I am at 2 below me.

The 2nds are doing great but haven't had time to form an opinion yet.

I still have one first that is a conundrum.

That reminds me of my old mate Gerry, Tack. This is a true story, funny in a sort of twisted way.

I was doing roadwork at the time and had to get another gang in to follow along with the footpath - Gerry was their ganger. He was a really nice, funny bloke, and we got to chatting while working (yeah - we worked and talked - I was the boss!).

One morning during tea break, Gerry said to us: "I had a really weird phonecall last night. Some bloke phoned up around midnight and when I said hello he yelled down the phone 'who the hell is that?!!!!!' so I said 'never mind who I am, what the hell are you doing calling at this time of night?' The guy then says 'put the wife on the phone' so I tell him I am in bed with her and she is asleep and that I will not wake her up. He then goes 'OK so that's how it is - I am coming round right now and when I get there I am going to smash your face in."

I asked Gerry what happened - he said no-one came round and he couldn't make it out - must have been a nut-job.

Later on in the day it suddenly hit me - the guy had gone out for the night, must have been late and decided to phone his wife. He obviously got a wrong number... I often wonder what he did to his Mrs. when he got back...

That is really true. When I told Gerry what I thought he fell down on the sand bed he had just made for the flagstones, rolling about laughing his head off.

Some people have no consideration for others...
