RUIN ME ,NIGEL! GOVERN ME ! TAX MY STAMPS!

thats me -

thats me at a recent seminar, just fudging as usual

oh and this blog may not be time sorted because I keep changing it here and there.

and on the subject of Consumer Rights in Sri Lanka- how about all that misrepresentation in the small print ? I was reading this Service Contract between Ceylon Business Appliance and some poor company and clause number 13 said something like : CBA reserves the right to terminate the contract fully with no reason given whatsoever if it deems necessary.
and this was the service provider mind you ! so half way into the year you need your copier serviced and the service company whom you have paid good money to in January, says no can do and you have to shrug and get on with life.

security situ

Hm,I guess I needed a gang of armed men to knock on my door last night at about 1 am , to realize that my security was next to nil and my dogs were on leave. This is all because my bro fed the cats and left the front door open , and APA was passing through the neighborhood and wanted to see me. ..Im not exaggerating , and I dare say I have been though a lot but opening your bedroom door and finding a huge hairy half drunk and armed cop(although admittedly he was limping after the coffin trip incident -) is one of those things you don’t forget.
He was rather sheepish about it, and polite though, which sort of mitigates the gravity of it, but heck Im going to check the doors from now onwards.
"Very bad security situation,"was all APA had to say giving me a really stern look.

sorry thamai

Among her friends Al is known for providing that proverbial shoulder to cry on,and lending an ear to their troubles etc- so much so that :

APA: (hot STF hunk): here , you don’t know what happened to me, I cant walk –my leg has had it – Im in pain!!!waaaaH!
AJ : Oh my, you poor dear , was it something to do with yesterdays bomb?
APA: not exactly – I was at this army funeral and I was carrying the coffin and I triped and sprained my big toe.
AJ: Uh….

uh...

"Is the Army Commander dead?"
"uhmm...not officially."

funny …. this isn’t my bedroom

Newbie called yesterday evening.
Hes the second of my friends during the last month who had to have their head re stitched and their ears pasted back on and he also got stabbed but Im not clear as to actually where.
He gave me all the lurid details such as how he was left unconscious in a drain (in it self surviving that is a miracle –never mind benig beaten up with hockey sticks and stabbed randomly)and he woke up at about 3 and thought “that’s funny , this isn’t my bedroom…”and then had to flag down a passing lorry and plead with them to get him to hospital on the assurance that he would sign a document absolving them of any involvement in the likely event that he died…
Im seriously wondering whether this is just the kind of people I hang out with- they seem to come from the same factory, like Odel Models…but Im not complaining, see, I can write BOOKS about these people.
and I am.
writing , I mean.

I am what I am

Evelyn: Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am.
Rick: And what is that?
Evelyn: I... am a librarian.

once upon a time

Princess Fiona: You didn't slay the dragon?
Shrek: It's on my "to do" list. Now come on.
Princess Fiona: But this isn't right. ...You're meant to charge in, sword drawn, banner flying-that's what all the other knights did. ...
Shrek: Yeah- right before they burst into flame.

Bahirawayas explained

Sri Lanka is full of buried treasure – if its not the rough gems lying around it would be royal stuff left behind by so many ancient kings who were half the time on the run from regicidal wannabes . So if you just dug about in your back yard a bit you could really find adventure but would you want to is the issue. Legends have rather bad things to say about people who try. The reason given is that these Royal persons kept grabbing hapless passers-by and be-heading them , with the Royal instruction to the dying person to guard the treasure from anyone. So ostensibly the country side was dotted with resentful homicide victims cursed into guarding royal trinkets with all the spiritual might they could muster – the usual vengeful confused earth bound sprits with Unfinished Business.

last night I opened my bedroom window and left it and by morning there were not one but THREE fat cats sleeping purring like engines on my feet and it was a disturbance but quite comfy and happy too!! These were of course our cats although I doubt cats are ever owned- Pitchy ,Peekachew and Ginger Nuts( we are considering changing his name to Strawberry - because he feels like a large heavy berry covered in straw- of course) but by morning the two black ones had moved off, and only Ginger was still around looking rather dazed and confused as usual...
hes the one with the balance problem

thanks Ruf for sharing your birthday with me, it makes me feel REALLY special- and hope this buddy ship goes from strenght to strength.

dear friends just to notify you that what I have often feared would happen ,just did and my brand new Nokia 2300 handphone was stolen on a local bus. my dialog number 0776561954 is thus never going to ring again and Im simply too traumatized to bother with trying for replacements have decided stay "mobile-less" till about next year, as 1)I cant afford to buy one and 2)I wont be able to have any peace with worrying if it will happen again. I'm just glad it wasn't a very expensive one. just a word of caution - Dialog GSM and the local mobile phone companies could easily put a damper on this on going racket of mobile phone theft ,if they simply had a registry of the IMES numbers of stolen phones and refused to activate them-They do not do so because they are only interested in getting connections. So there is no recourse as usual for the poor disadvantaged bus commuter who has to apart from all the other list of misery in local buses, fall very easy prey to druggies who can easily relieve you of a months earnings in one swipe.Mobile phone theft has become so common these days that no one finds it a surprise ,never the less it is rather depressing when it finally does happen to you - so try not to let it. I guess the only thing you can do is anchor your phone to you (at the risk of being dragged somewhere if there is a tangle) and password protect your phone just to stall for time. (that may not really help)I guess its also the case of the lower middle class being messed from every side as usual. .. I ve been watching this for some time now,with some morbid fascination....remember Im out of contact but still your friend---ok if its really urgent Im back to the Hutch number - but incoming messages only .

how can you ever grieve?

Picky came back
