Today i was presented with my bill so far at the solicitors,
I was charged for a room 
,
Where the feck we going to meet in the fecking park
Brian the eldest brother asked to go to the toilet, I said save it, i cant afford a toilet,
I took Brian with me to give his version of events, which he did word perfect,
Young female solicitor was busy reading my file of whats been going on, then she said right i would like to hear from Brian on his own, (My idea) but as i left the most expensive room on the planet i said to the young bird "Perhaps you should ask to see Brians passport just so you know i havnt just found him outside,
"Oh yeh i was just going to," My arse,"
The word Professional means they get paid no matter what happens,
so they dont really give a shit, Solicitors, Doctors, Estate agents dentists etc,
we left feeling like we just wasted an afternoon,
Oh, forgot, she needed some info which i said i would email her when i got home,
Sent it and reply was, Automated, I wont be back in the office until monday the 2nd of December,
Probably gone shopping with my life savings 
was.

You paid them yet Reg, if not don't let them take action and get law society involved.

Tried to do one of those Airfix model airplanes things this evening. All the little parts are attached to a frame. Made shit out of the first two parts trying to detach them from the frame. Useless shite. And you need a degree in literature to just read the instructions. Its in the feckin bin now

I had a mate who was an aircraft builder, he came and worked as an engineer at my last company. He said he wanted to work for airfix but didn't fancy another five years training

I'll be booking hire cars, one in the States and one in the UK. I have a headache as I can feel lots of money drifting away.

Just upgraded it to a Focus for an extra 3 quid. I'm the last of the big spenders!

And now just booked a car in the UK for 8 days a tiny Corsa and that is £349.81 Ridiculous, why does everything in the UK have to cost so much more than elsewhere.

Just got a quote from London Heathrow for a 4 door Fiesta from 7th Dec to the 22nd for £222.00. Are you going for zero excess or something?

Then you got to put the most expensive fuel in Europe in it. You cant borrow my Merc cos Patsy's got it! Strange really cos last time she smashed her car up (other drivers fault) they couldnt wait to supply her with a hire car for free. Hmmmm, pointless having free hire car on your policy really. Or they just dont trust her no more. I dont either but I get no choice.

Nope, don´t they usually ask you that at the desk along with all the other gubbins that can make the price rise even more.
