The bus driver
I got on this morning, paid for my £2.10 ticket with a Tenner, and apologised saying "Sorry, it's all I've got", with a sheepish smile.

He looked at the note like it was coated in shit, then at me, before taking the money, and printing the ticket. He then gave me the change in coins, before sarcastically saying "Sorry, it's all I've got", and just sounding a twat.

Fucking hate wankers like that.

I don't get the bus very often, but I'll be pleased when eventually everything can be paid for by card, I'm rubbish with carrying money. Bus drivers would love me though because I always have to make it up out of crappy bits of change because I'm usually skint.

Cut one of my belts in half, slit these halves in six strips about 8 inches long. I whipped his bare behind till the blood ran from his legs. I cut off his ears – nose – slit his mouth from ear to ear. Gouged out his eyes. He was dead then. I stuck the knife in his belly and held my mouth to his body and drank his blood".

I know a lot of folk that found them useful though, especially after using them a few times. Is that an adjustable angle set square?

Feeling better after a good night
A bit fed up with people not answering my emails and not confirming what they are doing... And my mother didn't call me yesterday and hasn't emailed me yet, which means that she's ver upset with me.

That's a bit hard on her, poor woman, she's helping me a lot, to be fair, it's that she puts a lot of pressure on at the same time.

Mark called her yesterday "bloody nuisance" and then told me that that's a 3/10 in the insults scale and I shouldn't get upset with him, but I'm not sure if I can trust him on that :)

Depends how British he is
For a British gentleman to refer to someone as a bloody nuisance is probably about 8/10, whereas we commoners could call her a meddling skag and it would only be 3/10.

Not that I'm calling your mother a meddling skag, it was an example!

we had a guy come into the office with his very elderly mother who was becoming a bit forgetful
and he wanted to change the will which had previously left the house to his sister because she was living there whilst she spent every day looking after the mum. He told the solicitor that his mum wanted to change the will to cut the sister out entirely and leave everything to him. Luckily, the solicitor involved made the guy wait outside whilst she took uncoerced instructions and the mum didn't seem to know what was going on so the solicitor refused to amend the will, but he probably found a way around it. Cunt.

My mum asked us which of her diamond rings we wanted her to leave in her will and I chose the little eternity ring and the engraved wedding ring because they were the prettiest and they meant the eternity ring meant the most.

Just to look at this subject from the side of those leaving the money for a moment.
I have something of a dilemma. Our family group consists of myself and my partner. Daughter 1 who is from my partner's previous relationship and daughter 2 who is both of ours.
The dilemma is with our wills. Daughter 1's Dad earns more than my partner & me combined,but at this point has little in the way of assets. He has no other children. SHould we split whatever we have equally between the two girls so that they feel like they have been treat equally by us. Or should we make some "offset" in favour of daughter 2 so that they have an overall equality from their three parents?

Thanks to you both.
To be fair, step-daughter's dad has always been fairly financially generous with regard to her. I'm increasingly thinking that the will should be split 50/50, more for the emotional legacy than anything else. However, I may speak to both my step-daughter and her dad and explain that when my dear old mum eventually pops off that some of that money will be set aside for daughter 2.
