Off the face of the earth.

1 Dec 2006

OK - my house is not huge.... it's not like there are that many rooms and places things can hide.... so how the feck do so many things just disappear off the face of the earth once they get inside of it?
Today I can't find the battery charger for the shag-phone, my digital camera, a new (and I might add expensive) lip gloss, two pairs of shoes and god knows how many pens mad

What happens to all this stuff?

It must be the faries PL as we have the same problem mad

I am currently missing a christmas pressie (which I cant say what it is as it's for Dawn :lol2: ) and a phone charger. We were also missing an MP3 player but the faries must have got fed up with listening to Cheetah Girls rolleyes

as that was found yesterday :lol2:

Shag-phone? I assume this is a second mobile that you use for swinging etc rather than a phone you shag? :shock: Is this generally recommended? I guess it's wise in case you end up giving your number to a nutter - in which case you can just bin the sim card and get another one ( ? )

I'm sure there must be people in a parallel universe wondering where the excess of socks/pens etc. come from....

I have the answer to missing socks.
they're stolen by SAS and survivalists operating in the area you live.
They take one and leave the other just in case they need to come back for it. Good survival technique. Sometimes they have to hop from one grid reference to another.
Sometimes they grab a sheep and shave off some fleece and spin and weave some wool for darning the socks. Good survival skills.

Blimey, how did that happen? :shock:
Wonder what the person who suddenly has no cats, but loads of pens and hair bobbles is thinking :undecided:

In our place, I always find things a few years after they've gone missing. Always in really stupid places too.
Can't help but chuckle at the term 'shag phone'.. might have to get us one of those soon.

be careful when the cats decide to "excrete" the bobbles! I once heard of a woman who's boxer dog swallowed a pair of her tights... and she had to assist in the collection of those tights... eewwww.... blink

(god I sound like David Gest with one of his jackanory's!!) lol

They have heavy duty vibrators within them. Very good for phone sex.

Or maybe you always used to forget you'd forgotten things, so only think you're more forgetful now cos before, forgetting you'd forgotten things, you thought you remembered everything? dunno

Therefore you're actually less forgetful now cos you remember you've forgotten things biggrin

In which case, the socials and munches, in fact, make you less forgetful, so should be stepped up, or at the very least carried on :D
Missy - talking sense in a roundabout 'what the bluddy ell is she going on about' kind of way blink

I've got a fifty pound note somewhere in our house biggrin

can't remember where I've put it though :cry:
put it somewhere safe for a rainy day redface

Well as Shurlock would possibly say, eliminate the obvious and what is left however improbable is the truth. So a battery charger, camera,lip gloss,2 pairs of shoes and lots of pens...seems like transvestite photo journalist is our man here ! round up the usual suspects !

And it was to this planet that unattended biros would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely biroid lifestyle, responding to highly biro-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the biro equivalent of the good life.

if you have not forgotten the number of your shag-phone, ring it. If the thing is switched on....it may be chatting up your 'digital camera, a new (and I might add expensive) lip gloss, two pairs of shoes and god knows how many pens ' or making a porn film.

This planet exists. I was a driver for a very nice papermate couple. Until I had to leave when my visa ran out.
