I hate it when people blame their own failure on unfairness in the system. I was Princess Anne's assistant and I got promoted to Princess Anne within 5 months!
Had a friend burst out laughing as soon as I started a story. I said what? I haven't said anything yet. He said every time you tell a story you're doing something else in it for a living. It was true. Lol. Retired now and no regrets. I have such a varied skill set and life has been rich. Writing now with lots of material upon which to draw.
"And then I became a neurotic doctor at a free clinic in the US... had to wear a cane to distract people from the fact that I wasn't really an American."
"Then came the big nudist crash of '87..." I think I remember reading about that in the newspapers. Couldn't understand it myself. It takes money to buy clothes, but it costs nothing to take them off.
Or landed something really obscure like an old fashioned sewing machine and just sticks it in the bucket like its a normal thing to catch a sewing machine in the river.
Did nobody catch that when he said "move house", he literally meant they moved his entire house? LMAO when he said "put the last slate back on the roof" I died
Hugh Laurie has just gone up in my estimation. The few things I'd seen of his before were a bit cringeworthy, but he is obviously a great talent and he should study to be a nurse or something. Maybe limping, too.
Me. I had to go and buy some bloody clothes. Just a skirt mind, no knickers. I had faith the recovery wouldn't be very far away. Of course, I've been wearing a suit for a long time now. :(
