Now im not what you call a naturally witty person, but even if i do have to admit it myself i do occasionally come out with a rather brilliant 'one liner'. There are some people who think that my jokes are not funny, and groan or look puzzled when i say something that i think is quite funny. For example, and can i just point out for the record it will probably not be as funny writing it down, but if you were there at the time, i hope that you would have seen the humour in my comment. Ok the situation happened at work about 2 weeks ago. Chris had been given a old £10 note from his sister by mistake. Although its quite obvious the differences in the new and old note, he pointed out that one £10 note had a picture of Charles Dickens and the other one had a picture of Charles Darwin. I turned round and said the rather amusing line " Yes and that one has a picture of Charles's mom" ie the Queen. They looked at me as if id just said the most bizarre thing ever. When i got home i told my dad what had happened and he atleast found it funny, and is even thinking of using it as a quiz question, when he sorts out the quiz questions for his next quiz. So atleast something positve came out of the situation.
Something that isnt funny is that we have had a letter off the water board to say that at 23.59 -10.00 on saturday morning we will have no water. Whether they mean no water altogether or just no hot water, i have no idea. Anyone who knows me, knows that i have to have my daily shower and wash my hair. I have the kind of hair that tends to look greasy after one day of washing it, so its vital that i am able to wash it, so i dont look a greasy mess. Unfortunatly i am at work on that morning so i will be unable to have a shower. Its going to be a case of filling up every sauce pan and bucket we have with water the night before, so i can have a wash before work. I remember about 14 months ago when the heating broke at home and i had to boil water on the stove so i could wash my hair and have a bath. It took ages and i had to get up for work loads earlier. I know it sounds rather vain and pathetic, but i hate the thought of looking greasy and smelling. Im just gutted that i have thursday and friday off, so it wouldnt have mattered if they had turned the water off then, as it would be sorted by 10am. So i could have just had a shower then. Oh well its all part of the fun and im sure i can survive one day without having a shower. It can be one of the new and fun things i plan to do in 2004 ha ha ha
