Do you write many perms.
Very infrequently old chap. Mine wasn't as good as Tuumble's (although he did go on a bit and I couldn't quite get the rhythm ):

I saw that picture and assumed his new lady was German . . .

And then Tuumble settled down for the night in his plastic covered bed, 'Slip Sliding Away' playing gently in the background.
Now look, do not think that having a mattress covered in plastic implies anything other than me having an enormous sexual appetite. Actually no, it just means it's new stuff and not from the local landfill.
I tried to put the bed frame up last night and while I had the allen key I needed a pair of pliers for the nut/bolt thing on the other end. Therefore it was a low level night of sleepage.
The TV is a borrowed one from my lady friend and has a built in CD player. However, nearly all my DVDs are still back at the marital home so my evening's viewing consisted of watching the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony (last year's unwatched Christmas pressie) and a 2006 live performance of Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds.
I went up to the local store to get some food in and the guy in the queue asked if if he could pay his court fine there (apparently he could). For tea I got a meal for one from the shabbiest Chinese takeaway I've seen in ages. I got prawn toast, sweet and sour chicken balls, egg fried rice and another chickeny thing with shoots in a beige sauce. The prawn toast was amazing but as it was all in for £7.50 I'm slightly dubious of what I actually ate. I'm still here to type the tale though.
About to take a bookcase and a canvass wardrobe and cupboard set back to the flat (courtesy of the IT Manager and his car) plus a bath clothes airer, mugs and other odds and ends. I also managed to save the best part of £30 on my monthly leccy bill. 
P.S. I have TWO bottle openers

Looks like I'll need a new verse. Now what rhymes with bottle opener......

It looks very nice Tuumble.
If Sootyj can write you a dreadful poem........
The boxes full, the rooms quite bare
No memories of the life WE shared
A covered bed, a single chair
I tell myself I'm happy thereThe kettle here, the TV there
No telling if I'm really scared
The bed is made, the chair a pair
I tell myself, I'm happy thereThe boxes gone, the rooms have flair
New memories of MY life are there
I'm in MY bed, I'm on MY chair
I KNOW that I am happy there

Amazing.
How the other half live, eh?
A tip for tummble; go to a supermarket at about 7-8pm when they are reducing all the food. You can buy bread, vegetables and salads for as little as 10p and there's nothing wrong with them. There's also fridge section with meats and dairies too but they're normally a bit more than 10p.
I think you'd be surprised by the quality of the stock they're giving away for practically nothing.
Heh, thanks for the tip Lee.
I have done that before though I admit not in an obviously pre-meditated way.
I should point out that the topic of this discussion isn't 'middle-aged guy with no clue about the world is let out into the community and expected to die'...or is it?
