Re: Feng Shui Advice?
Since I'm now sure of winning, (thanks to your help) why don't you PM me your bank account details in advance so that I can transfer an appropriate amount?

Re: Feng Shui Advice?

Re: Feng Shui Advice?
All your old chinese woman friend has contributed is to make an unsuspecting, (dare I say naive?) poster give up on breathe-right strips. Thereby making her OH's life unbearable due to her snoring.
Fancy car?
I think not.

The vultures are circling already are they? A fancy car, is it?

BTW, my Chinese friend was young and attractive, oo, and a doctor.
PS. a peg on the nose might stop the snoring.
PPS, my Chinese friend also said that it was unlucky to live in a house opposite another road, a T junction spot. Seems reasonable to me. All those trucks careering into your house when they fail to stop at the stop sign. You wouldnèt notice though, what with being at the back of the house glueing the loo lid down after hammering the bath plug into the plug hole, all the while with a peg on your nose.

Re: Feng Shui Advice?
I know all of you regular lags think I was taking the mickey with these questions, but I have a friend who's cousin tried Feng Shui and won the big one in Germany.
I've come to the realization that science isn't the answer to everything and barren number theory doesn't explain why my friend's cousin (who used to live in Battenburg, but now has emigrated to San Moreno) won the big one just by rearranging the furniture and buying an elephant.
She has lots of room for it in her new house too.
So.... I've moved the bathtub away from the bog to make more space for the chi to flow and I've geo-engineered a sloping hill behind the house.
This represents a considerable investment of course, so I've only got enough left for one shot at the Lotto tonight.
But it's absolutely bound to be the winner. And then you'll all be laughing on the other side of your faces.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battenberg_cake
Interesting side note on the same page.
"On 10 April 2008 the British Food Standards Agency asked for a voluntary ban on artificial food colourings and suggested that the ban would be practical by the end of 2009. This would mean that certain foods such as mushy peas, battenberg cakes, Turkish Delight and tinned strawberries might disappear temporarily or permanently, unless an alternative natural food colouring is found."
Shock horror and all that, NO MORE Mushy Peas.

I know lots of people that think that way. They then happily sit down in indian restaurants and talk about how tasty yellow split pea dal is.

I haven't been in, in a few years so I don't know if they still sell them.

...No sign of Novo I see? I'm beginning to think the numbers may have come up and he's pi**ed off somewhere exotic with all the winnings?
