Perhaps you read this week of the girl who arranged a once in a lifetime, surprise trip to Las Vegas for her partner whose 30th birthday it was only to discover when they arrived at Birmingham Airport that she had mistakenly booked to fly from Birmingham Alabama.
"Richella's face has just gone red and she's in tears," said Mr Marlow.
"I was like - we're not going to Vegas then.
"I was more gutted for Richella than myself because it was a surprise."
“I was like – we’re not going to Vegas then”! I know. I shouldn’t laugh. They went to Amsterdam instead and after all I’m the one who on deciding to take his wife on a surprise trip to Sweden, muddled up his capital cities of Scandinavia and booked us on flights to Copenhagen.
Talking about not laughing I was disappointed at the muted reception I got to this witty little moment I had on Monday.
A HELPFUL AND CONSIDERATE CLIENT to whom I had offered the opportunity to meet one of our analysts:
08:49:09 Good morning.
I have a dentist appointment first thing on 13th so will be in late but I am all yours after 11.00
DAVID SANDISON
08:50:40 How about a meeting at tooth-hurty.....?!! LOL!
THE UNFORTUNATE CLIENT
08:51:30 Groan
08:51:58 2:30 is fine.
And whilst still on the subject of silly things I’ve been meaning to tell you we had my youngest brother and his family staying a couple of weekends ago. As A levels loom for both his eldest daughter, Ella, and, as you already know, for my son Bob, the conversation over dinner got round to their prospects in the exams. If you think I’m mean about my children you should meet my brother. He wasn’t disparaging, but perhaps he was playing down her chances just a wee bit. Ella was having none of it though and put him right back into his place. “I tell you, Dad, my friends all think I’m super-bright”…she paused for a moment. “Mind you, I don’t have particularly bright friends. The other day one of them asked me how they manage to turn trains around and my bezza Tracey thinks north is whichever direction her nose is pointing!” I don’t make this rubbish up!
