The only time I seem to be in that area of the Brig these days is because i'm going to McLarens, which seems to be happening more and more often.

The Indian Restaurant round Sunnyside Road seems to be irritating this woman after she took her family to sample the "3 courses for £3:50 deal" which led to this reply from the owner which has now been shared more than 20,000 times.

The owner was right...she has no shame.

Does she expect huge portions on a taster menu? and even then £3.50 is incredibly cheap.....stupid woman.

You would be lucky to get a burger and chips out Burger King for £3.50 these days Syl.

You always get someone who wastes it for everyone.

Hate greedy buggers like that!

My morning moan.
Just knocked a three scoop 4 raw egg protein shake all over the Kitchin. I'm off to Ikea to pick up some bits for me and my daughter so needed a hearty breakfast and cannot eat this early, oh what a mess.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

My moan.....kitchen tap started leaking at the base, OH couldn't fix it....bought new mixer taps but needed a plumber to connect the pipes.
He was half an hour late, took him less than 20 minutes, and charged us £80.....no receipt either.
Bastard.

My poor mattress :( I have numb fingers so often go to pick something up and knock it over, that was the messiest yet though. Or maybe it was when I dropped the huge casserole in the glass dish on the floor , or when I shook the sauce bottle for the kids not realising they had taken the lid off.

Ive even typed into my dinner a few times. I have my keyboard on my lap and sometime my dinner on there instead while reading forums or Fb You can guess the rest

Unfortunately with this job buying the tools to do it would have cost a fair bit, and OH is a bit cackhanded too, so.....

Funniest was my ex in the days when the top of the milk would go very thick and not pour. He tried to pour it and nothing happened, so he walked into the living room where me, the kids, his parents and siblings were and said "watch this" Then proceeded to pour a pint of milk over his head.

He walked out saying "that was not supposed to happen". We were all looking at each other with puzzled looks and a what the hell did he think would happen kind of look

Still makes me roar when I think about it, cant see for tears right now

Answering the door and expecting to get your parcel, only to be accosted by Jehovah Witnesses.

I was expecting new slacks and a top, not someone reading the bible.

Thankfully my parcel came later and I appeased the JW's by saying I would read their leaflets, I won't read them though.

I'm quite happy being a Presbyterian and It means if I get hit by a bus, I can have a blood transfusion.

Happy Days!!

Out of curiosity...

If you want to take communion in the Church Of England, do you have to join the church?

When I wanted to take communion in the Church Of Scotland, I had to have weekly meetings with the Minister for a month.

Then make a public profession of faith.

I assume if you have been confirmed then it would not be a problem, not sure about Presbyterians, but the CoE is in joint communion with Methodists.
