An emergency john

A bit of an emergency entry really as yesterday was a pretty busy day.

A lot of people have been asking me whether or not I make up these stories each day, but you really couldnt make up this stuff that happens to me, its all true.

To prove my point, although today was busy, it was uneventfull, nothing particular happened that I think that it would be interesting to write about.

I get on the bus with a work colleague and when he get off at Elm Row, two Polish girls walk past. He stops in his tracks and exclaims really loudly "wow, if she ever needs a green card and a marriage visa, Im there". Luckily she didnt hear him, but I very much doubt this line of chat up is going to work for him.

He asks me if I think he has lost weight, to which I say No, you look healthy, he says, so your sure I look good, I say well No, your still ugly. With that I get on my bus home. Usual assortment of east lothian nutters on the bus.

When I got home from the bus, my house was like a piccadily circus, john the joiner was in hanging some doors for me, mcgoo was here, eric and dad were here, lauren turns up, dunk turns up for a car battery I had lying around, abbie and dean stroll in and out

So i didnt really have a moment to myself.

I did however ask dad to have a look at a bmw 3 series that I had seen for sale in Edinburgh while Im at work. He tells me how nice it was, he took it for a test drive and it was silver and the automatic was really smooth. But dad, the car I asked you to look at was a manual. 10 out of 10 for effort at looking at the wrong car. He was only trying his best afterall, but it must have been one of those senior moments.

He does however have a bit of a man strop when I point out that due to his precarious parking outside our house that nobody can get past. He thinks you could drive a bus through that space (topical). I agree with him, I think you could drive a bus through that space, just not the vauxhall astra thats trying to get past.

He recovers from his man huff when he asks me to help him find a cheap week in the sun. Gotta love the old fella....
