Return To Oz (Or Something Less Predictable)
Entry 52 of 84 | show all | print this entry |
Ah yes, back in beautiful Australia for Christmas and New Year. Mick and Nodlaig have been kind enough to let us use their apartment, since they've gone home for Xmas. Although he will undoubtedly threaten to sue me, here is the list of house rules Mick emailed me, complete with spelling errors:
1. No sleeping in my bed. In fact no doing anything in, under, above, around or anywhere within a 10m radius of my bed, there's no need to go in to my room. I have got a nice double bed air mattress for you and an electric pump.
2. Make sure you put the bin pout everyday. Actually don't use the bin we actually don't use it and it has become a bit of an ornament. Use a plastic bag all you have to do is put it down the shoot outside the apartment door.
3. If you're using the washing machine make sure you turn the taps on and put the outlet pipe into the sink. Make sure you turn off the taps after use.
4. Don't leave food lying about.
5. Don't put old food i.e pizza slices etc in the fridge just eat it or through it out.
6. Open the balcony door to let some air in and leave your smelly boots on the balcony.
7. Don't hang washing off the balcony. You can hang it on the close horse on the balcony. But the old busy bodies on the management committee go ape about washing being hung on the balcony.
8. Don't interfere in anyway with Nodlaig's teddys. She will KILL you.
9. No wearing my clothes (not that you will want to).
10. No wearing Nodlaigs clothes!
11. Keep the place clean.
I'll email you with the rest of the rules as I make them up
Talk to you soon.
Give my regards to your bird (I thought I'd never say those words to you again!)
Regards
Michael

I'm his sister and he writes 'Regards' to me as well. I'm amused to see his spelling is still crap ('put the bin pout', 'through it out'!). Anyway, thanks to Brian Malone for the tip-off about this list, I've been hunting it down for weeks and it didn't disappoint! Great to see this sort of cleanliness advice from the guy who when he was 12 wore the same pair of pyjamas for an entire summer wit... show all

At least thats somewhat positive... Its saying that you like the person, you probably only met them once or twice but at least you've giving off some good vibes, a bit gay but good.
Rearguards,

Yeh, I couldn't believe it either. I've known him 16 years and he has the nerve to write 'regards'.
I thought I had that all behind me when I left work, but no.
I also hated it when people write 'kind regards', as opposed to normal regards.
Kind regards,
simon.

Happy New Year buddy!!
I hate receiving any sort of mail with the word regards written at the end. I find it really impersonal and irritating especially when every work related email finishes with 'regards'. I dont even know what it means. When you send someone your regards what exactly are you sending? I just dont know what a 'regard' is, and how can there be many of them? and why would... show all
