Trying to sit and write a wedding speech
Click to expand...
My wedding speech was pretty decent, went down well - first half I made sure I thanked everyone for coming, thanked my and her parents for everything they'd done for us, thank the bridesmaids and groomsmen etc. Then I told a couple of funny stories, like the first time I met her parents, a couple of other cute stories of our early moments together where I got to take the piss out of the missus and everyone had a good laugh at her. Which I thought was fair enough because I was about to take shots off the best man speech after that anyway. Also threw in some nice 'romantic' bits as well of course. I had the 'thank you' parts written down to make sure I didn't forget anyone, but for the story-telling bit I just noted down which stories to tell so I could say them more naturally instead of reading everything off a page. My whole speech was about 6 minutes in total I think.
 
I bought some new in ear / sport headphones, nice ones. There are 3 different ear buds to ensure they fit well into my ear. Unfortunately for me none of the 3 sit tightly :(. I must have a freaky ear shape.

Reckon that’s triple the length of my speech 😂😂 Got it over with ASAP
 
The moron mother who just tried to take a pushchair and accompanying child across a two lane road in Staines town centre when there was a pedestrian crossing not 20 yards away. And yes of course she was on the phone at the same time.

this forms one of my massive bug bears.. you can remove the mother bit (which is bad enough in its own right.. putting the life of her child in danger) but idiots who walk across the road (expecting you to stop) when 10-20 yards of a crossing (not on the crossing itself)

happens constantly near me where they built a zebra crossing 20 yards before a mini roundabout.. half the lazy sods just walk out right at the junction ignoring the crossing built for them and expect you to stop.

The one that winds me up is when you see the parent standing safely on the kerbside yet have their pushchair in the road 😠
 
It's all gone downhill since the Green Cross Code man took up that job as the Empire's henchman. (David Prowse for those not old enough to remember)
 
Girl sat behind me telling everyone she got 100% in an assessment.

“Yea I got 16.5 out of 17 in the main question and that rounds up.”

No. It really doesn’t.

I remember meeting David Prowse dressed as the Green Cross Code Man in Alders department store in Chatham, at the time I thought he was literally a giant and heron because real people weren't that big 😂

Then as I got older and found out he was Darth Vader I thought was even cooler that I'd met a Sith Lord 😂
 
Remembering my dinner has been in the oven for 35 mins, when it only takes 25 mins to cook, hmm tasty carbon :LOL:
 
You're right - he doesn't need to spend anything. People can just log on here and find out for free.
 
EE WiFi. Mrs Wolf in her infinite wisdom decides to switch us from BT to EE as they had a better offer on, promised better speeds and service. We've had it 3 weeks I've already had to buy a booster to get it throughout the house, it crashes daily when doing anything and they're service is garbage..

Not fit for purpose. Can you cancel the contract based on that, and go back to BT?

Literally just off the phone with them now, cancelled and sending the box and router back 😒.
Now to find a new provider. BT most likely getting my business again as they were easy to deal with.
