You could be on to something there Hoggy .... I think if they've done it they should own up .... or face the consequences.


Kangaroo Court maybe.

I'm sure Bel has done something stoopid enough to haunt her quiet reflexion time ..... I love the way the really dumb things spring to the top of your mind when it has nothing better to think about.

mmmh! like the time when I was a television engineer, I went back in to the shop to report some swine had nicked my vanand 10 mins later, remembered where I'd parked it

Should I mark that in the dairy, M'lud?

In the dairy? On the side of a Fresian, maybe?

It's been so long since we've been in court, I was pondering having an away day


Diary =

Pen =

Clerk =

Why are both lil and her diary sticking their tongues out?

That's so I know where the pages are


Although it can make the pages a bit sticky

Well done Prof


So far only Bel has avoided the question ..... and maybe Lil who volunteered the stupidity of another family member.



Where do we stand if the clerk of the court has to appear in court as a defendent then???

objection! volunteering the stupidity of another family member is out of order, as some can not appear to defend themselves. Like me mam who once, after boiling some eggs went and threw the pan of water on the open fire and not in the sink and as the steam cleared, "now why did I do that"

VV is indefensible anyway...

That's it settled then - Bel and Lil in court at 10.30pm.

I have another VV story you might like??

ears

My Matt!!

That's a bit late, I can't promise I'll still be awake then.

I once went to the large shopping centre with my mum. For some reason, I had a huge amount of money with me, about DM 400, I think. I don't recall what I needed it for. Now in our local newspaper there were weekly reports about thieves in said shopping centre, so to be safe, I put my wallet in the sleeve of my coat (it had rubber band, so kept really tight. At some point, a man bumped into me. I didn't think much of it until I was at checkout and searched for my purse. I couldn't find it. I panicked, then remembered the man bumping into me. I immediately knew that he had done it on purpose and stolen my purse. I went through the shop, looking for him. He was still there. I went up to him and told him that he had bumped into me and that I was now missing my money. He said he hadn't a clue what happened to my money, and there wasn't really anything I could do about it. I guess I was lucky that he took my accusation so lightly. I went back to where my mother waited for me, and then suddenly I remembered that my purse was in my sleeve.

OMG Bel - you were so lucky he didn't take offence and set about you -- that's what would have happened over here.

What an eejit .... you've just reminded me of another one of mine.

It was the last morning of our holiday and we were sitting in the lobby of the hotel having left our cases in the luggage room. We had a couple of hours to kill before the coach picked us up and we were just checking that we had everything.

The big lad said .... you've got my passport haven't you .... I said yes and waved it at him .... but ..... I don't have mine - I have to collect it from the desk.

I went to the reception and returned our key and asked for my passport. The bloke checked and said .... No passport. I protested - I'd left my passport with reception at check-in and they were responsible for it ..... the bloke checked again, he then got some other blokes to go and check the safe. Still no passport. He insisted that I go to the luggage room and check in my suitcase. I did. Still no passport.

By this time I'd been complaining loudly for about 45 mins and other passengers were sympathising with me and grumbling about careless Spaniards etc .....

Reception refused to take any responsibily for the passport and daughter who was about 10 was starting to cry and panic that I wouldn't be allowed to go home.

Anyhoo, the big lad insisted that I check the document folder one last time before looking for our travel rep and contacting the Embassy.

You know of course that the passport was there I'd forgotten that I collected it from reception on the first day of our holiday (I normally leave it with them because it's safest!!) ....

What a wally .... I had to tell the other passengers that the receptionist found it fallen down the back of the cabinet.

At least you got to go home,dear ..it could have turned out much worse..international incident and all of that...

You're right of course MS ... and I was so convinced that the hotel had lost/stolen my passport I was quite prepared to take it to international incident status.

The dumb stuff I've done is too embarrassing to post...and lacks the basic humor of the content already here.

But live and learn,eh???


Good to see you by the way!!!

I'm sorry MS, that is no excuse you have to post something you did that was dumb ... really dumb .... the sort of thing that makes you cringe even now when you think about it. Amd that's an order.


Nice to see you too.
