Tea? (Part 1)

[Speicher]

Galaxy Choc Egg? anyone? no-one?

oh good, three for me then.

 

[Landslide]

Landslide, yes, felted insoles sound good!

I'm gonna have to live up to my proclamations now...

The plan is to just knit some gert big oblongs, felt 'em, then cut 'em to shape.

 

[Chuffy]

<stomps in>
I need tea. Inna bukkit. With cake. There are too many ignorant, thick, arrogant, selfish, stupid morons out there and I don't have time to go round and bite them all. !

 

[cookiemonster]

What's happened Chuffy?

<hands chuffy builders tea and a packet of choc hob nobs>

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Yer what's up Chuffy? Let us know who's pi$$ed you off and we'll sort em out!!!

 

[cookiemonster]

Yeah.

I need the practice.

<cracks knuckles>

 

[Chuffy]

Make that a bukkit of gin, hold the tonic. I've found more people to bite.

Bottom line is that I work in local govt and the world is full of clueless twats armchair experts who know **** all everything and are happy to share their witless bollocks wisdom with us. The country is infested with them and I want to bite every single one of the bastards.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

OK say no more. I used to work for the Civil Service & I understand your frustration 110%. I am sharpening my teeth right now!!

Sounds just like the NHS Trust I used to work for in London.

Until I left to head back over Hadrians Wall before I committed mass murder.

I have never met so many selfish, self serving, 2 faced, hypocritical, lying backstabbers ever in my life. And people wonder why the NHS is ****ed.

 

[Chuffy]

Nice work sir! It's time for the public sector to bite back...

Ah. It's mostly the public that I want to bite. And the right-wing press.

Sounds about right. Have you felted before? I haven't done it myself. Are you planning to knit in wool, and wash them hot? I gather the trick is to wash in increasingly hot water until you get desired shrinkage, not to go straight for very hot and end up with mini insoles...

When we lived in Belfast, there was a time when Mum didn't like to go into the city centre, so couldn't get decent haberdashery stuff. A friend asked what she could send from England, and Mum said, "felt, for making soft toys". So this friend went into a department store and asked an assistant "Could you tell me where I can get felt?"

Chuffy, have some more tea. The steam coming out of your ears is dispersing nicely...

I can't move. Someone seems to have balanced a kettle on my head and it's just starting to boil.

Oh, let's not start the balancing things on people thing again...

Boiled! Tea? anyone?

 

[Chuffy]

Did I miss something?

Boiled! Tea? anyone?

How kind. Builders, heavy on the tannin and two heaped sugars please.
