About 1/2 an hour ago
Thought I'd cook a nice tea for me & Mr BA. Potato cakes in the oven, beef & onion pasties warming nicely, so thought I'd put some nice fresh cabbage in my steamer (one of those stainless steel tower thingies) to go with it all, which I duly did - only I forgot to put any water in the steamer, just left the ring on high for ages. Cue melting the bottom of the steamer all over the cooker and the place now reeking of burnt cabbage. Now I need another steamer to cook my Xmas veggies. MUST remember to put water in the thing this time! Bah

Busted & Breathalised!
Many years ago when living far far away, it was my friend's hen night. We dropped her toddler off at the baysitters and returned to find the drug squad on her doorstep - they'd apparently received a tip off that there were drugs on the premises (there was! - a bag of grass). They proceeded to search the place, sadly ignoring my confession that the drugs were stashed in the cat-litter tray. My pal picked up the bag of grass and a bag of sweets, offered me a sweet which I took, and then she announced that she had to tell her next door neighbour to cancel the taxi we'd ordered to take us out. Before the DS could stop her, she bolted out, ran next door, opened her neighbour's door, threw the bag of grass into the flat, and shouted "Cancel the taxi, we're going to be late. She then strolled back in eating the sweets! The DS didn't find anything either! Result!

We then went out and got completely wasted - naturally! Later, her hubby to be came to pick us up, he had to stop the car in a hurry cos me & my mate were about to do the 5-fingered spray all over the car. With the car stopped, plod appeared and asked why he'd done an emergency stop on an empty road. He tried to explain, but the plod insisted on breathalysing him. They must have smelled the booze stench in the car - us not him!

Predictably, I let fly all down the back of the passenger seat and his breath test was clear! Two brushes with the law in one night!

First post btw. No apologies............ever!

Prague antics
A few years ago, Mr Blackajah & I went to Prague for a long weekend. We unpacked at our lovely hotel and armed with a guide which had recommended a good place to eat, and a map with which we hoped to find our way there, we set off. Hours later (having spectacularly failed to eat anything at all) we dragged ourselves drunkenly back to the hotel where I passed out. Woke up abour 4am to find Mr Blackajah coming back to bed. The next morning he told me that he'd been wandering around the hotel in his boxers as he couldn't find the way back to our room. We laughed ourselves silly over breakfast. Apparently, I also miaow like a cat in my sleep.
