A moment of madness...

Certainly not Huguenot! One has standards to maintain (low ones- but standards nevertheless).

And sorry to disappoint Narnia - it is the barmaid who is pregnant, not the Hobbit.

Oh my - it gets worse!

northlonder - absolutely right! i have often left my card in the machine and i have also walked away leaving my shopping bags behind....

today i left my suitcase on a train and when someone tried to return it to me, i insisted it wasn't mine (i was just testing them, i mean, i did take it off their hands eventually)

anyone else had moments of madness lately?

What ARE you on Katie43529?

Anyway, today I had to meet a lovely forumite outside G&B at 7.30 pm. Unfortunately, her time management skills leave much to be desired and she was late. I was very tired (had only had 2 hours' sleep the previous night) and decided to sit down...on the pavement, my back against the front of G&B. Still no lovely forumite...I got bored...and decided to entertain myself by saying "any spare change?" to passers by...just for the hell of it...

Then she arrived...

...and we had a lovely evening...

...(with my takings...)

The very last bit is a fib.

[woofmarkthedog]

Even I'm enthralled...

What will happen next?

W**F

[VeryBerryCherry]

The amount of times I have stood at my front door,

tapping in my Oyster Card

and wondering why the front door won't open!

I?ve tried to use my work access card on the oyster reader on the bus many a time.

[VeryBerryCherry]

mr VBC finds it hilarious that I unintentionally refer to those devices as, "Bluberries". I even do it at work when reporting an issue to IT. And now Mr VBC has a new job at this place, I often mix it up and refer to them as "Burberries" on alternate occasion. :-$

Talking of kiddy confusion I was obsessed by this place that Billy Idol used to sing about, "Hot Lemon City"... I had visions of lemon curd oozing everywhere.

My latest moment of madness: in the (no nonsense, serious) Drawing Room of ALL places!

I posted my two cents' worth and provided a link - which should have been for the very high brow sounding "Institute of Fiscal Studies" - only for another poster on the thread to subsequently point out (not without some element of mocking, I should add) that the link was in fact for a bottle of Sambuca! I.e. a bottle of booze of all things!

I had indeed earlier "cut and pasted" the URL for Sambuca for insertion in another thread, but somehow had not got around to actually doing it - must have got distracted. I can only assume that when I attempted to provide the link for the Institute of Fiscal studies, my computer remembered the Sambuca URL...

Of ALL the places on this forum for this to happen! Utterly mortifying!:-$

[VeryBerryCherry]

... and I wonder where the Sambuca url was for? ;-)

[Ladymuck]

*avoids eye contact with VBC*

:-$

[VeryBerryCherry]

*drums her fingers on desk and stares HARD at LM*

[Ladymuck]

*bursts out laughing and gives up*

OK, OK...it was destined for The Queen's Footie Thread (or as Quids calls it, the "pure filth" thread...LOL)...

[DJKillaQueen]

I was quite happy to be spared reading the IFS report in preference for a nice bottle of Sambucca.....

I can only assume LM that you had 'rimming' on your mind! >:D<

[Ladymuck]

Decorum Your Maj, decorum! This is not your Footie thread!! Kindly keep the filth in that thread duly ring-fenced.

*attempts to look completely serious*

[DJKillaQueen]

Like I am cause of the filth.....lmao....you are not called lady Muck for nothing....!

[karter]

You two really are mad. you billy no mates.

[DJKillaQueen]

>:D

My colleague rushed into work late this morning. As she was undoing her coat she realised that not only ahd she got her normal outfit on, but somehow had managed to put her arm inside another dress (which had been on the same hanger) and had effectively worn two outfits to work. :-$

[SeanMacGabhann]

oh dear VBC - I do hope there aren't "you don't have to be mad to work here but it helps" stickers around the places as well....

;-)

(there are people who actually change the "sent from my.." to Blueberry. I haven't met one in real life thankfully but I've seen their work)

Ha ha that just made me think there should be a sign saying "you don't have to be mad to post here, but it helps" (for the lounge)

(Speaking for myself of course :D)

*sent from my blueberry*

The "keep calm and carry on" posters are enough to make me question why I am still working here. These really are the kind of people that would say things like, "I'm totally crazy me". I can testify that they are mad, just not in the way they think they are.

anyhoos, I have moved on to my Burberry now, which I like to think is a lot cooler B)

No? :-S

No. :(
