So what have you done today..?

  1. I left my cat with my brother last week whilst I went on holiday When I came back today, I called my brother to see when I could pick the cat up?

    My brother hesitated, then said, ''I'm so sorry, but while you were away, the cat died."

    I was obviously very upset about this and in no uncertain terms told him, ''You know, you could have broken the news to me better than that. When I called today, you could have said he was on the roof and wouldn't come down. Then when I called tomorrow, you could have said that he had fallen off and the vet was working on patching him up. Then when I called the third day, you could have said he had passed away.''

    To be fair to my brother, he thought about it and he apologised to me.

    "So how's Mum?" I then asked.

    "She´s on the roof and won´t come down"

    To be honest its going down far better than I was expecting......

  5. Well, you're never going to believe this – my datatool alarm has gone wrong. I didn't see that one coming, :Hilarious: lucky it didn't happen at Loomies on Sunday
     
  6. Alarms on bikes are not worth the aggro.
    Glad you got home ok then

  7. had a datatool on mine which constantly flattened the battery - binned it (the alarm, not the battery)
     
  8. I thought alarms always went wrong/caused problems.
    I thought that people put up with this for the peace of mind that having an alarm affords them. But it isn't free peace.
     
  9. That's getting stripped out within the week and is free to anyone who would like it - (Datatool 433) I lucked in going to the first post on visor down which said you can do a reset for 20 seconds pushing both buttons and it worked - but it's still toast
     
  10. I knew he had ESSEEEEEX in him.
     
  11. Nah.........I was telling them that they'll never reach the dizzy heights of God's Country ;)

  14. surely Alan is syndicated (or some other type of operation) ?

    Ask him how Michael´s doing at the service station ? - he always had a soft spot for him whilst staying in the Travel Inn, but he heard that he wasn´t allowed to handle money for some reason....
     
  15. They always do :(
     
  16. It's a record four parakeets on the bird table! Not sure I'll be able to get a picture though

  18. A guy at our Scottish factories lost his wife at the weekend, real nice guy too - she was only walking the dog, hit and run driver with previous D&D conviction, life is a bitch sometimes - only in her early 40's. Can comprehend what he and his 10 year old son are now going through.
