[i do hope that i typed it right...]

This post is also for testing purpose...

The section itself will be open for business asap [which should be rather soon anyway]....

Best Sickie Excuses:

I'm too upset to come in - my football team got relegated and I can't face the endless jibes from colleagues.



It was my stag night at the weekend. My nates stripped me naked, smothered me in glue, rolled me in feathers and then put me on a train to Edinburgh. I managed to get a very expensive taxi home but haven't managed to get all the glue and feathers off.



My boyfriend has gone on a two-day business trip with my keys. I can't leave the house or I won't be able to get back in.

And more:

There's a huge hole at the end of my road. No way will my car make it over the crater. And the public transport is just awful where I live.



My pet snake has gone missing and I have to find it before the neighbour does. She has a phobia of snakes and I don't think coming face to face with my boa constrictor would help matters.



The cat got run over by the milkman and I'm consoling the kids.



I have had a premonition that I will get knocked over by a bus if I come into work today.

And more:

A mini-typhoon is over my home and it's too dangerous for me to go outside. The bins just went flying down the road and my windows are really rattling.



Thieves broke into my house and stole all my work clothes - now I have to go shopping today to buy some new outfits.



The decorator painted the windows shut. It's really hot and stinks of chemicals and now I feel sick.

And finally:

I accidentally put my work pass in the wash. It has clogged up the washing machine and now my kitchen is flooded.



I was bitten by a monkey on holiday in Gibraltar and now my arm has got infected.

kow: i'll have to remember them... could be handy...

sure beat the alarm clock not ringing or/and the headaches [err... if anyone who knows me in RL reads this, i _did_ have a headache that week... honest...]...

talk later...

Another popular one: I was kidnapped by aliens on my way to work.




I heard that one on the radio.




JA

yep.... when it allegedly happened to a guy in france years ago... people thought he wanted a week off work...

My in built mouse is going hypo and then gets stuck as though it has got arthritis.

it's history related... haven't got a history thread _yet_ so might be of some use in here....

GAWD. you have had it rough eh? lolpmp..well my house has just had a load of windows thru, thanks to the drug dealer who just happened to do it cos i said his partys were a bit noisy after listening to them for 3 weeks solid!
So the dog is still shaking, we have bits of glass in our toes, my three piece suit is still full of bits of shard, that seem to have embedded themselves in it!!!
Ihave been offered by the nice council people, to go and live in a hostel, while i get re-housed...no way..its bad i know.....but thats a bit too low for me Ruby

hi ruby...

i know what you mean unfortunately... a hostel is _never_ the best solution... especially if it takes ages before they re-house you...

hopefully something will be sorted out soon...

loup

JA

“Recognition is something you get when you make a mistake.”

"It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens."
From 'Death' 1975. (Woody Allen)

"Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife."
"Marry me and I'll never look at another horse!"
"A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke."
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
"Why was I with her? She reminds me of you. In fact, she reminds me more of you than you do!"
"Women should be obscene and not heard."
"Either he's dead or my watch has stopped."
"I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."
"I must confess, I was born at a very early age."
"I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it."
