Quick Giggles Part One......

Before I let you loose on the quick giggles I just wanted to tell you I'm going away tomorrow, so this will be my last post for a couple of weeks.

We are going to El Gouna on the Red Sea (Egypt). It was a last minute, all inclusive, deal and I've checked the hotel out on the internet, including customer reviews, and it sounds fantastic! Obviously I will take loads of photographs and tell you all about it when I get back. Oh, and my knee is doing so well I won't be taking a crutch with me!

Please try not to blog too much whilst I'm away then I won't miss anything!

Enjoy a laugh now.............


EXTRACTS FROM ACTUAL LETTERS SENT TO VARIOUS COUNCILS AND HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS THROUGHOUT THE UK:

  1. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

  2. I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.


  3. ........ and their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.


  4. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off. My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?


  5. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.


  6. Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant. We are getting married in September and we would like it in the garden before we move into the house.


  7. I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.


  8. 50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and the rest are plain filthy.


  9. I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.


  10. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.


  11. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.


  12. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.


  13. Would you please send a man to repair my spout. I am an old age pensioner and need it badly.


  14. I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6 a.m. his cock wakes me up and its now getting too much for me.


  15. The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.


  16. Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so please send someone round to do something about it.


  17. I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man I have on top of me every night.


  18. Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.


  19. This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can't get BBC2.


  20. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing on it.


  21. .........and he's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore.


  22. .....that is his excuse for his dog's mess that I find hard to swallow.

Oh...I'm so jealous now!! Love the joke...Have a great vacation, but if you don't hurry back home, I'm gonna pinch all your awards!
;-) Will miss you!

RUTH said...

Thanks for the giggles... some great ones! I remember my mum once saying a workman had insisted that he had to "come up her back passage"; Mick & I just looked at each other and burst out laughing while my poor Mum sat there looking at us as though we were mad wondering what was so funny about that! Have a really wonderful holiday; Egypt is one of those dream destinations. Will miss you loads (I mean that) but look forward to all the posts and photos when you get back.
{hugs}

Have fun on vacation! When you read these communication bloopers, it always reminds me of a phrase I read once; "I wish people that have trouble expressing themselves would just shut up"!

Gledwood said...

Excellent stuff.
Have a great time at the Red Sea... do make sure you at least go out in a glass-bottomed boat if you don't go diving: the coral's meant to be some of the best in the entire world ...
Have you seen the pyramids & all that? I was thinking of them only today, strangely. Wow! I would love to see them!!
You're in my links now! Sorry it took so long, they've got really disorganized and I was going to delete the people who never get in touch with me... but this is such a formidable task I'm just adding the people who DO keep in touch .
Have a great time abroad!

All the best

Jo's-D-Eyes said...

Wow, I was wondering if I would post a comment and if you are able to read them all, but what I want to say is: HAVE a GREAT trip to Egypt,

I have been there also , ( 10 years ago)we went by boat (A fellucca?)on the river, this was very interesting. I also remember the children, they wanted to 'polish' my shoes, but ehh I was wearing gymnastic shoes, not very handy for them. I saw a lot of children working there on the streets. I wonder if its still that way now?

When you visit my blog... I am leaving next week for France, wiil be back medium of August... Have fun there!
