disappointments

[byron]

(sigh) Every day last week I skipped delightedly down my drive clapping my hads and squealing to the Postie "mail for me?" Every day that my Burgees have failed to arrive my little face has crumpled, first a tear runs down my cheek then I am weeping uncontrollably and inconsolable. The many free samples ranging from sanitary towels to coffee that arrive each day from the 'free samples' website provide some consolation but the Burgees will stop me stamping my foot petulantly and throwing my toys around my room.

I've been trying to contact the hlb's customer services dept for over a week, but as usual with all these dodgy mail order companies, no luck. Tried trading standards. The reply "You sent how much, for what" then the phone went quiet apart from someone crying with laughter!!

Does any one know if the Burgee will be strong enough to withstand the rigours of the British Winter, or would it be best to keep it indoors and not fly it till Spring 2003?

Dont know what you lot are complaining about. For a lousy 15 quid or "meazilly" 12 quid for skin flints. You've had fun for weeks. Now if it just sort of turned up the next day it would be a bit of an anticlimax now wouldn't it. No just like the queen mum, it has to lie in state for a week or two, to give proper respect. Or were you expecting me to just chuck it in a bag and throw it in the post box!!
No. It's got to be done with proper dignity, pomp and cerimony. With air safety cirtificate granted.

Ok I'll give the bloke a good kicking. I'll murder him and hang him. I'll thump him as well.

What makes you think you will have it by spring 2003?

The thing about men and fish is one is always trying to eat the other.

Re: And another thing.

Pauline and others have complained that they cant understand me. Well. I'll have it known that Mr CC Scot commented on the fact, that I was perfectly understandable. Even finishing off sentences for me most of the time. Mind you he does come from Preston, a proper English place north of Watford Gap. So had a better standard of education than you get down tother end.

Re: And another thing.

Aah but I have it on the best information that you only understood each other after a skinfull of apple juice or something! and anyway you couldnt hear each other properly because of the noise of the rain lashing down.

Re: And another thing.

That wasn't rain lashing, it was teeth gnashing and tears falling in despair of ever actually receiving a burgee! Hearts have broken over less.
