Yes, I finally got my compensation cheque through – all \u00a33080 of it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
My reply?<\/p>\n
“With the banks in the mess they are – do you REALLY think that’s staying here a minute longer than it needs to?”<\/p>\n
Yep, I’m going shopping next weekend \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
Keep sending them of course \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Oh, and Spurs lost – but it doesn’t matter – I’ve got 3 grand<\/p>\n
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 p\u00f3’ which almost says ‘let ’em poo’<\/p>\n
Yes, I know – I should go do some work…it just amused me is all and I thought I’d share it.<\/p>\n
‘NOTHER EDIT: 1 bite in and I no longer want chocolate – could it be something to do with the ‘let ’em poo’ bit?<\/p>\n
Hmm…wonder if Ebay will let me sell a slightly used Double Decker?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
