Although your household insurance probably already covers it.

+ Did they sell you rust protection? Because modern cameras do rust.

What household insurance?

I never finish the application forms as they all ask me about roofing materials, the date on which the property was built and other such things I know nothing about, and if I do just bluff my way through the 56473865782638726487263485726387562 questions, 'they' offer me 55 or more quid per month for contents insurance, not including stuff taken off property, and with a 100 quid excess.

Not having had insurance for the last 18 months = About a grand

The only thing we own between us that costs more than that is Maria's engagement ring, and as such it's the only thing I should probably get insured.

And for that reason they usually have factory-installed anti-rust coatings. If yours didn't, did they remember to take off the automatic rust protection surcharge?

By and large it is a good idea to be truthful about these things, on the occasion that you have to make a claim, and things don't stack up, whackiness ensues, and then you have to pay a lot of money out.

Thanks all for your lovely messages of awesomeness. Yeah, I'll get through all this crap I'm sure. Each day I feel a little bit better about it all.

It's me birthday at the weekend and Former Lady Zio had previously - even whilst we've been apart - suggested she would take me out for the day to celebrate. I texted her yesterday to see if she still intended to do this. She replied this morning to confirm that she did not. She believes it is time we put all this behind us and not see each other anymore.

This has not made me as sad as I thought it would, in some respects it's almost a weight off my shoulders as it very much now seems that that ship has sailed. Her loss, really. What I am more concerned about is that she has apparentely written and sent me a letter, which I should receive in the next day or two. Fortunately, a very lovely mutual friend (though arguably closer to me) has suggested that I visit her when said letter arrives so that I can open it while she is available on hand with cups of tea and hugs. I have provisionally taken her up on this generous offer.

I do rather wish I hadn't spent so much dosh on FLZ's own birthday present - her birthday is in mid-Jan and I'd bought two very expensive tickets to a musical she wants to see. She knows I bought them too, so I'd feel like a proper bastard selling them on eBay. My current plan is to pop them round to her parents when she's out, that way she can take whoever she likes to see it with her.

In the meantime, I have assembled a number of close friends for an evening of drinkage to celebrate the day of my birth instead. All I need now is a reminder in how this 'meeting available women' thing works now as techincally I haven't needed to do that since university, and that was almost ten years ago.

Pff, is she's not interested in your birthday and will openly tell you so, I'd resell the tickets. Or go myself if I wanted to.

But then I can be a petty bar steward ;)

Cracking.

I popped up another couple of levels in CoD4 tonight. Need to start popping about with other guns now, though, I think. But bollocks, I'll be a sniper.

Also, how come i never see 'killing house' on multiplayer, as it could be a hoot 2 vs 2.

You could ask her if she wanted to buy the tickets, else recoup your money & sell them.

Sell 'em....either that or...

My own birthday is on the 26th of January *waggles eyebrows* I CAN HAS GO INSTEAD?! :DD

I'm glad you don't seem too sad about her not going out with you for your birthday-you probably would have had a crappy day with her anyway because of all of this-go out and just ENJOY and go on the razz love :)

But remember-Aunty Kat says:

Don't be a fool,

Morning Pliss-I can't see properly yet *blinks* Gaz is off work ill, the kids are going back to Devon shortly and I have a terrible hacking cough :S

I hadn't made any bad typos whilst captioning the pictures I uploaded, and I figured that wasn't very fun, so you got this effort typing blind on the iPhone instead. "sri k" should be "drunk" but I've hit space instead of n, etc etc.

When you're writing the blurb for the back of a DVD case and you mention the name of an actor you're contractually obliged to follow it with two other films they've been in that a prospective viewer might have seen, right?

Pity the poor bastard writing the blurb for the Highlander DVD who has to find two more Christopher Lambert movies. They've gone with Mortal Combat and Subway (whu?), when it might have been more honest to try Highlander 2 and You Know, That One Where He's In The Prison.

What a dick. The OP, I mean.


Hah! That gets better... I'm just at the bit where the car dealer has posted a clearly made up gracious and exonerating response from his potential customer :D


Oh man, I'm on page 7 now and it's turned into a right car crash (pun definitely intended).


I've got there now. How made up is that response? I can't stop laughing! :DD

Pity the poor bastard writing the blurb for the Highlander DVD who has to find two more Christopher Lambert movies. They've gone with Mortal Combat and Subway (whu?), when it might have been more honest to try Highlander 2 and You Know, That One Where He's In The Prison.


Or Greystoke, which was good.

Do the same presentation that Fran did in Black Books.

I actually love doing doing presentations so I think I'll probably just stick with plan A, stand there wanting the earth to swallow me up and mumble through it whilst turning red and feeling sweaty and then if there are any questions I'll either burst into tears or feign sudden illness.

Just imagine them all naked, with monocles and xylophones.

Wasn't 'Subway' really good?

Funny you should mention that, I'll double check tonight but I'm almost certain that Mortal Kombat Annihilation credits one of its stars as Dave ActorName (Mortal Kombat Annihilation).

The last presentation I did, the end slide said "Be aware any questions will be deflected with use of pictures of cute kittens."

Someone tried to call my bluff.

They don't know me at all do they?
