DigiTales & Other Stories

(Actually it’s my friends Matt & Tanya’s beautiful baby boy Tom!)

So I’m in Redmond and for the first time this year the sun has come out!

Microsoftees have taken to the tables outside RedWest C cafe and are soaking up the rays while having lunch.

What is alarming are the amount of sandals on show. They’re not being worn by the women but by the MEN! I know this is an outdoorsy kind of state and pretty relaxed, but guys I work with you! I don’t want to see your gnarled toenails and calluses.

What’s even worse than the typical Washington dress sense is the trend for wearing socks with sandals!!!

Seriously guys, spend some of those share options on a makeover!!!

Stayed here at the weekend - what a great place but there were lots of kids around!

Got nothing against kids, but this sign I thought provided ample warning to parents tempted to let them run riot!

This woman makes her living from this kind of stuff! I don’t think she looks anything like her.

I’m now signing up to the agency and am touting myself as Greg Proops!

My Dad rang me at work yesterday:

“Are you free to talk?”

“Yes sure!”

“Do you know anything about DVD players?”

“A little…”

“Well everytime I put a DVD in my silver machine it plays the first tune and then repeats it and I have to push the little arrow to get to the next tune.”

“Do you mean DVD or CD Dad?”

[Pause]

“CD……yes CD not DVD”

“You’ve set it to repeat somehow.”

“It says “repeat” on the little screen.”

“Press a few buttons till the “repeat” goes away…”

“Right! It’s gone away now….thank you….BYE!”

[Clunk.......dialling tone........]

 

Who could have been taken in by this? Come Auntie don’t be so obvious!!!

Well that explains it all very nicely!

Next time you fall out of a pub or club at closing time and you need a ride home, when some bloke whispers “minicab” as you stumble past, just hope he’s no relation to this guy!
