Peggy's Mundane Thread

This is the kind of thing that reaffirms my belief that women should not be allowed to touch any kind of machinery. Remote controls, computers, the central heating dial and now petrol pumps. Leave it to us men love

I can work all of those things perfectly competently, thank you. And I can knit and sew, and use cotton wool balls to make a passable picture of a sheep (passable to a four year old, that is).

And I can put flat pack furniture together.

So there.

Can you dear? Good for you.

Can you tuck your todger between your legs and pretend to be a woman though? Ah see you're not as clever as you thought are you? Anyway don't you worry you're pretty little head, you make us a nice pot of tea and it will all be fine.

I've discovered a new theorem (well I think it's a theorem):

Breakfast cereal + (dinner of soup + fruit salad) + (tea of curry + more fruit) = a preponderance of bowls in the washing up

I might test it again today.

just rinse the bowl under the tap and use it again, it all goes to the same place. Have one "proper" wash up in the evening.

Wash up once a day? Every day?

Two or three times a week usually does it!

I got a new job today. Had the interview on Friday, and was offered the job this morning. Spent the afternoon sorting out contract details, and all the other stuff that needs sorting when you start a new job.

Feeling insufferably smug tonight

Many congrats Andy.

I quite fancy a change of direction myself... summat like Mystery Shopper for Wetherspoons. Or maybe 'Sunbed Standards Officer' for Thomas Cook...

Congratulations Andy. I suppose this new job has loads of freebies you sponger. Next thing you'll want is a free pasty in your booth.

My mother's staying the night so have used my bad back excuse and left her downstairs with the missus, who ain't happy about it . Mum is a bit mutton and shouts a lot, needs subtitles on the telly and only likes quiz shows and heartbeat. She's lovely with the little boy though so I shouldn't take the Mick.

Free Pastys in the Booth? Pah, We get free seats in the Directors Box, pre-match food and drink, a car parking space in the inner car park, and a pass that allows us to come and go as we please, 7 days a week.

Oh no, sorry, I'm thinking of someone else

Well done, Andy. But ...

Can I just remind all you good people that this is supposed to be a mundane thread, with the emphasis on mundane?

Sorry Peggy

Popped into the Brit for a couple of pints after the game. They were having a real ale festival. I hadn't heard of any of the ales on offer, and after sampling a couple, I understand why.

Been carrying out extensive testing on the masking tape (four rolls for £1 op Poundland innit).

I'm pleased to announce that it does exactly what I want it to do: masks the required area effectively, but without sticking very much. Probably not much good for vertical surfaces, then.

Don't sound good enough for parcels.

No. I find parcel tape's better for parcels.

While duck tape's better for ...

Do you use sticky tape on sticks? You could make a raft or a shelter (for a tramp)?

Good point. Excellent point, in fact.

Now I need to find out what a sello is.

a stringed instrument

But why anyway would want to use tape on a bottle of whisky is beyond me.

Had some paid work today. Unusually, not only did it not finish early, it actually finished late. But although I don't lose any money if I finish early, I do get paid the extra when things run over.

Anyway. While doing said work, I was able to read. 250 pages, in fact.
