Still not sorted.
I'm making a few calls to 'touch base' and have a moan about my current luck. My first caller lets me go through the whole tale before I ask how they are.
"I've probably got cancer."
"Oh."
A couple of days later, a call to the fabulous Karaoke Karen gets as far as,
"I've had a bad week,"
"You've had a bad week!!! Listen to mine......."
You see, there's always someone worse off than yourself.
-------------------------------------
My youngest, Little Miss is blowing her nose in some kitchen roll. I offer her some soft tissues but the box resembles an RTA. She looks at me in a WTF way.
"Sorry Evil Chicken thought it was hostile." I explain.
------------------------------------
I forgot to put a belt on before I went out today. I'm doing the waist band wiggle to hoik them up and think this makes me like a sk8er boy. At my age I probably just look like a plumber.
If the point of text speak is brevity, shouldn't 'sk8er boi' be 'sk8r boy'?
------------------------------------
People are impressed with the condition of the Skoda ( possibly the slowest car I''ve ever driven ). One comment was,
"That's the first car you've owned, that doesn't look like you found it in a skip."
"I've probably got cancer."
"Oh."

Yey I'm first.
I just couldn't walk away without a comment.
The first car you didnt find in a skip coz it is the bloody skip.
Incidently, second! Yay and stuff.
Nothing wrong with Skoka. You're talking to someone who's owned a Morris Marina, 2 Ladas 2 Fiat Pandas and 6 Reliants.
YAY! I'm fourth! 6 reliants? At what point did you just give up, and go, hey, these reliants really don't last that long, I should buy bulk. Phnar. Reliants are funny.
I think so anyway.
Pants that took so long to go through that I'm now fifth! Oh dammit, sixth! Bloody maths.
Yay! I'm seventh!
It is quite possible that you have had a better week than Gene Pitney.Dying in a motel in....Cardiff. Is that a rock n roll exit, or what?
Knew that would cheer you up.
Well at least you're mobile - sort of.
And the whole "jeans thing " for those of us who are no longer 20 is a mire, a quagmire I tell you...the sizing is random for a start, and what's the difference between "size" and "fit" - when the nice girl in GAP bought me 15 different versions to try on I had a panic attack and went home!
Do puppy's teethe do you know?
I'm pretty sure puppys do teethe, Lippy. They have teeth like pins and you cant unhook them from your hands for weeks until they get their big dog teeth.
Let not a bad word be said about Skoda. You get the same car that you get from Volkswagon but only pay half the money. Yay!
Thanks fuckkit, I think they do too?
Mine is just looking very pathetic, either chewing madly or very gingerly and generally being mardy!
When are you offski? I am jealous btw - not that I didn't bugger off to the antipodes in my youth, I did, but it's probably time to bugger off there again!
Shifty- The turd has stopped stalking the valleys. I think it got a contract to make a Japanese film with Godzilla.
The Americans seem to have taken the new Mini to heart.
Muck- Most of the reliants were used for parts, only 2 ever got an MOT. Little Miss tells me that the aerial shot of our house taken by Google Earth shows them in the garden making us look like Pikeys.
Phlegm- Yey, I'm thirteenth.
Arabella- I've stayed in Cardiff hotels. The suprise is that anyone ever survives them.
There are no motels in Cardiff.
Lippy- The trick is to have a similar sized friend with expensive taste and a shopping compulsion. When their wife orders a wardrobe 'cull', I benefit.
Evil Chicken seems to be teething. I've just rescued the Skoda manual from destruction.
Qenny- You're right. Interestingly, ( to me anyway ) The first VW Skodas used the old Skoda Estelle engine. It was the only really good thing about the Estelle. When the VW motor was installed the power output actually went down.

Puppies are great. When theyre not chewing all your shoes anyway.
Im off on the 10th May for 12 months. Wanna come? Everyones welcome* ;)
* If you can get through the complicated Australian visa laws
I think I'm getting a bit too old for grape picking.
The good thing about having a blog is that you can bemoan your current situation and if anyone has a worse tale to tell, you can just delete their comment.
Good thinking.
Actually other peoples tales of woe cheer me up.
Better to be trumped with a woe story, than have the worst one.
oh dear, spammers are everywhere.
Hi, I'm 20th! Yay.
