Anything weird happened to you this year already?

[lozzyloz]

How Strange is that? Just as I was about to sip a cuppa, a great big sodding bluebottle just dive bombed into my boiling cup and died a slow horrible death! Anything weird happened to you this year already?

No it's an old one, but I was really looking forward to that cup of tea.

I know a spider who is of the opinion that they are.

He fricasees his and accompanies them with an organic pinot noir!

At least it was free range and lived a good life . . .

[mockney piers]

Clearly an East Dulwich spider, tsk, no doubt with millions of little spiders running around under his 8 feet.

I understand it was actually deeply troubled and was glad to go.

[lozzyloz]

No Dom, that was before a visit to a certain burger bar where it found some good old fashioned shit on the prep counter

[woodie]

yes, morrisons(digging people) dug up half our road/pavement. patched it back together and went away. Bit of a pain . about a week later theyve come back and they are digging it all up again. Think thars gold in this street?

Came home about 5:15pm on Sunday to find police all over the place following what I think was a stabbing on Sydenham High Street. If rumours are correct, the victim ran to the station to call for help on the emergancy line, so out road which leads to the station was a crime scene, and we wern't allowed in to our house, and were told we might not get back in that night.

Luckily after several hours in the pub, the police were gone, and we were able to go and pass out!

Then came in to work on Tuesday to a team meeting in which my manager announced he will be leaving. We asked where he was going only for him to look at my a bit weirdly before announcing that he would be going to the job that I was "pipped to" just before Christmas!!! Wouldn't mind, but he kept it totally quiet, and it sounds like it was a done deal before the interviews ever happened. He could have told me and saved me the bloody wasted day off for the interview!!!

That one wasn't so weird, but thought I'd get it off my chest.

Not sure I want to offend the cat owners of ED with arty pictures of their furry friends in a delicate pose on LL ;-)

Is that all the cat owners who are so careless with their moggies that they keep going missing? At least some pics of feline road-kill might enable some of these distraught owners to identify their wayward pussies and get closure on the whole thing? Bit more user friendly than going down to the kitty-morgue, having an assistant browse through all the refrigerated drawers before he pulls back a sheet from the body in order for the distraught owner to nod and sob hysterically:

"Yes, that's Snuggles!"

[Domitianus]

By the way, just in case you think I am heartless, the bluebottle in the photo, whose grisly fate has been plastered on this forum in fully techni-color detail was my pet, little Buzzy. He was great, he was! We used to sit on plates of meat together, vomiting and voiding. Aaah, the memories!

A friend of mine lost her glove on a a bus, she called up the bus people who said they'd call her back, and they did saying they had found it. She went to the depot that evening and found that

a) it was where they said it was

b) it was open and staffed

c) they had her glove.

most unlike public services if you ask me.

I dont believe a word of this, it could NEVER happen!

[citizenED]

Anything weird happen to me? Yes - I've had a cough. Never get ill over the Christmas period but felt grotty on New Years Eve and was in bed by 8pm. Still got the cough now. Hope it's not just that I'm showing my age.

It may be lack of sleep making you a bit run down after the new edition to you family!

I always neglected anything that was not entirely necessary after having a new baby, and slept whenever I got a chance!

[citizenED]

Oh God CWALD you may have a point, I totally forgot about that little geezer who waking me up three times a night. Sheesh, the bags under my eyes have their own Guccis!

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Maybe get family to take them overnight once in a while if you can too. It makes a massive difference!
