Just been treated to 20mins of a spitfire doing low passes, loops etc, all
viewable from my bedroom window.

If only they'd blooming well advertise these things, as I could have walked
across the airfield for a better view.

 

Well we just got 'treated' to being buzzed by a Gendarmerie nationale
helicopter ..

I don't feel at all 'safer' to see government helicopters hovering over
Paris.

Not you maybe, but we're all happy that Jonny's safety is assured
between now and 22:00BST Saturday.

 

I thought the lazy fuckers were all on strike today, or is that just the
railways ?

 

Police and gendarmerie can't go on strike.

You don't have a decent telephoto lens, then?

 

Half my staff has been stranded in Forrin because the Frogs stopped
running Eurostars.

They wouldn't be doing it if France was in the final.

or even the ability to crop big chunks of blue sky...

 

No and no, twas a hasty leap up the stairs and shoot through the window when

@news.individual.de:

I think they must have some sort of phenotyping matrix that scans you as
you enter the shop as I have a similar experience. Categories probably
include:

partner in Next Outlet
kids in Bowlplex
lonely saddo
****
Which? reader
internet shopper in for a looksie
hobo in for a warm
kerching, extended warranty mug

 

Do have the grace to post something funny. Only you are drifting towards
fanaticism at the level of Jim Davidson.

Ah, cash. They don't like that.

 

Of course.

It's just that when someone does it to you you run away and hide behind a
killfile.

Where's the fun in that[1], eh? EH?

[1] for me

 

I'm not into UKRM-lite. I prefer the full fat version.

 

No

 

Do your best/worst. Entertain me, just don't hide.

No dinner invitation this week then?

 

Well, if my memory serves me right, I was invited to partake in a post
padlock busting celebration with you & Platy.

 

I'm sure there will be other opportunities. Keys are such ephemeral
objects.

My interview was ok but I obviously didn't impress as much as the other,
possibly internal, applicant...

 

See what money in the bank does for a man!

 

was it NHS too?
