My two out of 50, bloated plutocrat that I am...  8. Have flown first classOnly by complete accident, not by design, so only half a point I think. By way of explanification, Sydney to Brisbane (as it happens!) Qantas had overbooked economy class and since we were in a group of 12 on world-wide (economy) tickets, they decided to bump 6 of us up. Now, our party comprised 6 band and 6 crew so being a hugely democratic little outfit, we drew lots and I, uncannily, was left with one of the First Class boarding passes myself. Unforch only on a one hour sector but BOY, it was something else! 22. Shops at WaitroseMaybe only half a point here too actually, given I only drop in about once a month for a few things. Rest of the time I shop in Aldi. I’m no’ daft! --------------------------- As for these: 10. Wine cellarI have a wine rack in my tat, which is in a basement. Does that count? 24. A wet roomAgain not by design, just a condensation issue in our Victorian bathroom! 30. Eat lobsterSaw one at very close quarters over in Cat this year, where it’s ‘all the rage’ this year as well. Quarter of a point? 31. His and her sinksActually I do have one of these, come to think of it. Even better it’s a his, hers and wean’s sink. Awarding self extra point! 32. Log burnerHappily agreed to allow lovely upstairs neebs to artfully pile their log supplies in the communal hall so, close but no cigar…just a half a point to me, I think! 33. A TV in every roomCome to think of it, another half a point. iPad when carried room to room is ready source of TV broadcasts. 43. A lazy SusanThinking out of the box, I may actually get a point here due to my pal Suse giving up FT work and going freelance? Shaky premise so probably not… 50. Have 2,000 Twitter followersOne seventh of a point. This is angst, I tell you, ANGST! Where have I gone SO wrong?  <posted from my orangery, btw...>  |

Probably In Reading the Daily Heil? Aye, twas them that published this hellish list that's given us all SO much amusement in the UKE this week And mostly held in complete ridicule, which is the entirely appropriate response.  Fret not, Nota. One needs to keep appraised of the Daily Fail's constant efforts to support outrageous levels of capitalism: know thine enemy, and all that! Quite cold tonight, I'm away to find a gilet in my rather impressive wardrobe of same |

ah ok I've checked them both ... Orangery would burn citrus trees .
Some people have Gilets, cant think what they are called.
If you are calling your wine rack a wine cellar Im calling the beer fridge in the shed a wine cellar. As well as beer it usually has a cask of Chateau Cardboard (loony bag)
So I have 1.25

Wow!!
I got 49/50!!
On reflection, that's a bit disappointing. Should be 50 really.

No, its next to the garbage bins just beyond the BBQ.
Last time I skiied was in Glen Coe. We hired the gear ... God snow is wet and cold... strictly for penguins or poley bears
Name Scottish Council for Physical Recreation rings a bell. It was on left hand side of road heading North
PS Piste to my fellow country men is what happens when you imbibe in too much giggle juice

God snow is wet and cold... strictly for penguins or poley bears Name Scottish Council for Physical Recreation rings a bell. It was on left hand side of road heading North PS Piste to my fellow country men is what happens when you imbibe in too much giggle juice God snow does tend to be wet and cold. So does UnGod snow, unfortunately. Don't ask me about things North, specially in winter. I'm genetically bound to head to the Med myself---as all the best Scottish birds do. Looking forward to Thursday hereabouts. Big Snow forecast--godly or ungodly. I might just be on the piste Friday, mate's 50th birthday party. A glittery party dress seems fitting, to wear over the salopettes of course. Must get the maid to look them out, while I remember. |
