A world of charm awaits the lucky few in the market for a side table that Empress Meishō used for tea ceremonies.
No, I meant that I that I didn't mention charm or being charming in the comment where I spoke about working at Argos. I just said that I was unenthusiastic. Like, it was 1989 and I was 19 and just wanted to earn enough money to go Inter-Railing with my then-gf, but I was surrounded by people who aspired to Argos middle-management (AND BEYOND!!) and I just didn't care. You've got your own melon twisted, man. Stop projecting. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

Stop projecting. So you could’ve been managing a group of two or even three Argos stores now. Think what you could have - a house in Bedfordshire or Northamptonshire, that you don’t live in because your ex wife got it, a leased BMW, stocktakings, away days, motivational flipcharts, conferences in Birmingham, even in Minneapolis or Orlando. You fool. |

| This reminds me of how I used to buy two copies of the Highway Code, so I could cut out the road signs on both sides of the road sign pages. I would then mount them on matchsticks to add realism to my toy town. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'
