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.

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.

Jason Larsen wrote:Ben, we want him to stay alive!

After all, why did we call him God?

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

Everyone is special, Charlie!

Since you aren't coming, I can say "more details please" without worrying about future awkward silences.

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.
