but did your team win John?
Yes they did, in fact Coventry are top of the 'Championship League' (the old first div whatever) That position might be short-lived if Palace or Ipswich win tomorrow! Well, a reason to be slightly grump-less. Me too, Celtic 5, Hearts 0  |

I don't know about this "ironing" business though. Is it really necessary?
No Richard, it isn't...  |

No Richard, it isn't... I'd be the first to agree - it isn't. However, it makes everything look so much nicer.  |

"Sure Milly, but there's no point in ironing one's socks... (footnote: see Biroc's wife...!?!)..." Ah right. Well I don't iron socks or underwear so perhaps I'm not a complete saddo after all? Ooh - and I don't iron towels either because they always go in the drier for 10 minutes or so to make them fluffy after they've been hung out. So it's just bedding and everything else then.  |

Not just me who qualifies for an NVQ in ironing |

I have an ulcer.
I also have a feeling that it's been a while since I had my teeth looked at and the dentist hasn't sent me his usual annual reminder... Have I been struck off?
Edit - the ulcer's in my mouth in case anyone's worried. I'll bonjella it tonight.

Not just me who qualifies for an NVQ in ironing OK, but maybe Milly's the only one with a PhD in it (and I have a couple of shirts that need attention if she's willing...) Best, Alistair |

Well there is! You only have to bung it in a machine you know - then go out or do something else while it's done. 5 minutes to peg it out or bung it into another machine and go out or do something else. Iron it sometime - because of course you do have more than one set of bedding.... I'm just going to peg out last night's, which washed whilst we had our lunch and I took him to the mini fairground up the road. I probably would not have been so fussy about it if I'd been dubbing my washing out in the river and beating it with a stone, but in these technological days it's possible to have this particular eccentricity without losing any of the "other life". |

ARGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! and ^&££@%?/!!! For those who noticed my e mail troubles on the Waffle Thread, I have now discovered from whence they come. I contacted my Service Provider(hah. Bitter laugh) and discovered that there is an `identified problem` and that it won`t be resolved until THE END OF SEPTEMBER !!! A WHOLE MONTH? During which time they intend to extract money from me for a service they are not providing. It beggers belief !
Can anyone recommend a company other than Talk bloody Talk? GRRRRR.

I'm with BT and haven't really had a problem with them (well, I've had a few problems, but they've been to do with my computer setup, not their broadband service). I gather that Talk Talk took on too many customers for broadband too quickly and have been regretting it ever since.
I've just had a wonderful experience in the post office. I was sending some parcels of scores and attempted to pay on my cash card. This is the cash card that I've had for five months now. My PIN didn't work. So I just kept trying it until the machine blocked my card. Thankfully, the counter staff were really nice and understanding and took all the cash I had on me while I ran home and wrote out a cheque for the balance. As I returned, I suddenly realised that the PIN I had been entering had been correct BUT REVERSED. Unlocking it seems to be fairly straightforward (I have to do it at a cash machine) but it means I'll have to nip into town this evening after coming back from dinner.
What makes me even more grumpy is that two months ago, I'd have phoned my girlfriend, told her the story, and we'd be having a laugh about what a pillock I am. Now that we're on this weird probation thing, I can't (or shouldn't) and it's not one of those stories that will work if you tell it in a few days time.
I'm going to go and clean the kitchen now.
GRUMP.
