I"ve been meaning to resurrect this thread for a while, but there never seemed to be something newsworthy to kick it off. What could be more newsworthy than the Olympics, though? I went to see The Flame on Sunday evening, which seemed fairly dull to me, but most others seemed pleased with it.

I went to see the flame when it came through - it was extremely dull. But I did get a free bottle of coke - so that made it all worthwhile  :)

I saw the flame. it burned a bit but that was all it did.

John, this diary should really be in the blogs section.

I"m sure Paulie will move it in a minute :-)

Dear John,

Whilst playing Call of Duty on my PS3 tonight, i spilt a glass of Jack Daniel"s and coke on the cream front room carpet.

Do you have any cleaning tips for the removal of said stain?

Much obliged

Stu

Dear Stu X

I don"t really play computer games these days, so I"m not sure I can answer your question. I definitely haven"t played the one you mention, though I used to be pretty nifty at Asteroids and a crack-shot at Breakout. Call of Duty sounds quite militaristic to me, so I wouldn"t recommend drinking at the same time. Funnily enough, I had my front room carpet cleaned yesterday. I was going to replace it as it was badly marked, but cleaning seems to have done the trick. £95 (including a large rug) rather than maybe £500 to replace. I can give you the contact details if you want to bring your carpet with you the next time you"re visiting Portsmouth.

When I was married, my ex-wife once somehow made an iron-burn on the front-room carpet, just like they do in the movies. We told the insurance people and their assessor told us that it was a Wilton or Axminster or something, which we didn"t know cos it came with the house. They valued it at £600 and sent us a cheque pronto, when we only thought we would get about £200. We didn"t really feel like throwing it out once we knew it was a decent one, so we transferred it upstairs to the main bedroom, which was over the front-room and the same size. We needed to change the carpet there anyway and the mark went under a wardrobe. I suggest you try a similar strategy. Otherwise, buy a rug.

John

Thanks Suzanne - I have a feeling that Rich Stevenson wrote something similar (though presumably better) at some point and I may have nicked a bit of it. Not sure. I hope that doesn"t come across differently to how I mean, cos he was obviously a class apart. Anyhow, I am proud to say that he posted on this thread.
