Good Friday
Filed in: Ed's blog spot
Ed the Editor's personal blog corner
It is a slow day in America, a nation gripped by holidays and sub-prime fever. To calm my nerves, I feverishly wrote a post on how I killed the golden goose called Swicki. That felt better, until I discovered that my nifty celebratory MyBlogLog Sunday 21 post doesn't show in the RSS feed. At least, not in mine. Hummmmm Sorry to any of my triple digit subscribers who are disappointed that I didn't deliver on Sunday?
Flipping around the internet, I found some cheery stuff on Tina Turner and Naomi Campbell. I have no shame sometimes.
Elsewhere, I stumbled upon an engineer who got his own back on Verizon. It reminds me of a guy who I think wrote, I Promise To Pay The Bearer Two hundred Pounds - on a salmon. He delivered it by hand in the middle of summer. It may have stunk to high heaven, but somehow it was legal tender.
And I know a bloke who had a run-in with his local council and paid his community tax in 2 pence pieces, as a matter of principle. The cashier was going mad as he counted out hundreds and hundreds of coins. She wanted to eject him, but he had the newspapers with him, so he was allowed to pay.
And now I recall when I was a kid, I got on a bus and handed over a pile of coins to the driver. He said I was trying to be funny, but he wasn't smiling. I thought it was a strange thing to say, because I wasn't trying to be funny. He then said he could refuse to accept my money, if he wanted. Charming. I definitely lost all trace of a grin by this stage, and mumbled that I had no idea there were limits to how many coins you could use. I was a poor kid on my way to school, not a treasury expert or a smart ass - unlike the bastard public servant driver!
Have a good weekend, I am tidying up The Pisstakers. Great.
