I need to post some documents with a cover note and I can't find a single scrap of paper in my flat, I haven't used it for years!
I've written my cover note but the flipping pen gave up when I was halfway through writing the address on the envelope and the post office shuts at four!!

First it was paper, now it's pens. I can't believe I'm living in a pen-free flat. I always wondered why biros are sold in packs of ten when they should last five years each but I can see why now!

Nuclear power station in Ukraine on the verge of exploding and wiping out half of Europe but news of Prince Harry's legal case takes president. :)

Everybody knows when you go to court you don't initiate a conversation with the judge. Perhaps Harry thinks being the King's son gives him an extra entitlement but it's all the more reason to scrap this pathetic monarchy.

It's human nature to distract ourselves with trivia rather than face difficult ideas. It's why most people focus on the method rather than the message when there's protests.

75p for a second-class stamp! I think it was 46p the last time I bought one.

Anyway, I've now got paper, pens, envelopes, stamp, truly organised now, letter posted, mission accomplished. :D

Somebody's got the knack of cancelling their bets precisely 5 seconds before I place mine.

You mean precedent of course. :-) Please accept that in the pedantic spirit intended.
Then again you may have meant president in a way that is more tortuous than I can imagine..

I knew something was wrong with that sentence but couldn't put my finger on it. :lol:

I thought asexual was splitting yourself in two, like bacteria. Didn't know humans could do it, and pansexual is new to me. Does that involve sex with saucepans?

Asexual is like atypical ie not something, but pansexual is just being greedy. There needs to be a box that says "autosexual" if you're not getting any action and it's all diy ;)

What gets me is the 'Not listed' option. I might be missing out on something but all I can think of is dollsexual. :)

Harry says he'll be "disappointed" if the court doesn't find in his favour.

I don't blame him. When your dad's the King, and you're in your dad's court, you don't want your beef pulled apart by your dad's counsellor. :lol:

If this case doesn't expose the stupidy of having a monarchy, I don't know what will. :roll:
