Burgled

It's a bitch, Timo, and no mistake. I hope that all this shit
happening is getting rid of it all, so that the rest of your life is
going to run smoothly, eh?

Hyuuge PITA. Not cheap, either.

Good move - if you remember to use it and don't forget or lose the
combination ...

 

He'll have to live to about two hundred to bring it back into balance,
though, as well as winning the lottery at least twice a year...

 

Sorry to hear about the burglary. I had the same experience about
fourteen years ago, and they took a briefcase which contained all
orders and work in progress for the shop (Swift Leathers). We had to
get in contact with customers through the motorcycle press to inform
them that, a) some scumbag had access to their personal data,
including details of bike(s) owned (critical information for ensuring
the correct cut and fit of the suit) and, b), we needed to remeasure
everyone whose order had been lost and copy their duplicate of the
design form.

The good news was that the most likely suspect was being followed by
the local police later that evening, in a car which had coincidentally
disappeared from just around the corner from my home at about the same
time as the burglary, and when he tried to outrun them he ended up
involved in a head-on with a recovery truck. "Worst fracture
dislocation of the neck I have ever seen", as a friend of mine from
the local A&E commented, having visited the mortuary and observed the
close proximity of the deceased suspect's chin to his navel...

 

Nothing personal, but please don't come on the Piccadilly line - I would
like to get home on time this week.

 

So that will explain why the Jubilee Line has (as I type) a signal
failure at Canary Wharf (guess where Timo works) and why the Northern
Line has severe delays due a signal failure (all day!) at Mornington
Crescent. And IIRC Timo lives somewhere on the north part of the
Northern Line!

I'm afraid the fault attribution system hasn't got a box called "Curse
of Timo" in it

Thank goodness we've got a long holiday break coming up.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember (Paul
Varnsverry) saying something like:

<puts onion in handkerchief and dabs eyes>

While I grieve over the death of any human being (no, honestly {fingers
crossed behind back}), I cannot help thinking that the creator of the
universe (Walt Disney) felt the need to punish that poor lad by teaching
him the error of his ways in a timely fashion.

What time and where to?

I'll be leaving LHR T1 at 18:15, see you there then.

 

Just wait until they send the loss adjuster.

 

Not too near the southwestern bit, are you?

Later than that. Actually nearly two hours later as there was a fire
investigation at the Heathrow end of the Heathrow Express, so I had to
take a cab from Paddington to Heathrow just to get there on time...

First time I went through security *after* the boarding time...
