Classic posts

Lol, I'd forgotten I'd even posted that, and so followed the link excitedly. And then decided to add an edit because it could be misread as being quite insulting!

Yes! Makes it all worthwhile. Still I think I let somebody else do most of the work for that.

After some consideration I have settled on my favourite RB post ever.

The number of classic Jim posts is probably greater than any integer, but this has got to be among the finest.

This, this, this and this. Four posts from four posters (like a bed), good for four reasons. What a day!

Kirk Bevins wrote:Missed round 10 as some woman knocked on the door and just stared at me for 5 seconds before introducing her name and talking slowly. I thought "ffs hurry up, Countdown's on, if this is some religious thing I'll be super pissed off" and she said she used to live here in 1952 and she wanted to come in. She went into all our bedrooms and stormed about the house and stood dead still in the living room trying to cry. She then started shouting at me, ranting about why I wasn't teaching. She kept saying her name and shaking her hand.

The weirdest experience ever and the weirdest lady I've ever come across.

This is one of the weirdest posts I've ever come across. I think the fact that it's in spoilers is what makes it so great, not because it fits anywhere else, but because that just amuses me for some reason.

You cock-muncher! I've been avoiding the spoilers thread all week as I've not yet seen this week's episode of "Through The Kirkhole" but now I know who Kirk's house guest is so you've spoilt it.

If Kirk did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

That's all very well in theory, but then how do you account for Jason?

It's not that exciting really, so I'll include some irrelevant background detail.

So my friend's wedding was due to be on 22nd May and his "gift list" was with John Lewis.

Meanwhile, I'd noticed that dried apricots often have maggots in. I noticed this with Tesco's ones first but we sometimes get stuff delivered from Okado (basically Waitrose online) and found that the Waitrose brand apricots were the same. I imagine that they have the same supplier, rather than supermarket chains manufacturing all their own fruit. So I e-mailed Waitrose about this problem with their apricots and made it clear that this was more about having maggot-free apricots than getting some sort of compensation. So they sent me £14 of John Lewis vouchers.

It didn't take me long to twig that I could use these towards a wedding present from the "gift list". I was on the cusp of choosing something when another friend texted to say that the wedding is definitely off because she'd returned the ring. Then the friend whose wedding it was texted the next day to say that the wedding was off because she's had some sort of breakdown.

Luckily I hadn't spent the £14 of John Lewis vouchers.

Pointless, but amusing.

Tee hee, cheers. All good though - the link is now safe, nothing got spoilered for me, I now know to read Ryan's recap, and Badcock hasn't dumped me which she definitely would have if it'd been spoiled. Everyone's a winner, or at least not a loser

Will be watching at silly o'clock tonight... let's hope you win!
