Argos and the thrice cancelled shed

[whisky]

Timeline:

Saturday, went on training course to ride a moped, realised they were a bit wider than I thought, and wouldnt squeeze in my garage next to the car.

Sunday, went to Argos, ordered a big metal shed, was told it would be delivered on wednesday.

Monday, got moped, crashed it after ten minutes, went to hospital, vowed never to ride again.

Tuesday morning, rang up to cancel shed from argos,

certainly sir

came the reply, that was easy I thought.

Tuesday afternoon, text to mobile phone from argos, reminding me of delivery tomorrow, rings up argos again,

yes sir, definitely still cancelled

.

Wednesday morning, phone call to mobile,

hello this is argos, your shed will be arriving shortly

, no I cancelled it yesterday, twice, I replied,

Would you like the delivery cancelled or the shed itself?

Both please!

And so its done, hopefully, although I still keep listening out for a massive truck to pull up.

It's a sign from TPTB that you shouldn't give up.

Basically, you're in either a Jim Carrey or Bill Murray movie, and you're the main character. If you get back on your moped you'll probably win the lottery or cure malaria or something, but first you have to accept that metal shed.

He has to also accept the love of his life, WHO JUST TURNS OUT TO BE HIS WIFE!

He will also befriend a young teenage boy who has just SMOKED MARIJUANA and will soon be giving head for crack. Luckily, some wise words from Whisky make this child see the light, and they grow close, yet not creepy close.

REMEMBER WHEN VICTOR MELDREW HAD PORN IN HIS BIG METAL SHED.

 

[headvoid]

Did he grow close to a teenage boy at this point?

The one when he went to the video store for pop corn and came home with cop porn?

 

[CaptainWacky]

THAT WAS AN ACTUAL EPISODE!

Whoever came up with that idea must've felt like they'd reached a crescendo in their creative life and it could only go downhill from there.

Well the guy who wrote One Foot In The Grave also writes Jonathan Creek...so yes.
