Why aren't weekends longer. Two days just
isn't long enough.
I see that t****r Blane has come out of his
box. Perhaps everyone will shut up about him now.
Vile Jelly 20 October 2003 09:56
Bah! Since we have to work them, we say why do weekends have to exist at all?
It's like bank holidays. All the 9 to 5ers moan that they don't get enough.
Well, try getting none at all and then you'll know what servitude is!
PS. Blaine can't have come out of his box because he was never in it in the
first place. The man's a bloody illusionist for gawd's sake. Definition of
illusion: something that appears to be real but isn't.
Anyway I believe Simeon Stylites (or some such) spent 44 years living on top
of a pole so Blaine has got a long way to go before he impresses me!
Gill Richards 20 October 2003 10:09
Yeah, but you get time off during the week
when we have to grind our fingers on the keyboard so it works both ways. I'm
not fussed about Bank hols. They do mean it's lovely and quiet round our
way as all the families go out!
I'm glad you mentioned that cos i can't see
what being frozen/stuck on a pole/in a box has got to do with magic. As you
say, was he really there, and how much thin food did he have stuck under that
blanket?
Never heard of this Simeon bloke, when was
this?
Vile Jelly 20 October 2003 10:23
Well, we generally work 6 days out of 7, only get 20 days holiday entitlement
and no bank holidays, so, I think that adds up to a total of 72 days off work
all year. By my calculations the 9 to 5ers get 104 just in weekends before
they even have to count holidays and BH's.
Actually, I suspect that the blanket was probably made out of that high
protein etc. stuff they give astronauts. He probably just had to suck it for
10 minutes a day to get his recommended daily intake.
I think (it's only a very vague memory) he was one of the very (first few
centuries AD) early christian nutters.
Gill Richards 20 October 2003 11:12
you'll have to get a 9 to 5 job then.....
That's a good idea! Do you think it changed
colour so he know where to suck it next!
Ah yes, vague recollection from early school
years now.
Vile Jelly 20 October 2003 11:30
Believe me, I'm trying. Do you know how many 9 to 5 jobs there are down here?
And, anyway, both of them are taken!
Dunno, that might have given the game away. Maybe he just had day 1, day 2,
etc embroidered on the inside.
Gill Richards 20 October 2003 12:24
Perhaps you could get a job in the new
library. Or a nice boring job in a bank.
Should've had a patchwork quilt then.
Vile Jelly 20 October 2003 13:34
Are you kidding? What's a bank? What's a library? This is England's third
world, you know.
Would have given the game away, methinks. Or, hang on, maybe he used his
powers of illusion to make the patchwork quilt look like an ordinary blanket.
See, the man's magic!
Gill Richards 20 October 2003 13:39
i know, i know, but i also know that you have
such things. i frequent one of them regularly when i visit (bet you can't
guess which).
So he is. Still a bit of a t****r though.
Vile Jelly 20 October 2003 15:22
Ah, but every free-loading bugger already in those august institutions is
busy trying to wangle themselves a posting to St. Ives so no one else gets a
look-in.
Quite a lot of one actually. Fortunately, he inflicted himself on London and
people that watch 'reality' TV and so they deserved it. So no harm done
(except to the nutritious blanket).
Gill Richards 20 October 2003 15:26
hadn't thought of that. the waiting list must
be huge!!
It was on the news this morning, the fact
that he's out. i couldn't believe the number of people who had gone to see
him. He's in hospital now, probably at our expense...
Vile Jelly 20 October 2003 16:20
Correctomundo!
Only if he's in the Priory. Let's face it, he's had nothing better to do than
drink himself to oblivion while his stunt dummy did the hard work.
Gill Richards 22 October 2003 08:41
Always makes me smile, calling that place the
Priory. Makes you think of monks and peaceful surroundings to recover in. But
Monks were the biggest brewers of beer and a right load of greedy b******s.
Clever stunt dummy though, it moved a lot.
Vile Jelly 22 October 2003 16:38
Oh come, come, m'dear. Haven't you seen the Lord Of The Rings films? They can
do anything with CGI these days.
PS. Did you know it was the monks from whom we got the phrase 'small beer'?
Gill Richards 23 October 2003 08:09
So they can.
PS Yes. brewed for children.
