Title: Two Stars!
Post by Penguin on Jul 21^st, 2006, 10:58am

:D :D :D

I've just realised I've been awarded a second star and the status of "junior member."

Does that mean I get to wash the lettuces next?

Cheers

Penguin

Cannot see any of you advancing much further .....

None of your posts ended with "Have a nice day"

Have a nice day (cheesy insincere grin) ;D

Did anyone send young Penguin down to the Ironmongers for a left -handed screwdriver and a long stand ?

Does anyone still do that ?

Tartan Paint, Glass Hammer, Etc.

I don't think 16 year olds to-day would fall for that old guff.

Far too savvy these days , unlike muggins here :-/

I remember a story from a while back where the new boy was sent to the shop to get some cigarettes.
He was told to get 5 packs of Marlboro, & if they didn't have them, then anything else would do.

He came back with 5 packs of salt & vinegar crisps }{ }{

When I was an electrician, I worked as a contractor on Kelloggs in Manchester for nearly 10 years. One day I was drilling holes ready for tapping into stainless steel when the drill bit must have gotten too hot , the drill slipped and the HSS bit ended up bent at 90 degrees instead of it snapping like they normally did. Not being one to pass up on a wind up opportunity, I took it to the stores that we had in the contractors compound and asked John the storeman from Burnage if he could get some more as it was awkward getting the straight ones into the gap round the corner!!

3 days he was ringing round trying to get one before someone told him ;D

I kept the bit for many years as a reminder (a little like Mr Benn used to do) and I bet it is still in the shed at my mums somewhere!

my dad used to tell me and my brother that when the ice cream van played music, it meant it had run out of ice cream !!

apparently a common ruse, having spoken to some of my mates.....
