THE BRITISH THREAD

margo-

We've been setting you up. Winning the final is the objective. We got you all complacent by our desultory methods and approach so that you have begun coasting and when the final comes you've gone all soft and flabby and then we piss all over you and carry off the trophy and the glory and, last but not least, the prize money.

The Goddess Nemesis knows how to handle Hubris.

Hi, everyone!

Can you imagine how cold we are?

Still no heating!!!!

My bastard Rachman of a Landlord says someone may come Monday OR Tuesday!

I can't do anything to agitate as we have an £800 deposit on this house and desperately need it back to carpet and move into the new place!

These are dark days indeed.

I hope that'll be in time for the squirrel!

Sending you some heatwaves ~ ~ ~ ~

smorgs, what happened to those canaries??

Really sympathise about the heating, I'm trying to economise and be Good to the Planet but there just aren't enough jumpers and jackets available to sit comfily typing in.

well clary is being good to the planet uncomfortably
and smorgs is being good to the planet by default
and no one is happy about it.

there must be a moral here.

A good, sound, scientific evolutionist Steve would say that not only do the fittest survive but that they are the only ones who deserve to and that anybody who can't afford decent accomodation after squandering their scarce resources on trips to Amsterdam and eating out and suchlike is just not fit.

But you are such a nice man aren't you Steve and you would never say anything as unkind as that now would you because you don't want to be unpopular and that's the main priority.

I don't give a shite whether I'm popular or not.

Just use your money for what matters most.

Exactly.

Those of us with offspring would like to think the genetic line will continue, so planetary affairs are of some importance. Most of my childless friends are happy with survival of the fittest after they are dead, and why not?

Just wanted to let you know that I will not be posting for a while.

Most of you know about my Dad and housing situation. It will take me a while to set up an internet connection at the new place. I know it's a frivolous thing, and although I've always had difficultiy getting my priorities right, I will use my scarce resources to get back on-line as soon as possible.

I WILL be back, hopefully when Spring turns a old womans fancy...

spends, I know your last post was aimed at me, I just want to say it was very unkind, and upset me very much. But then you would consider that feminine over-sensitivity, wouldn't you?

I'll see you all soon, take care of yourselves, including you spendius.

Sarah.

That doesn't sound good, smorgs!

All the very best for you and hoping to see you back soon!

(You remember to send the squirrel, though, don't you?!)

I heard a massive amount of turkeys were being killed to protect the British public from bird flu and I was quite concerned about the welfare of spendius. will he survive the slaughter?

Probably. Tough, cantankerous old coots aren't at risk of catching anything terminal unfortunately.

In relation to the outbreak at the Bernard Matthews Flootiful Turkey Factory it is necessary to remember that a number of bureaucracies swing into action each jealous of the powers of the others and mostly on double time and puffed up with a sense of self importance due to the heavy responsibility of leading us all to safety.

20,000 large birds in one cabin is asking for trouble one way or another. It might be stretching it to call them turkeys at all.

Chin up smorgsie. No pain -no gain. If it ain't hurting it ain't working.

B'stard indeed!

In these cases it would be very tempting, on moving out day, to find some nice, healthy Japanese Knotweed roots and submerge them in the soil at six inch intervals, all the way round the outside of his precious house, right by the foundations.
Of course, I'd never condone such action, but can understand why some people would find it SO tempting to do such a thing. :wink:

Spring is almost sprung, Sarah, and you'll be in your new place and watching the daffs grow.
Hopefully, this will give you renewed vigour so that you can go to work with a smile and once again cross swords with any scrote who may attempt to upset you, both at the JCP OR indeed, here.

In the meantime, if your heating doesn't get fixed next week and you want me to come up there and "hurrr" my hot breath on any part of your anatomy, please don't hesitate to ask.

I must warn you though that nowadays I can only hurrr three times in rapid succession before having to sit down until the giddiness has gone, but I'm sure I could still successfully re-activate at least one of your major cold parts before I blacked out completely.

I'm certainly willing to give it a go, anyway....

I'm just popping in to wish smorgs a very happy birthday ... or as happy as possible under these circumstances. I don't remember the precise date, but I have reason to know that it's round about this coming week.

Cheers, Sarah!

:wink:

But the 8th hasn't happened yet.

You're quite right, Clary.

It's next Thursday, and I hope she has a great time.

Aquarian birthdays, so many!! I've had to remember 8 so far, it's all because I have an Aquarian ascendant and we get on well...

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius....
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derision
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius.....

(((You guys...)))

Not you, spends!



I'm being aloof and not speaking to suspendy 'cos he is one mean spirited, greasy-haired, pompous bugger sometimes!

It's next Thursday - I'm a whole 50!

Thank God for Nivea!
