Bitter but optimistic

OK you're in. Please post as often as you like on this thread.

Just finished the week attempting to help Biffen tidy up his affairs at the Gat. It's cost me fuel for the Merc, tolls, lunches etc. Plus the physical burden of moving his equipment. Neither a word of thanks nor any of his promised recompense. [censored] ingrate!

Good Lord!!

I could cope with that.

Arrgh! Time to open another Shiraz.

Been a mixed week so far for poor old Uncle Bitter. 1.I'm helping Biffen tidy up some of his messy business interests. Interesting but his promise of financial reward seems unlikely. 2. Visited my GP today and she advised me not to make any long term plans. 3.Finally some mirth. Pendles and his missus named their sprog "Jax" . FM where does that come from? I suppose the filth supporters will consider it sophisticated. Jax!!! FMD!!

You work in an asylum laze?

Now that's hitting below the belt.

I've had lunch with Biffen. I prefer the monkey. Both for table manners ..... and most likely conversation.

It's mostly allegorical of course. One of your crass ilk wouldn't understand.

Mmmmmmmmmm ....... you've really set the bar very high with that gem Red. Such subtlety. I feel even dumber ............FMD!

900. No probs.

to our pandemonium ...........

I'll cut you some slack on this discussion dc

Well said Red!! And may I add, with my usual modesty of course, that I'm sure my minor contributions about the wonderfully decadent and luxurious lifestyle at The Manor, has cheered up the otherwise sad life of many a poor person.

Indeed dc but I have learnt when dealing with Telcos, power providers and such the email works much better for me. Phone enquiries always seem to end in tears. Well I have to take issue with you here dc. Most of the movies I watch have a very limited soundtrack and dialogue. However, the intent is clear and there is generally a happy ending.

Good point Whelan, we could get them to clear up the whole rule book. iinet

I recently queried my internet provider about some incorrect charges. Here is an excerpt from their reply. "Our sincere apologies these errors has not been brought to light earlier and amounts had already erroneous been extracted for the uncancelled ADSL services. We will ensure these cancelled for future reference." Well that's good .... I think.

That first half was a shocker - I wonder what caused such terrible disposal from both sides.

Had lunch with Biffen today. It's apparently good for the soul to mix with people from the more dubious social strata. Anyway Biffen chose the location and again it was a dingy little inn in some god forsaken backwater. Well the food!! It came either drowned in tomato sauce or needed to be, to mask the underlying "taste" Biffen, to demonstrate the sophistication gained from his recent Asian jaunt, created a scene. He demanded sweet chilli sauce Not only that but it had to be "Kan tong" or some such because that is "orthentic" FMD ! How humiliating!
