CHCB says...
...that she doesn't really 'do' the OT board, but if we want to give her idea for the QOTW a go, we can. It was:

"I was once dumped by a Blues musician - woke up this morning and the fecker had gone. Tell us the ironies in your life while avoiding Alanis Morissette comments.
(Note: may not be suitable for Merkins.)"

I've had enough of films for one week - may check back in for the 'best of' on Thursday, but I'm gonna give this one a go. No RL experiences but I reckon I can come up with one or two fictional ones.

Please feel free to add.

Actually: 100% fact
My brother once got a job in a bakery because he needed the dough.

Not sure this counts, but, it's home time.

See you all tomorrow.

Sometimes on buses or trains
the emergency exit is a window. In order to escape from the vehicle, you have to break the glass. A small hammer is provided for this purpose.

In a glass case, with 'In emergency, break glass' written on it...

And why should it not be appropriate for Americans?
Irony: one of the things my ex used to rag on me about is the amount of beer I drink over the course of an evening- she felt that between 6:00 and 11:00 four beers was excessive.

So who did she marry after me? A man who had done jail time for multiple DUIs, who ultimately died as a result of drug overdose.

My girlfriend's anaemic.
She could do with being a bit more irony.

@al
You see, I was taking the theme of irony to a different level, I was ironically posting about my girlfriend needing to be more irony, in a thread about irony, meaning something entirely different.

Pffft, I'm such a card.

Don't say anything bad about the messiah though, or she'll turn your cock into Rosie O'Donnell's plaything.

Many many years ago
I suppose I was dumped by a rather sweet little punk girl.

The irony?. She really was rather posh, much posher than anyone would ever believe. Seriously middle upper!

I think CHCB
just likes a bit more bile and ranting than normally happens on OT. She's not really into cake and kittens.

Yay!
Our own QOTW! With blackjack! And hookers!

In fact, forget the QOTW!

*neglects kitten*
*stamps on cake*
*types "meh"*
*scowls*

My irony is undone: I'm getting on just peachy with the Blues Musician these days, though ironically he now can't sing "Woke up this morning/de DEH de DEH dah/and the woman who keeps me in bacon sandwiches was gone*".

It's true about the bile. I've spent 32 years cultivating the lack of fluffeh. And al's right about my mother.

(* and actually, he keeps me in bacon sandwiches. I keep him in salad and healthy shit.)

How's about this:
[95% true]

Our company is spending £150m over the next three years in order to save £150m of costs per annum thereafter.

What are the chances of saving £150m EACH year as a result of this programme? Getting on for one year in and the most visible result so far is that the place is swarming with consultants from one of the big firms - all of who have rented flats here for the duration as well as travelling back down south at the end of the week.

Costs? Don't talk to me about costs.

Oh, and...
...I don't really 'Do' the OT board either. Not like some of you nutters!

Main reason: I'm trying to lose half a stone, and I SWEAR that virtual cake is the reason for my big tum.

Cost saving irony
In an attempt at cost saving: my company sends me to Paris once a month, puts me up in big, posh hotels & sends me out for dinner in fancy Parisian restaurants.

The next day we'll have a meeting for a few hours before we go for a very long, very French lunch.

I then get back on the Eurostar with a very distended belly and a slight wobble in my step, and sleep all the way back to sunny Londres.
