What is going on?

For the last month I have been having problems with cigarette lighters, whenever I pause from the key board to light up I reach to my usual place and either.

1/ My fag lighter has disappeared, (no it's not the budgie knicking them I've checked his cage).

2/ The flint or the gas has run out.

3/ the flint, flints (you know does that sparky thing) the lighter being clear plastic shows that there is enough gas to cause panic on board the Hindenburg but still it won't light!

I mentioned this problem to Mick while we were in the stag,
"Er Mick can you Give me a light? Oh, and while your reaching into your pocket for your lighter you may as well get your baccy out and roll me a fag, in fact pass the baccy over I'll roll my own while you get the beer in Cheers!"

When Mick got back from the bar he told me that he knew a place in town that sold lighters 12 for a pound he said he'd get some for me next time he went out.
Sure enough the following day Mick turns up with a poly' bag full of lighters, I must confess though I haven't even used one of them, since going home that day everywhere I look there is a lighter, it's magic the lighter fairy has gone into full production, it's getting to the state were I'm frightened to open a cupboard because I know that yet another lighter that I haven't seen in years is going to pounce on me! I'm even finding them in the fridge (It was just lying there on the shelf behing that shrivelled mouldy thing that came with the fridge, you know that thing that is now so mis-shapen that even a DNA test would not reveal what it is!).

But let me tell you, that packet of twelve brand new lighters has pride of place on my mantel piece because I know that as soon as I think that I have more lighters than any-one will need in one life time, those damn fairies will be back and pi**ing themselves watching me in the very near future as I search desperately for something to light my fag.

Cashman don't panic it's just another typo' in fact when they get their spell checker to work properly you will find that not just I but you too will support the ban!

It should read:-

It's gremlins. They "borrow" other things too. In this house it's hairbrushes. We have far more hairbrushes than any civilised family should need except in times of war or threat of alien invasion and yet any time I want to brush my hair can I find one of the wretched things?

Come back later and there'll be two or more staring me in the face.

In our house it's pens I can never find one when I need one but there are dozens when I don't

MUMMIBOO · 21-06-2005, 15:04

I am always comming home from work with pens stuck in my hair the kids think it great and its one way to smuggle them home comon there has to be some perks of the job.

I would'nt mind but half the time i dont mean to i just forget they are there i dont have pockets and my ears stick out to much to put my pen there and if i leave it lying around someone half inches it, (what is a girl to do) so i stick them in my pony tail. its always to hand then.

staggeringman · 21-06-2005, 15:32

I haven't bought a pen for years as I used to nick them from GP surgeries when I was on community. The drugs reps leave them as incentive to GP's to prescribe the product from their companies. I have quite a stash of pens now.

The main things to go missing in my house are socks. I do start off with a pair but always mislay just one. I like to think that the washing machine spirits them away and that they end up in some sort of sock nirvana. If you see anyone around town wearing odd socks, it will be me.
