I had to lecture for 3 days at Birmingham University the free bars were nearly the end of me.

pendy · 15-03-2005, 16:40

FREE BARS? I might even go to Birmingham for that! Cheap, I grant you, but never had a free bar .....

I think it was staff only but it was good I was just their as a visiting lecturer.

pendy · 15-03-2005, 16:44

So was I staff, but no free beer - with student union prices, I have occasionally managed a hangover that lasted almost the week .....

They were paying for my services so I assume they thought they must entertain me. It cost them.

Lettie has a confession about her lucky pants that she did not air the first time round. Here is your chance Lettie and anyone else who failed to contribute.

It's not so much a confession. My lucky pants were brought out for special occasions such as interviews, first dates etc, so that the event would go well. I wouldn't mind but they were the oldest most unfashionable pair of knickers ever!!! Everytime I wore them I seemed to have good luck so they became lucky pants until they were demoted to duster status in 1998.

Does anyone else on here have lucky pants or any other item of lucky clothing???

garinda · 13-05-2005, 07:25

We usually head up to our vacation home in New Hampshire to celbrate Christmas, which allows us to share the holidays with my sister and her family, as well as my in-laws.

On Christmas Eve, I was preparing supper for the gang and singing to amuse my self. I really got into singing "The Judge's Song" from Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial By Jury. When I reached the line, "She may very well pass for forty-three
In the dusk, with a light behind her!" my father-in-law started to laugh uncontrollably. While I was well aware that it was my wife's birthday (that's why I was preparing dinner), I had quite forgotten that it was her 43rd.
Took me quite some time to convince her that I had not sung that line just to annoy her!
