I am in my sandbagged emplacement at my place of employment. There's a discreet knock on my door.
"YES?" The door creaks open. An enormous, voluptuous Polish woman, perhaps six foot two, pokes her head in. I work with her, cooperatively, and like her. I steady myself for a delicious onslaught of rolling Rs. "Szo. Why you arrre hidinque in herrre?" "Because I can." Her laughter is like a huge, beautiful wave of orchestral music, rolling over me. My day is made.  |

2 girls on the tram today. Aged about 20, looked like students.
"...and they're going to watch Faulty Towers". "What's that?" "I think it's a comedy series. It's supposed to be really funny. With John Cleese." "Supposed to be funny..." 30-something man standing nearby, mumbles to no-one in particular: "Amazing..." (And yes, she pronounced it "Faulty", not "Fawlty".) ----------------------------- "It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity. After that, the next step is to become a small power itself." --GK Chesterton, "Heretics" |

just overheard myself: "who do i charge for the poles and bum rails?"

Member |
I know you meant "whom" really. Still, seems like a reasonable question. Whom DO you charge?

A perfectly healthy pre-teen, with all working limbs.
"I couldn't be bothered to pack any shampoo, conditioner, or mousse. It would just weigh me down" Seriously, folks. Just how heavy is this shit that it "weighs" you down? Was der hahn ?!?!? |
|||
|
Member |
Unless they were going camping or hiking, in which case shampoo might be nice, depending on the length of the trip, but optional, and conditioner and mousse are definitely in the weighing down category.

For the trip to Germany I had to search high and low for tiny little bottles with which to pack shampoo and conditioner so we didn't have to pack the big bottles. That was for the wife of course, I can use whatever the hotel gives us, or the bar of soap if they don't provide shampoo, or when all else fails hand soap from the sink will do for me.
It is the benefit of sporting the "Jason Statham" look. Not that I like to rough it, I am a total hotel snob and I don't camp. -- |
