Be Excellent To Each Other

Awlright! Our landlady's insane!

We're due to move out and move into a new property on the 1st July. She wants us out on the 30th. This despite the fact that she's sold the property to new homeowners who can clearly wait an extra day. Off home in ten minutes to check if our contract says 'up to and including the 30th July' instead of 'out on the 30th July'. Either way we're not budging on this one, and frankly I question her sanity - I mean, the only other option we have is to camp out on the doorstep, which is going to be great for the new owners isn't it?

She's also demanding we clean up now to prepare for an inspection. The place isn't a mess at all, but she's anally retentive - and I just know she's going to try and screw us out of our bond on the damp that came overnight during winter, despite it appearing in the room that was the extension and the fact that the house is only single-glazed.



Great news day, eh? First no Green Man, now this. Tch.

Although not as bad as Mr Russell's bad news, clearly. Sorry to hear about it, mate. Really hope you find a new awesomo employer soon.

I used to love liver until I once had a piece with white crunchy bits in it.

The law about getting tenants out is very specific. If she didn't send you a letter via recorded delivery two months ago you don't even need to leave on the 1st, let alone the 30th. Tell her you will be respecting the letter of your contract.

And then hide a dead prostitute under the floorboards.

I don't even think about it tbh. I mean, the dollops of clarot and grot that come out when frying it off is pretty gross.

Once cooked though it transforms into something marvellous. I use lamb's livers now. They're more delicate and tastier IMO. Cheaper, too.

New Amiga. Not quite sure how many sales they'll get at £1,500 a pop though.

Has anyone got a German handy that might be amenable to checking a translation? My Dad's been sentI coped with the cover email but was stumped by enough of the above that I asked Google, which I think did a reasonably coherent jobThe 'payment by payment' bit is obviously cack-handed; I presumed there's a date by which some or all of the fee must be paid. So I thought I'd asked Babelfish. It's a drunken mentallerI especially liked "amplifier-change-eat." But somehow it manages to make slightly more sense regarding that one specific bit that Google doesn't cope with; that is "the deposit must be pre-paid by [unmentioned date], otherwise we cancel it automatically."

Space tourists!

Zero G cock fry up.

Can't be fucked trying to find the RIP thread.



RIP Frank you utter legend.

Why have they hired Dick, I beg your pardon, Nick Griffin to present it?

Perhaps you should have just looked at the screen, it was the third one down (one above B&B) when you posted that.

Obviously, the last post in it was about Frank there.

Driven for ages, heard news just as I got in, couldn't be fucked.

Denied.

I actually clicked buy to see if they delivered to the UK as it would make a brilliant birthday present for a mate of mine.

I am so sad right now.

I would very happily buy that if it were real.

"We are confirming the reservation R-00003275 for 15th-17th of July 2010. The space +W008 is located in the tourists' car park [sounds like motor home to me?] near the Naturbadesee and reserved for the booked number of people.

We hope you have a pleasant journey and a relaxing holiday in the holiday resort/region [for lack of a better word] Haddorfer Seen!

The reservation will become binding with reception of the deposit. If the deposit is not received by the pre-arranged deadline the booking will be cancelled automatically.

If you are unable to attend the deposit will remain with us as a cancellation fee. We ask for your understanding.

Please park by the road and register first to avoid queues at the barrier."

Cheers Anonymous!

I know! They're renaming it "Chevrolet"! WTF is that, French? It's CHEVY.

Aww I just watched the last one

Next door neighbour is now a properly single mum with a dog. She seems OK about it, though. Not knowing how to react to this news, I offered to take stuff to the tip for her...

Are you me? My next door neighbour has just become that as well. Does she also have several cats and a guinea pig?

Maybe Mali lives the other side.

other bizare news for kovacs...... I don't appear to have diabetes anymore... which is odd as odd can be..

Uh - yes. That is a little unusual. Good news though!

Last 15 months conversations with consulatant went

You Type 1 have insulin....
Oh you are not using a lot of insulin...
lets test you..
You are Type 2 have tablets....
Oh you don't need tablets... just test.
Your bloods seem normal test less....

yesteday was.... erm do you mind us doing a study on you!!

Fantastic news Kov.

Cheers this and my promotion been a good month so far....

Nice one.

Well, I reckon you were due a bit of luck.

Yes just need the pay rise to go with it (although that can wait till after the divorce).. and I will be truly happy

I hope you still have internet access in the government owned super-prison!

And somehow beating diabetes is one hell of a bit of luck. Great stuff, Kovacs; it's the handshakes.

Kovacs is motherfucking Wolverine!

Nah, Wolverine has a firm handshake.

The missus has just text me saying she’d like to go to stratford this weekend for a birthday surprise. Now, apart from being mind blowingly furious about missing Dr Who and having to watch it on the iPlayer… I’m up for a nice weekend away.

The only problem is.. We’ve got a load of washing to do! (Clothes washing that is…) and since I normally spend all day Saturday doing the washing let’s throw it out to the group.

When should I do the washing? Should I…

1) Put the washing machine on over night then peg it out in the morning risking being late for work? (I will DEFINITELY be late for work)
2) Put the washing machine on when I get home and leave the washing out overnight?
3) Throw everything away and buy new clothes?
4) Something else that I haven’t thought of?

These are all burning questions people!!!

5) visit a naturist park

No tumble dryer?

Nice one Kovacs, you arm-wrestled Diabetes and won!

2 or 4.

With 4 being clean with fire.

In this weather, your washing should only take an hour or so to dry outside. So do it after work and bring it in before it gets dark.

How is it a surprise btw?

I wish I had such troubling problems.

It's so mild at the moment that if you get in at about 7, do the washing which should take about half an hour, peg it out it'll likely be dry before you go to bed. Check the forecast - if it's dry it'll be fine on the line overnight, but you will need to be aware that clothes left on the line overnight are more susceptible to being treated as handy homes by all kinds of bugs and food for moths.

It's a surprise for me and my bank balance!

I have to be very careful when putting clothes on the line. There's a certain spot just below an overhanging branch which provides a free layer of bird shit for any item placed underneath it.

The wife hung out a full load of washing yesterday. She didn't bring it in before the sprinklers all came on....

Budget at 1230, peoples!
