Promises, Promises!! I'm Still Waiting For Your Birthday Treat!!!

I refer to a comment you made on Mark of Arabia. I'd expected that I was in for a 'right going over from you.' It is yet to materialise & while I've cut down on the fags, reduced my tea intake & starting look after my physique, I wonder now it is all worth it.

Actually, I'm stopping there, the above could be read in the so much the wrong way. I have indeed cut down on the fags, why I don't know but maybe something to do with throwing my butt (cigarette) in the bin, locking my office door & heading out for lunch. When I got back I thought it was just the normal daily roll call but the sirens were heard & smoked was coming from the vicinity I realised not.

Fortunately, it had burnt only a little of the owner's portrait on the wall, melted little of a scale model of one of the largest oil refineries the company has ever built and there was still half of it left, I'd dropped the packet running up in the stairs to prevent our fire warden for making short work of the glass door with the sledgehammer.

I sat back down, flicked off the lights & waited to everyone else to file in before commenting that I couldn't find anyone to make me a cup of tea!!!! Now I feel like a schoolboy having to hide behind the back of the building while others watch me, mumbling under their breath - to think that we are actually paying that guy to stand there & smoke, what is this company thinking of.

That's maybe way I've cut down but don't try the first bit at home.

Indeed - but one thing at a time. Still working on understanding half of what you write in your blogs and working out what % is true. It's too late and I have a migrane coming on. Uncle Al is out bowling tonight with the boys and a new set of size five competion bowls.

I know you're got a headache, sure you told me earlier. Sure I know you've got a headache, you told me earlier. Half my postings are true, half may be wee bits of stories, I can't figure out which is which, so don't honestly expect you to do so. As you told me earlier you'd a headache, I fully understand!! By the way, I'm not taking the mick about it, as bad as arthritis in one's neck.
