Werl, I ‘ope for the best. I’ve certainly found a good stabbin’ in the head solves many problems.

I wish you well, with the stabbing, Twellsy, and hope that it lessens those horrible headaches. Although (and I am not in the slightest envious) I don’t have your awful health problems, I do have diagnosed occipital neuralgia and am considering a referral from my indifferent GP.
The bottles are labelled and the tickets are folded. Somehow, number 200 was missing from the bottle side of things (iyswim) so the redoubtable Mr Soo has unfolded and refolded all of the tickets, only to find no number 200. Gah! This prolly makes no sense, on reflection, but it izz an irritating mystery.

Perhaps it is an unlucky number in Hainan province?

It makes perfect sense, Soo: if someone got ticket number 200 and there were no bottle to match it that would be unfair, so ticket 200 had to be removed if it was there. Good for Mr Soo undertaking all that boredom so that it would be done right.

We always keep aside two unlabelled bottles, just in case of Hainan (!) stylee mysteries. (I had suggested that I should undertake the boring task, Fishers, but Mr Soo insisted that he must do this.) All appears to be well, apart from Mr Soo’s annual assertion that he will never do this again. I have gathered together a sensible float of coinage and notes, to reduce the stress of the first few customers brandishing twenty pound notes for one 50p ticket. Also, we have a motley collection of carrier bags, to assist those who haven’t come prepared. And, breathe.

Well that was exemplary behaviour, I must say. Possibly a tad bonkers, mind you, Carinthia.
I s’pose the delivery person woud’ve been in doo-doo, though.
Prolly for the best, then.

Having set up the bottle tombola stall, we are enjoying a cuppa, prior to this afternoon’s melee.
I’d like to order a Perfect Martini and some Pickled Smoked Garlic {{{swoon}}} for my return, please.
(Wish I had a Slaughterbot.)

The old pickled smoked garlic is still available, though it’s a bit Enthusiastic (it’s been in for about ten years).
The new pickled smoked garlic smells lovely but will not be available for a while yet. (I reckon at least three months until first testing.)
Good luck wiv yer (shudder) public-facing job, soo! Have a Stiffenin’ Summat to go wiv the rest.
