So, who wants to help ... to frivol in the cellar? (Part 2)

A new thng will probably sell more than the same old thng at first, as people try it.

And once they realise how horrible it is, you replace it with a newer thing.

Marketing people.

(I worked in a place where the marketing people were praised for selling leased lines, and the techies blamed for not retaining those customers after the first year. We pointed out that the leased lines had not been what the customers needed or wanted, and they were very unhappy with us but couldn’t get out of the contract. But no, marketing people.)

You should hear the Bull about sales folks in the industry

Promising all sorts and failing to ask the techies if it’s even possible

Yay! You just put your house on the market, sell it, buy summick and live happily ever after. Has anyone used ‘Docusign’ super technology? We tried to do this, a couple of hours ago, and I managed (as the 2nd tenant) but Mr Bee had nowhere to enter his ‘signature’ and really didn’t mind this at all. We’ll try to sort this in the morning as we’ve organised removals for 3rd December…Friends are coming for lunch, tomorrow and I must instruct our solicitor to expedite matters… Oh, flip! Any chance of gin?

It’s bad even by the standards of modern commercial web sites. Also it will leak your email address to a whole new lot o spammers.

Imagine the toothpaste needed and as for flossing that lot!

I bet wor limpet is jealous of all those teeth being as how it is marching on its stummick

I actually cleaned a baby orca’s teef in Flamingo Park zoo as a wain

It was lovely and called Cuddles

I was enchanted by it and used a back brush to clean the teeth as it hung in the water with its mouth open

Thanks for the picnic, chowder and gin supplies. We have, today, agreed removal date and costs, instructed (efficient) solicitor, informed (in*******t) estate agent, managed to Docusign our lease agreement, fed lovely Friends and helped to load various items into their car and, now we are lolling about like lolly things.

Well done Beees

Fishy and porkie pies will be ready for the rental hoose so there is a dinner ready to eat

B and I did fishy pies in pastry shells and folk loved them

I will ensure wor wee bee has meat to enjoy as a change from peskytarian’s needs

I respect the wishes of those following diets out of a wish to ensure animal welfare

I just bite my tongue and refrain from shoving bacon butties down their neck
