Katsmom will be asleep now so I can say anything I like and she won't mind anyway
MORNING ROX
Dear Katsmom,
I can go to borders for you to look for codes for 39 clues (Unsuccessfully)
I can take up your case with Royal Mail from this end. (If necessary)
I can listen to you while you bemoan your lack of mag and password.
I can tell you how to make a coconut doll.
I can sweetly persuade Scurra to send your password by PM as you forgot to tell us you had a new email address.
WHAT I CANT DO IS SUPPLY YOU WITH A ******* PRINTER
Gill

I have already offered my services to Katsmom. I would take great pleasure in going back to Leeds sorting office and meeting the old c** again. She could be my starting point. She wont have forgotten me yet and probably won't do so in a hurry.
I'm very nice usually.

Can I come and join the queue behind you to observe the encounter?

You most certainly can.
You can say anything you like as long as you have a smile on your face. No-one is ever sure whether you are joking or not

Can I take it that the venue for the first Puzzlebrains meet is taking place at the Leeds sorting office

Chazzie, I just replied by Pm to you instead of posting on here. Cut and paste it if you want to.
Edit. I salvaged it and cut and pasted it myself.
Why not. We could all send parcels to my address with the wrong name on. Go queue up armed with the cards that the postie will put through my letterbox without bothering to knock and give her absolute hell.One at a time of course.

Sounds good to me. Can we all re-enact that wonderful bit in the Full Monty when they start dancing in the benefit queue?

You can also wake me up and put a smile on my face! Thank you. You are just so sweet. I'm taking the bug to Disney today after finishing the coconut doll (we did go out and get 3 more thanks to you) But before we go, I'm heading to the office to print off copies of the magazine from the web!
Can you do one more thing for me?
Have someone video that Full Monty at the post office!

Well at least the Full Monty in the queue would be more acceptable than me trying to do my pelvic floor exercises whilst stood in any queue anywhere.
I don't have hot flushes. I have short holidays in the Tropics.

Do you find that you can't do them without pulling the corners of your mouth up at the same time? I know I can't - and I end up looking like I'm completely mental!!!

I just end up holding my breath and have to remember to breathe again before I go blue in the face.
