    Apologies for not posting or commenting yesterday - a busy day - anyway I'm back today.

  • Goldfinch60

    Glad all is fine.

    1. Don't understand why people have
    plastic surgery unless there is a health problem.

    2. My one claim to fame in my family is that I have never been to IKEA!

    Two more good ones Michael.

      There are cases where 'corrective' surgery is warranted but most cases are pure vanity - something I wouldn't countenance. I understand the instructions in flat pack furniture have improved of late but as with nearly instructions with any goods are still sadly wanting. Thanks Andy.

      Oh I have to confess how I secretly love making flat pack furniture!
      It’s because I got a D in craft at school.
      It’s a bit like building Lego.
      Awesome.
      (That’s a quote from the Lego Movie- awesome)!

        I have assembled it in the past - mostly for my children when they were first starting out with their new homes but not these days. I would rather write, paint, or garden these days. Even decorating which I used to enjoy I now sub out to the 'professionals'. Oh the joys of age.
        Thanks Sylvia.

          Well writing a poem is a different kind of awesome 😊

          A fine write Michael. I thought you was stuck in that building yesterday - the 'Fire Doors - Keep Closed' one?! Did Miss Berles hear the fire alarm and rescue you? Excuse me while I be sick - saw KK, Kim Kardashian, worse than KP, in a pic. Some would say swoony pic. I just retched!

          • Michael Edwards

            They all look pretty awful to me - like caricatures of cartoons.

            • orchidee

              KP got on telly yet AGAIN, talking about something - any excuse to be seen!

              Excellent Michael
              I do feel the second one
              I winced at the first

              Sorry could ressist the 575 response
              Welcome back!

              • Michael Edwards

                Last two tomorrow - thanks Andrew.

              • Neville

                welcome back... a couple of good uns I see to celebrate with , cheers.... N

                • Michael Edwards

                  Yup - and two more tomorrow and then back to the serious stuff. Thanks Neville.

                  • Neville

                    am so excited.... N

                    LOL @ gobbledegook instructions. I bought a set of timer plug ins on ebay... instructions the size of two postage stamps... hi-res scan and enlargement sorted it
                    Plastic surgery? I think i'lll just stay ugly rather than uglier..

                    • Michael Edwards

                      And it extends to major suppliers. We bought a new Bosch washing machine a couple of weeks ago and trying to understand the instructions was the making of a PhD - as for the compartments and what goes in each section - well we still aren't entirely sure. So it's been hit and miss but the machine does seem to be working properly and we are pleased with it so we'll continue doing as we are doing.

                      • dusk arising

                        I'm glad neither of us got into subject of baffling instructions for PC peripherals and software, that's where i become stupid. It all began when i bought a yamaha synthesiser and a music sequencer for the PC. Instructions on how to get them to communicate thru MIDI using hexadecimal 'stuff' made me moronic. An expensive headache which gathers dust in the music room.

                        Plastic Surgery- vanity, unless as you say warranted

                        Flat pack furniture gives a commoner a sense of completion

                        Enjoyed

                        • Michael Edwards

                          Just had a thought - how about flat pack surgery - we could do it ourselves - imagine the instruction leaflet.

                        • Fay Slimm.

                          Oh MIchael -- that flt-pack haiku had me nodding my head in agreement and as for vanity-surgery - well those who have too much cash find it useful perhaps - - methinks the inside core of the heart never needs beauty treatment from any other than self.

                          • Michael Edwards

                            i wonder when they'll be seeking a brain transplant - but to transplant usually implies replacement - what if they have no brain to start with - oh such vexed questions.
