Yes, I finally got my compensation cheque through – all £3080 of it 🙂

So there I was, in my local bank (Barclays) putting in in my account. The teller stamped my paying-in book, then said “Would you like to put some of this in a savings account?”

My reply?

“With the banks in the mess they are – do you REALLY think that’s staying here a minute longer than it needs to?”

Yep, I’m going shopping next weekend 😀

Of course, I’ve told all my mates about it – most of whom promptly asked for a beer/percentage/loan, which leads me to the important question: “What am I going to do about the begging letters?”

Keep sending them of course 😉

Oh, and Spurs lost – but it doesn’t matter – I’ve got 3 grand

EDIT: You know when you get one of those “gotta have chocolate” moments? well, I just had one so I bought a Double Decker bar. Reading the ingredients in the multitude of languages, I noticed one of the languages has a bit which reads: ‘leite em pó’ which almost says ‘let ’em poo’

Yes, I know – I should go do some work…it just amused me is all and I thought I’d share it.

‘NOTHER EDIT: 1 bite in and I no longer want chocolate – could it be something to do with the ‘let ’em poo’ bit?

Hmm…wonder if Ebay will let me sell a slightly used Double Decker?
