Tomorrow I may lose my job

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by The Older Gentleman, Sep 13, 2007.

  1. When my nan died at the start of the year, we didn't really know what
    to do with hers, or at least, what she'd have wanted done with them.

    So, given she really loved going to Broadstairs when she was alive, a
    few of us got together on what would have been her birthday in July,
    and then scattered the bulk of them over the harbour wall into the
    sea.

    It was actually far more moving than I was expecting, and I'm pretty
    confident it would have been something she would have appreciated.

  2. 'ello.

    Just passing through... although as is traditional with me, now that
    the weather is starting to cool and the nights are drawing in, having
    not had a bike for the bulk of the summer, I'm considering getting
    something like a Thundercat (1) soon, for the daily commute into
    London.

    Currently suffering South Eastern Trains...

    (1) Yamaha, not cartoon character.

    I once saw someone's ashes floating down the Avon at Stratford.
    It would have been better if the grieving relatives had remembered
    to take the lid off the jar before dropping the remains off the bridge.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

    When I took my Mum to scatter Dad's ashes, the wind blew them back onto her
    wet shoes and they stuck there. She started to wipe them off on the wet
    grass. I caught her eye, and we both /nearly/ laughed. We didn't. I wish
    we had. Twas a truly weird moment.

  7. That's what happened to me when I tried to chuck my brother in the river
    where we used to go fishing as kids.

    Laugh? My mam would've *pissed* herself laughing if that'd happened to her.

    My Mum wouldn't have laughed at all - except she /nearly/ did. But then
    didn't. So I didn't, although it was hard not to crease up. That's what
    was strange.

    Read it again. I'm accusing you of being a fantasist. Or, if you like,
    a fucking liar yourself.

    There's no way that you either called a barrister a 'fucking liar' in a
    court or won 35k.

    You have a major credibility gap to the extent that most of the things
    you spout are suspect.

    Nige is a member of the Little Sisters of the Holy Phallic Engorgement, and
    it is against his religion NOT to mention it at every available opportunity,
    especially to the unenlightened. It's a bit like Catholics wearing a
    crucifix, but less discreet.

    No doubt. But why quote it?

    Well, witnesses aren't credible here since if you supply them they
    wouldn't be guaranteed to be independent.

    How about you:

    1. Give the date of the case and the court used.
    2. Name the barrister that you called a fucking liar.

    That I don't believe you called a barrister a fucking liar in court and
    were not ejected.
    Yes. Please provide:

    1. The name of the company you sued.
    2. The date of their payment to you (approximate)
    3. The case number

    I thought Nige was comparing himself to Phallus Dei.
    He claims to have stood up for himself a couple of times but
    we all know he lies eternally and has never been any use to anybody.
