Quiet today
« on: June 01, 2007, 11:54:56 AM »
I assume Barman is having a birthday treat, perhaps provided by wench.

There is a very, very large cake on a trolley in the corridor outside the gents and there are faint sounds of the 'Volga Boatman' being sung inside it.

Our birthday boy is certainly popular as I answered the phone for him and apparently some chaps from the Inland Revenue have a surprise arranged for him today as well.

Meanwhile, it seems to be 'help yourself day' in the snug.

That gang of Liverpudliar roofers in the public bar are getting rather rowdy as they drink their way through a pile of cash they got from "some daft Count" who has recently been fleeced over repairs to the roof, presumably of his stately home?

The barman was up very early, singing "Happy Birthday to Me" and sobbing into his hankie.
I assume some outing was planned for the day as I have not heard from him since.

Other news of the day is that I was, at 11.05hrs, barred from the "Other Place"

Not seen nor heard from Wench but wasn't she going to the garden centre today?

The "Other Place" is also very quiet.

Numbers have popped in, had a read and vanished without a word throughout the morning.

As for the Liverpudlian Roofers ~ least said, soonest mended would seem the best policy there. Mrs Nick will no doubt have much to say over the weekend and, I am confident, Nick will give us a digest in time.

I note that Nick has given us the first update as I have been typing.

 lol: He's got another 6 hours max and then that's it. Finito. Back behind the pumps  ;)


And as for being quiet... end of quarter Vat return for HM Custard & Excess, end of month invoicing and, just because I said I'm working abroad for a couple of weeks my 'lovely' customers (bless 'em) are throwing stuff at me like there's no tomorrow. Anyway, that's my excuse redface:

Bear in mind he's already behind the pumps and judging from the way he's swaying there may not be much left in the cellar  eyes:
