Three interesting things

1. Have moved house.
2. Have quit my job.
3. But thirdly and most crucially, have noticed, via Gussly, that there’s a bum gun for sale on eBay. If anybody thinks to buy me this I PROMISE it will be installed in Villa Kim Bah Lee with photographic evidence. (For more background on the bum gun phenomenon, read this post)

More to follow, particularly on points one and two once the telephone man has been and installed t’internet. He’ll be here tomorrow between nine in the morning and five in the afternoon, of course. I said that was quite difficult. And they said … “but it’s free!”

Stupid me.

Taxipost stole two kilos of tea

On returning to Brussels (wet), there was a pile of post (largely dry, often junk). The pile included a notification from Taxipost (post that isn’t delivered by taxi, despite the name). It told me that I’d missed a delivery and that they’d keep it for 7 days.

7 days, in the middle of August, when everybody is on holiday.

7 days, before they send it back halfway around the world.

7 days.

7 days later, when I was still abroad, they sent me another note telling me that it would be returned to sender. This was a week before I got back.

So this morning I called them.

It turned out they had it, but they sent it back. To China. To somebody called “Anus Scott”. And no, there’s nothing I can do about it.

So I called “Anus“. Turns out it was two kilos of tea.

Damn.
