Worst ever birthday present?

[Philly Q]

I've noticed there's a box in the corner of the kitchen, looks quite a lot like your birthday present, do you reckon that might be what she was using to make my white shirts white again?

Could be... does it stare at you with a single big, unblnking eye?

Happy Birthday Philly - Are you taking it to the BKP meet (if Jonathan brings his it won't feel alone) :)

[Philly Q]

Yeah, we could put them at the back of the stage (like those tumble dryers Geddy Lee used to have).

In the same vein - I got a tube of Polyfilla for Father's Day....

Happy Birthday Philly  :D

Normally I just get cards on my birthday and cheer myself up with something guitar related, which I justify on the grounds that no one bought me anything :?

Due to financial circumstance this has been postponed for the last couple of years  :(

That remains a possibility, although I'm a couple of days late now!

You think you've got it bad: my washing machine's gone on holiday for two weeks with her friend...

Afghan's Top Tip!

For £275 I can usually find a very suitable "wife substitute" when the need arises  :?

Happy (late) Birthday. I didn't get any presents at all last year, and kinda liked it.

Happy belated birthday Philly, it's my mum's today.

And you should've looked into said washing machine technology. I heard there's one that uses steam, and that actually interested me for some reason.

I guess I'm getting all ready for the old age to come :P

Happy birthday Phil sorry to here about that washing machine.

[jibidy]

I work in a commercial laundry and I use a £20,000 washing machine. Its awesome, and if you put your head inside (obviously when its empty and not washing) you can hear really deep bass resonance which is coool. haha.

anywayyyyy

Sorry for seeing this a bit late, but Happy Birthday Philly !  :D  

Have a well deserved,  happy and healthy year(s) ahead  :D

The nice thing about the somewhat 'pressured' washing machine purchase, is that it ensures you won't having to be sat at the local ( or not so local ) laundrette - having your stuff being made to look / smell worse than when they went in, and then having to pay £2-3  to dry the result.

 A Gentleman and scholar such as you Philly, should be allowed to choose his environment, remain fragrant - and of course feel un-inhibited when he wants to throw up at leisure.  :)

For £275 you can have your very own in house 'cleaners', whereas our old mate Afghan, can only procure someone to take him to the cleaners for as much.

 :lol:

Thanks Derek!

It was indeed well worth the £275 to avoid the local launderette - which makes Dot's establishment in Walford Square look like Buckingham Palace.

And thanks to my Next account, then my trusty credit card, I won't actually have to pay hard cash for the thing until mid-September.  :)
