Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

Regrettably it was only a flying visit. Sorry, Peter.  

I was back and forth like a yo-yo all weekend. Cardiff to Essex on Friday; down to Brighton on Saturday and back up to Essex the same night; back down to Brighton on Monday evening and back to Cardiff today, with a detour off the M4 to avoid long delays due to an accident, down to Winchester and back up via the Newbury bypass - which, incidentally, got blocked the Oxford side of the M4 going north and the Southampton side going south even as we were driving along it on the unaffected northwards stretch south of the M4.

I always feel compelled to read Zatanna's backward words and it takes far too long.

I do that too, Roger.

I haven't had a proper night's sleep in at least 4 weeks because I've been burning the candle at both ends for work and pleasure, but mostly work. On my Christmas visit I found my in-laws' foam mattress on one night and divan airbed on another both too uncomfortable to sleep on, so no rest there either. The flickering muscle of sleep deprivation in my forehead, which I've never experienced before, has still not gone away!

[Jim_Campbell]

No rest for the wicked, eh, Ush?

Cheers!

See, you try to avoid the consequences of reproduction by keeping a souwester on the little sailor, but nature finds a way to hit you up anyway.

Aaaaaargh!

Whilst walking up my street I saw the postman collecting his second bags worth of mail from the postal van parked over the road from our house.
I jokingly said "I hope you haven't left one of those sorry, you were out notes" to which he stood and thought for a micro second and then said "It's in the van".
I quickly started to sprint up to the vehicle whilst shouting but the BASTARD drove off. Now I have to go down the town tomorrow and collect the bloody things (it said on the card two packets).
I know that one is a present for a relative but the second I think may be one of those New Mongoose Dredd books, (not the game) as when I was down town I noticed whilst checking my account, that the Book Depository had taken the appropriate amount out for the first book!

Was it by any chance this same fella: http://2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,25797.msg477572.html#msg477572?

I wonder why!

Nice one House of Usher

We have to keep the postmen sweet. They have power over us! 

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I was nice to the one on foot, this time. It's the van driver who better watch out, I shall be going down to the collection place about 12:00ish

I put my boxers on back to front today.

I bet they don't smell as bad as Victoria Wood's belated return to TV sketch comedy.
