😃 The Little Pleasures of Everyday Life

Went to a dull work related conference this morning and did the obligatory pop-in to the office to see some of the team - but have just spent a good few hours with an old colleague who’s now a senior manager at an insurer we use and also our account manager for a leisurely lunchtime curry and beer at The Mint Leaf in Angel Court in the City. Proper civilised old school & all on their expenses…

Here you go mate, have a read through this first. We don’t want you making a fool of yourself on there, especially now that Musk is at the wheel. :+1::+1::+1:

Using my new (present last Xmas) leaf hoover - it macerates the leaves as well, leaving a perfect free mulch for immediate use, and for next year.
It’s taken me a few days to get the hang of the thing, due to reasons I would rather not talk about - I am, of course, very old, so terminal daftness is allowed.

I’m guessing you overlooked the fact that it can blow as well as vacuum.

You’re not alone. :smile::smile::smile:

I’ll have you know that none other than Niall Horan has retweeted me in the past.
Downside is Piers Morgan liked a tweet of mine.
In my defence it was about golf

Isn’t he the lead singer of one of my favourite bands, The Snivelling Shits?

It’s probably a trick post from Phil. I bet he’s a notorious gay porn star or something.

It would be more interesting if he was tbf

No -worse! It was several hours before I realised that the handle extended, and had been pushing it around bent in half - nearly fucked my back!
Also - when emptying the vacuum bag, and having opened the zip all along the bottom, you need to remember to do the zip up again when you start your next run!
Will have to read the instructions again to see if it blows as well as - wait for it - sucks.
Further information may follow.

Holy shit.
I have won an argument!
Since February I have been telling Mrs P_F I need to go to immigration to upgrade to Permanent Residency
No you don’t she said.
Well this week the fail ran a scare story about 2.5m EU citizens living in UK at risk of being kicked out as they hadn’t upgraded to Permanent status. All down to a typo in the UK Law.
It implied it affects Brits in EU as the upgrade isn’t automatic.
So finally after temper tantrums she waited in a phone queue for an hour and boom.
I have to go to immigration and do the form filling next Tuesday at 0730 with her - lol.
I told you so wasn’t appreciated
But bloody good job I checked. I would get kicked out after 31st December!
She has been very quiet since.
