Captain Colonial Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Is it just my suspicious mind, or is there something in the fact that guest, currently captain of the SS Pinktanic, just happens to leave Brum the morning after a huge fire (caused by Chinese lanterns) starts locally to him?

User0083 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Mrs C wakes up every morning, pulls out iPad and reads BBC news. Saw that... Wakes me up and tells me. Smethewick ain't all that local. I called a "mobile manicure" company, based in Smethewick, to book Mrs C's nails as a surprise. Sorry, I don't cover that area and don't do weekends or evenings (So that's a lot of stay at home mums and dole dossers supporting her company!). I offered to cover her petrol and lost time. I said I'd give her £100!!!! Only £30 nails! But she said she wouldn't drive near here. I suspect to do with the other drivers! So if a Mobile Service won't drive it, it can't be local. Hahahahaha Today we got out sushi! Sat in peace and chilled out. Was lovely. Then 4 very loud brummie accents walk in... Destroyed atmosphere I had enough. Walked over and said "Accuse me please (they stopped and looked at me)... See the atmosphere and peace in her now you've stopped talking?" Turned around and walked off. It worked! It actually worked! They spoke quietly. Still hear their voices over everyone else's... But the were quieter. Going to try it if I come across loud and disruptive Brummies on the cruise. Sorry to give Birmingham and brummies a bad press. It isn't all of them and the whole city. Just the only ones that stick in my mind. Helped a lovely old lady up some stairs yesterday, she was really struggling and everyone pushed past. All I did was take her shopping in my good arm and Mrs C helped her up the stairs, over the bridge and up the stairs on the of their side. We wished her a good day, turned around, walked down the stairs, over the bridge and down the other stairs then continued our route. So walked completely the wrong way to help a lady that had over 100 people push by. Any one of them could've taken 30 seconds to help. But, as proved later, they'd rather push someone towards a canal or in a hedge rather than wait 5 seconds. Had a guy barge through, I moved to the side, he walked past. I said "Thanks mate, Don't worry, not an issue." OMG! You'd think I urinated in his pint! Abuse I got back... I just calmly carried on. I think people are too selfish, self centred and judgmental here. Quote
User0083 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 See happy as a pig in poop! Should've happened yesterday, but too many ignorant people in the city. I've been told I may be in Birmingham another year, due to done huge surgery may be required my reply was... "How long would I be here if you amputated my arm? If it's less than a year, please consider it." He laughed, Mrs C replied with "He's serious" His face went expressionless and very serious. So I looked at him and said "I was told I was going to be here three years, that was bad enough, I've been here 5 and would rather loose my arm than stay here another year." "I'll see what I can do to speed things up for you. When are you planning on moving?" "As soon as I'm recovered enough from this." "Oh..." Quote
