dear garden centre
5 years ago, my boss bought a monkey puzzle tree from you.
it has now died.
please replace it, or he'll sue you.

dear carpet people
my stupid dad bought a pale cream carpet from you.
he immediately stained it in several places by failing to take off his shoes as he came in.
the stains won't come out.
give him a new one, or he'll sue you.

I got my boss a new baby monkey puzzle tree, and my dad got a new carpet.

fucking idiots. However you realise that you probably caused them to put up the price for everyone else

essentially my boss spent a fortune in there on a regular basis because he had exotic fish, and they didn't want to lose him. so they gave him a baby tree as a compromise, everyone was happy.

but I am simply too inept to look after them properly, and they would die.

turned the light on in my lounge last night; the lights flickered wildly and I could SEE orange flamey stuff moving around behind the plaster work, and the switch started smoking.
I panicked and spent about an hour in the dark staring at it (may have been drinking) before thinking fuck it and going to bed. now I need a bastard electrician.

It may well have just been a surge at the transformer...
Best thing to do:
when you get in take a shower and ensure that you are still wet from head to foot...
If possible have a bowl of water handy to stand in...
Turn on as many electrical items as you can...
and then run your (still wet) hands over the plaster work to see if you can locate any charge.
