Title: On being smart…
Post by: Barman on April 09, 2008, 11:44:40 AM
I thought I was being very smart this morning. I persuaded the customer to install the cables I needed (I hate that part of the job) while I installed the satellite dish on the roof.  whistle:

Consequently, I was ‘job-done’ in double-quick time and home.  cloud9:

Now I am installing trellis in the garden.  Banghead

That rather depends if LL has chosen wooden or plastic trellis. If it is wooden it will need to be treated with a wood preservative every couple of years and certainly when first erected. If plastic it will crack in the sun, turn a paler colour than the one she thought she had bought (unless white in which case it will go yellow) and it will be all YOUR FAULT!

You'd think wouldn't you. There are ambassador members, season ticket holders, away club members, ordinary members. Those alone will, IMHO, be more than the allocation. At the moment we are railing against corporate tickets.  Banghead I will be calling all my contacts when I get home in an attempt to pull a couple in. MILFH and Brother in Law will be fine because they are ambassador and season ticket holders. Mr Wench however, only holds away club membership which despite promises seems to no better than a tesco club card for getting a ticket.

I've suggested he get a season ticket  scared2:
I must be insane. Although it is beginning to look as though it is the only way he will be guaranteed a ticket.
I have made him sign a contract that states he will go to no more than 12 games next season though!

Isn't that an Olde English Folk Song?

 whistle: "Here we go gathering nuts on Ebay, nuts on Ebay, nuts on Ebay"  whistle:
















And since this thread is titled "On being smart" and before anyone says it ~ I know we sing of Nuts in May but in reality it has nothing to do with nuts ..... see also a previous comment about Casting Clouts in May when I mentioned that it is the May Blssom that has to be out not the month .... so this song refers to the gathering of Knots(posies) of May Blossom (AKA The white flowers of the Hawthorn Bush)
Whilst being pedantic some may find this interesting but most will not.

Careful Snoop, when Wenchy realised that putting BM/s nuts on ebay would mean she'd incur a loss she started looking at your winalot with a worrying smile........  eeek:

Just keep an eye out for anything that doesnt look quite right in your bowl. Fortunately cats are far too discerning to fall for anything like that  point:
