    ***Stop Press - Ring Update***

    After another night of my wife mopping around with a right face on and no news from the hotel, the bar where my wife lost her wedding ring was quiet this morning. So I took the opportunity to pretty much take the armchair she was sitting in apart. Despite her telling me she and the waiter had looked all around it when she went back, tucked right down the side of the cushions, almost into the framework was something shiny and familiar! Gawd knows how it worked it's way down in there but there it was!

    I'm now my wife's hero and we can get on with our holiday.

    Karma does work!

    Great news but not sure your wife helped the situation by cleaning the floors.

    Yeah I'm now annoyed that he should be getting treated to the full wife experience in the hotel room when I've already had my breathless, sweaty disappointment for the day. And the toe rag is on holiday
  • @cabbles, I've noticed a few comments from you on this thread recently, it sounds like things are a bit rubbish at the moment! Hope you're doing alright; don't get too down. I'm probably only noticing because I mainly read the thread where you go to vent.

    (Just to clarify - no, I don't know you and there isn't any reason why I'd be noticing patterns in your comments!)

    Haha - no mate, that dating one was tongue in cheek. The work situation could be better but I'm working on that :-)

    Typical public sector working blaming private sector staff of theft when it wasn't their fault.

    :wink:

    Glad she got the ring back and you are the hero
    Point of order Mr I, if someone had half inched it my money would defo be on the guests before any of the staff first. Some right dodgy looking sights around the pool here...

    And I'm all the way over in West Hampstead. Still, at least it's the jubilee back to Canada Water then overground to Forest Hill so relatively easy journey back

    Maybe try closer to home - I hear sarf London birds put out on the first date......

    quite funny as hes at a 6k a term private school, and at the weekend got found with a grinder and a packet of rizzlas, even better was when he tried blagging it saying it was for his food tech class at school to make hundreds and thousands.

    Pretty specific one, but when someone makes a good point and then ruins it at the end with an over-the-top similie.

    Have you got inside info on the whereabouts of Britney's bum then Daz?

    I believe their are laws about office working conditions - either too hot or too cold - if they are not being adhered too then invoke your rights & strike.

    I think it is only for one of them (too cold I think)

    Think it only applies to minimum temperature, not maximum.

    Everyone is correct, only applies to a minimum as otherwise all restaurant kitchens would be empty in summer!

    Nice one.

    Mrs Fiiish is exactly the same. She will lose something then claim she's looked everywhere. I look in an obvious crevice and lo and behold it's there.

    Overly specific online passwords.

    Why does my online Starbucks account require a letter, a number, 8 characters, a special character, a pinky promise, a lock of hair, a description of my last 3 poops and a written reference from my primary school head teacher.

    What is the worst that could happen. Someone could view my points balance?

    Turning up to an interview yesterday afternoon in a suit and tie absolutely sweating buckets.
    One of the interview board was sat there in a tee-shirt, shorts and flip flops. Also the building had the aircon turned down to minus 5.
