beautiful and funny!

I shouldn't worry about not knowing the guests, just have a drink, relax and enjoy yourself.

Hope you have a great time!

I'm just about to post the 'crime pics'.

What are those funny looking spots on your car smorgy?

oh its raindrops.

I heard legends about water falling from the sky.

I live in Manchester!

Legend has it that it that it rains everyday here...

Passion Wagon is ruined!

For the rain, it raineth every day
With a heigh, ho, the wind and the rain..."

Bad luck, Smorgie.

Autoglass are pretty good though. When my car was similarly done in B & Q carpark they came and cheerfully put it right, and vacced up the glass bits too.

last one:

When I told my granddaughter about it, she dashed outside to check (and I quote):

"I hope they didn't take my homework"

Strangely enough it was still there...

There's an advert jingle in (continental) Europe: "Car glass repairs, car glass exchanges ..."

I know, it's really a very sh!tty bad luck - but since the homework is still there ...

In L. they would have done it with books, since it became the cultural capital of Europe, I suppose.

I don't understand it!

There was nothing to take!

They just rifled through the glove box, and the left Smokey Robinson's greates hits (new) on a double CD! (no taste)

But the door is damaged, and there is damage to the interiour, and I've got a £100 excess on my insurance!

BUGGER!

I'm sorry to hear you've had all this happen to you, Sarah.

How bleedin' annoying!

Does that mean 'men don't put the seat down' Walter?

Shouldn't pee into the wind?

Well, yes, I mean, if there's a funny sign sayin I shouldn't perhaps not, I actually don't do it officially, sometimes, ...
