Ingram85 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Lebkuchen. I've also, due to good behaviour and calm restraint, gone over two months without getting in trouble on here. The happy pills are working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I've also, due to good behaviour and calm restraint, gone over two months without getting in trouble on here. Blatantly trying to provoke someone and goad them in to a row. Shamelessly trying to incite trouble. Typical. lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Another year of successful residency in Turkey sorted out. Too bad the country is going backwards but I'll celebrate with a massive breakfast plate and copious amounts of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I managed to break the end of my finger and almost chopped off the entire tip at work today. They reckon at least a week to mend so hopefully I've got the whole of Xmas week off! Just means I have to type and wipe left handed for a bit.

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted December 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2014 So we've just about come to the end of our contract on Malta, we're at the long triumphant emotional goodbyes stage. The ex owner of the company has come across for a what is basically a freebie party few days and the pair of us decide that rather than actually do any work we'll take the hire car and drive up the island to find his old house from the 1970's. The area has obviously changed a fair bit in the intervening 40 years but we cruise the general area and then 'bam' there it is 'muuuu, stop the car stop the car, there it is, my old house, muuuu'. (Imagine Toast of London, but as a pensioner). We stop the car outside a large detached and walled house. All quite impressive and in keeping with what he had described. He promptly gets out of the car, rattles the handle of the large solid double gates but they are locked. That's no obstacle, he props a stone against the wall, stands on the stone, reaches high and starts clicking his camera blindly above head height over the wall to get photos into the garden and of the house. A little rude I thought. Then the big metal gate creaks open and a slightly startled young woman in a bikini asks us what we are doing. She was lying there when the camera appeared over the wall! John explains this used to be his house back in the day, so he was getting some photo's to show the wife. Oh, Maltese girls visibly relaxes and invites us in for a proper look! No messing about, John's through the gate so I have to follow. Straight into the house, John asks if they've done work as the kitchen used to be a bit smaller. She doesn't think so, she's lived there all her life, she is sixteen and doesn't remember any building work. Ah, but John was here 40 or 50 years ago so there might well have been. She then volunteers the information that her parents are both out but she can phone and ask them. No, no, don't go to any bother says John and asks if there is still a sea view from the balcony. Oh yes, that's my room do you want to see? Yes! Says John, to the 16 year old that has told us her parents are out. We all three of us troop up the stairs and I'm now beginning to feel slightly uncomfortable with the whole thing. 'Excuse the mess' she says as her bed is covered in clothes and books and wotnot. We go straight through and out on to the balcony. John gets his phone out and calls his missus. 'Daphne! Daphne! You'll never guess where I am? I'm on the balcony where I proposed to you 50 years ago!'. Daphne is suitably impressed, the girl thinks it's wonderfully exciting and romantic and takes his camera off him and takes photo's of him on her balcony. John claims that he used to stand on the balcony wall and jump in to the pool below. I'm dubious of this claim as the pool is a good 3 or 4 metres away and it would need to be a truly impressive leap not to kill yourself. But I smile. I'm uncomfortable. Anyway, time goes on, we have an exhaustive photo record of the house, we have photo's of the girl (now wearing a top and joggers thankfully), and John has exchanged contact details. We decline the offer of tea, we decline the offer to stay until the parents get home. Give a cheery goodbye and leave. We get in the car, John is ecstatic with having had such a great time with so many memories. I engage first gear and drive off. No more than 50 or 60 metres down the road John suddenly shouts: 'No, hang on! Stop! That's it there! I thought the other one was all a bit wrong.' He has sworn me to absolute and total secrecy regarding the whole escapade. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
