So about three weeks then?
Iāll give you that one.
The drink with one of my best memories.
Sipping one of those in the pool at the Jumeira Beach Hotel Friday lunchtime having just finished running a conference.
Mobile rings. My Bossās wife who had been running an event.
āHi Phil, is there any way you could get to Paris tomorrow morning. We had a client drop out and youāve been nominated to come to the game as you have 2 clients there?ā
On my way I replied.
Finished the Pina Colada & 2 more (happy hour) went home, changed, packed, flew to Paris via London, checked in to hotel, took clients out to dinner and had? Pina Coladas for starters
Next day? Yeah we were in Corporate with seats on halfway line.
For the 1998 World Cup Final.
Yeah. I love the memory that drink brings back.
Fuck me what a hangover on the Monday. Champs Dā whatever - pack - airport - Southampton- wearing a traffic cone on my headā¦
Was reminded of a pre lockdown story.
Daughter takes Grandkids to park. Kid about same age as Grandson playing football with his Dad asks Grandson to join in ( he is 5)
Theyāre having fun, Dad compliments Grandson who turns and says - Thanks Joe.
5 years old he recognised Joe Cole !
Anyway was reminded as they bumped into him on their forest walk today & bless, Joe remembered his name. GS is totally unfazed when asked he said he saw him in an old game when Spurs (his team) beat Wet Spam.
Bless.
I miss seeing them
I have purchased a new bug zapper tennis racquet type thing. The cracking noise it makes when you connect with a fly is very satisfyingā¦
Very effective on mozzies. Maybe my brain was projecting but Iām sure I could hear the little bastards screaming when I zapped them
What happens if, for example, when alone, you hit the racquet thing against your balls?
Iām not sure and Iām not sure I want to knowā¦I made BTripz Jr. put his fingers in it and he collapsed holding his heart area soā¦
Your penis has fingers?
You jizz mini lightning bolts.
Have you been spying on me?
My penis is called ālittle Bobā for obvious reasonsā¦and no Rule 1 is not going to be appliedā¦
I really think you should do it and video it. And post it up here. Iāll sponsor you. You can be like Capt Tom.
Yes, here is a picture I took from outside your house, I think you were watching Charlie Dimmockās āGarden Rescueā at the time:
They work brilliantly on cats
For your personal health, & long term viability of your Testicles, may I also recommend NOT using it to give the wife a playful slap on the arse when she emerges from the showerā¦
This Public Health warning was brought to you by AXA Health Insurance who no longer cover electric zipper thing injuries.
It did in retrospect help me win karaoke that night with a rendition of The Lion sleeps tonightā¦
Before the world went to hell I had an employment contract in utro or something.
Meant the boss paid my āmedicalā insurance & tax yet i got paid cash.
Weird.
Mrs P_F spoke with BFFs Mum who knows shit & changed my tax return to married combined status.
We were due a tax rebate.
Not much by UK standards but currently about 1 month of food Bills at local .prices
The crazy bit is that we got the tax rebate today.
Delivered by Registered Post.
Cash.
Old fashioned Wonka.
Unbelievable Jeff
