Is there anything left....part 2

[MileHigh]

I love that "kick in the door" comment! Brilliant! (I'm getting addicted to that word. For some reason, when I say it, I picture Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, or Ron Weasley.... but, I digress).

That "slow bleed" can be frustrating. I felt like this place was open for weekend/evening shopping visits for quite some time.

Just look at that empty space as potential! You can do whatever you want with it. Even if you just leave it empty. Empty space gives me peace of mind, but some people like cozy (crowded, if you're a minimalist)

The first time W and I went through this (and with my first M) I had evil fantasies of all the creative ways to handle their stuff. Often involving thrift store donations or fires!

The one really bad thing I did after BD #1 with current W.... it was right after Christmas, and I had finally boxed up all the decorations and stuff. So I took the whole lot, put it in the back of the truck and dropped it at the thrift store. There were no keepsake or family heirlooms, so it was no real loss.

[quote=Not Quittingin case of an emergency he said. My answer to that was "if it's an emergency feel free to kick the door in".

ROTFLOL!!! That's an AWESOME response! [/quote]

Thanks AS. I don't think H was overly impressed with the response, but it was his choice to move out so I don't really care

MH, we're going to have come up with some different British shows for you to watch. How about "Vicar of Dibley"? Dawn French is rather funny - and you might come up with some new terms to use

[MileHigh]

Saw that one... I love Dawn French. She's always funny. Oh, that reminded me of Father Ted. There's a lot of stuff from that show I can't really put on here.... Of course the "F word" that Father Jack constantly yells is the sanitized Irish version.

I love Dawn French and the vicar of Dibley. I confess that I've not seen Father Ted but I've still got a lot of BBT to get through so that'll keep me busy At the moment they've got a new series of Doc Martin with Martin Clunes, that's a good show along with men behaving badly as well.
If you want revenge on your H, I read about this the first time he left but never did it. Get a small shrimp and put it in the bottom of a box. He won't notice it's there and after a while his place will stink hehe It will last for days afterwards as well, lol.
NQ, if your H gave you his stuff to put in the thrift store, then surely it's a gift to you and you can then sell it. My H says to me, put this towards your next boot sale. I don't know if he's expecting me to give him the money or not that I make on his stuff, lol.
So you want new terms to use eh? You should watch the Fast Show. There's a character on there that says brilliant all the time, in fact that's all he does say, lol. There's lots of different catchphrases that you can pick up from there Also Little Britain has got some funny sketches in it, loads of catchphrases in there as well

That reminds me of a show we used to watch on BBC America. It was one of those where the women are played by men - like on Monty Python. Can't remember the name. It was set in a little village that was isolated. Someone exclaimed "local places?" in a loud, shocked voice because it was implied there might be a need to go outside the village. That's been an in joke with my W and I for over a decade, and I can't remember what the show was....

[TryingToDo180]

Just googled local places and catchphrase. It's come up with the league of gentlemen, was that it?
Never seen it though Just read the script and it looks funny

[MileHigh]

Good job! I tried googling it. Guess I wasn't diiligent enough.:)

Hmmm, now there's a thought .

I could hold a yard sale, but it’s so much easier to let the charity come and pick up the stuff and it goes to a good (diabetes research), especially now that fall is almost here - guess I'm too lazy to organize one . Yard/garage sale season is pretty well done for the year and I certainly don't want it hanging around until spring.

I've seen a few other British comedians live - Dave Allen (about 25 years ago when he came to Toronto), Jim Davidson (his summer season in Torquay) and Lee Hirst. My son loves watching clips of "They Think It's All Over", especially the Feel the Sportsman rounds - Lee Hirst was one of the regulars on that show. Of course, Jim Davidson is not exactly child friendly so my son hasn't been exposed to him yet - unless I want to try and find that snooker show he used to host. S13 also likes watching some of the clips from Children In Need, especially when the BBC anchors let loose.

Surprise, surprise - H just texted to say that he's not going to make it tonight to finish packing. No surprise - he was seen nearly three hours ago in a bar and he was already on his 3rd beer at that time (and he only finished work at 4:45).

He won't be over tomorrow or Friday night as I'm volunteering with S13's cadet group. Same thing Saturday all day, so I guess it'll be Sunday at the earliest.

That shrimp is looking more and more appealing .
