See, this is why everyone needs a Kim.

If I had a Kim, we could get so much more stuff done. Assuming we didn't just bicker and/or make out with other. Maybe not everyone needs a Kim...

Has a Kim

(Couldn't resist)

She not only fettled 90% of the annoying bathroom plumbing/tapfail but she appears to have nuked the carpets with the uberhoover and is going to fettle me some gloves and repair my favourite work trousers so I don't have to buy new ones quite so soon!

In Other Good news, it seems that the antibiotics I've been on for 1.5 days are kicking in as I feel substantially less shit and while still gurgly my abdomen is doing a better job of functioning without groaning and being annoying!

<puts hand up hesitantly>

No offence, etc, but I'm quite happy to have a MFWHTBAB, who provides all my fettling and making out needs....

So that's one less clone you have to make!

Can't afford a Kim. They need expensive bikes.

I have a Mrs. Wow. I gave her an expensive bike and she has knitted me a new hat. They are both the same colour.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #4756 on:** 13 January, 2012, 05:51:01 pm »

Which - Mrs Wow and the hat?

My new bike (a Whyte Charing Cross) has finally arrived - woop! Ordered it about 3 months ago as a 30th pressie for myself but they had trouble sourcing one of the components. Now I need to remove the pie plate/dork disc and bell, but I'm not sure i have any screwdrivers up here.

Any suggestions for a name? Not that i normally name my bikes... I was thinking Sharon, since it sounds vaguely like Charing.

Also I don't need costly bikes, just costly tractors and electric car stuff, and lathes and mills, and more tools and stuff.

Well done them!

It's interesting that not many seasons ago (4?), Southend and Swansea were neck-and-neck at the top of one or other of the divisions and, apparently, the Swansea crowd took to Southend for their style of playing when they went to Wales.

Southend are now 3 divisions below Swansea!

A group of geology students are out on a field trip.
One student asks the tutor "Is that a fluvial glacial deposit or a moraine?"
"You were right the first time, it is a fluvial glacial deposit." replied the tutor.
