Nearly.
As some of you are aware, some of you probably aren't and most of you couldn't care, I've moved house.
I now live near The Hague and am renting a room, I've got rid of all my wordly possessions and I've traded in my Renault Megane 1.6 16v sport coupe for....an old grey car of which the passenger door can't close and I'm going to live minimalistically the coming year to save money and travel about a bit.
Anyways...my internet connection is arranged which means I can internet at home again.
BUT...
There's always a but...
I don't have a key to the mailbox. The internet connection letter is in the letterbox and without it I can't pick up my internet modum.
If I look through the letterbox I can see the letter lying there...seriously. It's like a Greek bloody tragedy! It's lying there, taunting me, calling out to me...and I just can't reach it.
I swear to God I can smell it!
I don't give up easily though. I went into the appartment, got a clothes hanger, destroyed it and created a Letter-pick-up-machine.
I should be an inventor, I'm telling you the truth. Sometimes I even amaze myself.
The mailbox is on the outside of the flat, downstairs beside all the other mailboxes. So, I went down with my letter-pick-up-machine, peered into the mailbox and laughed triumphantly. I quickly realised though that I'd need two letter-pick-up-machines to actually be able to grab the letter. So I went back up stairs, nicked a clothes hanger of my roommate and made a second machine.
Now, I know some of you are probably thinking: "Why on earth not just use a kitchen-grab-utensil, which you use on the BBQ to turn meat around?"
Well, I did think of that, right after the policeman asked what I thought I was doing prying in the letterbox.
I explained that my internet connection letter was in there.
I explained that I don't have the key to my letterbox yet.
I explained that the letter was calling out to me like the one ring calls out to Boromir (I actually think this last part went over his head).
He explained that if I didn't move my sorry arse away from the letterboxes he'd arrest me and my letter-pick-up-machines.
HOW BLOODY UNFAIR CAN LIFE GET???
My roommate won't be home until tomorrow!
And that will be tomorrow evening!
So, I'm betting that by the time I actually have the letter in my hands the bloody post office will be closed!
AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH whimper

"Now, I know some of you are probably thinking: "Why on earth not just use a kitchen-grab-utensil, which you use on the BBQ to turn meat around?"
No, actually I was thinking "who the hell really cares about this stuff?"
Sorry dude, but this crap is just boring. I mean do we really need to know every freaking detail about this??
Do you really think people actually want to hear every minute detail of my neighbours wife's sister-in-law's brother that nearly chopped off his hand in an exciting lawn dart championship quarter final last weekend???
The answer is no & it's about time somebody said something ... So give it up!
But I digress.
Have a nice day.

any story where there is a run-in with the police is worth telling. i remember beaning a cop with apple when i was 12 years old ... must've have been a distance of 30 feet or so, man what a right arm i had back then. and afterwards, boy did i get scolded by my parents, the school adminstrators, and the police.

Shavi, I feel your pain. It's like all the times I have locked my keys in my car, sometimes with the car running. You can see those keys. They are so close, so mouth watering ly close. You push your hand against the glass, but to no avail. Then you get the coat hanger and you attempt to reach the locky device. And you are so close to pushing the button......but the coat hanger slips.......argh!!!!!!!!!!!
