Contractor Lifestyle

[threaded]

Little dinner party, had a glass or two. Oops! Cook has just realised there isn't quite enough cream for the apple pie desert.

So, I've phoned for a taxi to go buy some and fetch it.

Taxi?

A real contractor would call a stretch limo to go get it.

Are you in 'Come dine with me'?

I can think of a lateral solution to this dilemma, full of protein, but I don't think the guests are going to like it...

Is your cook so incompetent that she cannot manage the kitchen stores, or is she the best you can afford? I’d have words with your housekeeper about getting a replacement. Why is being brought to your attention; your staff should sort all this out without having to trouble you with this trivia.

Anyway, can’t you get some sent up from the dairy on the home farm on your estate?

No, because they'd be expecting something chilled.

They're all watching "Small and big sins" (aka Heartbeat) now. Playing "spot the anachronism"

These are Danes:
"Oh, Fylingdales is just to the left of that shot. They could include that."
"Yes, but it's been upgraded since. There's a big trapezoidal thing now."

I think it could be something to do with me nicking some earlier... I run things more on a matrix mngt so housekeeper is allowed to boss/chide/make example of me about stuff when it's her area of responsibility. I enjoy it.

There're some odd EU rules. I'm know I'm allowed to take whole milk, pre-pasteuriser, but after that I'm fuzzy and leave it to the staff.

used to do that for booze when we were underage, and no contractor cash coming in!!

You'll just have to expand on that, as I don't quite see the relationship to the thread...

I'm here acting as 'judge', Googling like mad when there's a disagreement: "That's the wrong font for a Police station sign!" Trying to concentrate on finding a picture whilst sat in a chair with two rather large chested girls stood very close either side pressing me to perform to their side of the argument.
