You know , it's amazing , i was out grocery shopping with my wife when the phone started to vibrate , she looked all excited as she extricated it from her pants pocket , excuse me please , i was thinking of a previous post of yours , MMMMMMmmm . The call was from our man in suspended animation , his local office would not re-instate his pension until he returned to England , this brought to mind an expression originated by one of my daughters when asked to do a chore , "But dad , my arms are all out of breath " . Have i got it wrong , but are all or most government employees THAT STUPID? They did however give him the phone of another office concerned with over-seas problems , excuse me @%#*@ do they accept collect calls ?
Whilst talking to my wife about this in our pigdin English/Kymer , i thought about airlines , on arival home , she booted up the computer and there was your latest post , ohmegod , the old adage is true !!! great minds do think alike , but multi miles apart ? Scratch my ear please !! When i finish reading my new posts i will be right on it , another nights sleep gone i guess , have to strike while the irons hot , the inspiration from this forum seems never ending , thank you , thank you . Colin
