Nasty. Who's that, then?

I'll answer my own question. Just looked up the photo name on Google images.
Donatella Versace.

She should get a refund on that face job.

Geordie has never worn pyjamas or anything else since he was about 10 years old and realised the daftness of getting dressed-up to go to bed.

My late Mother used to buy me a pair every year in case I had to go into hospital. They were never worn.

Pleased to hear that fella.

Yep .... I've managed to get all this way down the highway of life (or more like the clarty back lane) without breaking any bones - apart from cracking a rib twice - and only once needed to sleep in a hospital bed and that was for only one night.

I'm seeing A LOT of the insides of hospitals just now though, but so far I've managed to escape permanent capture.

*Sigh* Trolling will not be tolerated and please be aware that this is in the open forums so language and images language need to be family friendly.

Thanks.

When me and 2 other apprentices left loads of dust sheets with the tenants son saying if she was bothered about carpets and furniture tell his mum to cover them up .we had a key started early next morning thinking she wasn't bothered we did full length chases all over the house of course he forgot to tell her . Not pleased when she came home.we cleaned up only to knock over a large tin of paint over the path on our way out .we have got better.

I meggered my boss once, that was the last mistake I made

 

[joelypops]

I got asked to disconnect a fuse board a d leave a temp site supply for building works going on in the house. Got there, spoke to the builder who didn't have a clue i was coming but said fair enough get on with it. All finished an on the way home i got a call from the original client asking why i hadnt been yet. Id written the address down wrong and disconnecged the wrong house! Purely coincidence there was building work going on in the other property. Luckily owners saw the funny side when i raced back to re install the fuseboard!

Nice one,joelypops, my mate did the exact same thing but substitute CU for 80 foot of manicured established privet from the road to the back of the garden. Ripped the lot out in an hour with the mini-digger.He got Oak Grove mixed up with Oak Road....remedial work went on for months...
