Yeah, that sounds like one of my daft ideas doesn't it?

If you kept clear of those dodgy dvds Dave,you wouldn't have to worry about your blood pressure?

Speaking of which.........its amazing how many very naughty films turn up in our charity shop,housed in more innocent film title cases. Presumably the scenario being hubby stashes away his porno films in,for example, his collection of war films dvd cases, he then turns his toes up and his unsuspecting wife then donates his dvds to the charity shops without checking the contents first.

Its a good job we inspect the dvds before we put them on the shelf?

Checklist Paul........

1) Work out what you really would like to do
2) Line up a job involving work that you really would like to do
3) Leave present job.

Don't become impatient and get the above lineup in the wrong order will you?

I think the dodgiest DVD I have would be something more like 'Laurel and Hardy'.

And presumably out there somebody else is looking forward to seeing 'Tits and Bums 3' or whatever, but instead is getting 'The Dambusters'.

So what becomes of all these naughty DVDs ,eh,Robert?

yesss,that would be a bit of an anti-climax wouldn't it?

Seriously? They get put in the safe for erm safe keeping until discreet disposal at a later date.

pssst.....any particular titles your after then, Dave?

So, you're in charge of 'discreet disposal' then?

oh yes, that was the title of one of the 'snuff movies' i came across.

Just posting up one of my Portmeirion piccies again as part of a 'then and now' comparison which i always find fascinating.

Congratulations to your daughter on her pregnancy, especially for choosing (huh? ) to have a son ..........that'll save her about eighty thousand quid in the future when he gets married.

I think she's probably going to spend at least that on designer clothes for him ....

She's over the moon as she really wanted a boy, but his Daddy was hoping for a girl, he already had her name picked out. Maybe next time.

well, he's only got himself to blame.

Very true.

I think his family runs to boys so he could be waiting a very long time for his daughter.

Speaking of dams, I once saw a dvd in a shop with the title 'Gurgling Beavers' that wasn't about dambuilding and beavers at all.

It turns out that there is a whole genre of porn dedicated to woman who don't get a brazilian wax. That dvd was one of them. I have no idea what the word 'gurgling' means. Perhaps I misread it. But I thought the title was very funny.

Rob, I'm not the kind of person who does things like this without planning carefully. Although my boyfriend suggested the other day that I just should leave my job and see what happens. But it might be trick to turn me into a fulltime housekeeper.

That would make working in a charityshop a bit too exciting, now wouldn't it?

With unemployment being what it is its just as well to take your time. Its so easy to 'act in haste, repent at leisure' as so many find out when they make sudden rash decisions without thinking things through properly.
