I thought I smelled something!

I was so confused when the article started mentioning the EU. Then it clicked.

It was really rude to me! I shouldn't have told it I'm a special education teacher.

(It was actually still quite sweet)

There's a great podcast about this called Did Titanic Sink? It's entertaining as well as interesting

Good vid, lots of nostalgia. But i think Duke Nukem 3d should be in there. And Blood!

Not received, but given...

One Christmas, I was truly skint. No way I could afford to buy even half eddecent pressies for everyone, so I decided to buy the worst presents I could find instead. I found a £1 shop that was having a '25% off' sale. I bought my vegetarian sister in law a glue based mouse trap, I bought my dad some cleaning spray for car seat leather (his car had fabric seats), I got my brother a feather duster.

On Christmas eve I laid the groundwork by saying, "I didn't have a lot to work with this year, but I think I've done pretty well!".

On Christmas morning, I asked to give out ny presents first and bigger them up again with ,"I put anlot of thought into this and I think you're all going to be very happy!". I gave out the presents and watching them open them with an expectant, wide eyed grin, like "I did good, right?".

It went perfectly. A slight awkward pause while they checked my expectant face, then everyone burst out laughing. They loved the joke, we were all happy. I have fonder memories of that morning than other times when I was able to give out actually good presents.

I love Discworld!

By which I mean, what was the phrase?

Also this is the second similar post I've seen recently. I think heblast one was, "iPhone users, why do you love your iPhone more than Android?" Or something. Made me suspicious of it being an ad. At the very least, I didn't think a second thread was needed.

I don't think it's as bad as it used to be, though.
