I think we both go to whatever's closest for physical visits. Happens to be on the walking way home from squash as well so there's convenience to add to this equation. For delivery, my normal way of getting stuff (you click on some shit on a website and then a day later some guy drops it right at your apartment door - all for the very reasonable fee of four squid), I use Ocado. Now he will call me a Tory posh git for choosing them. He would if he was posting any more. Seems to have legged it for calmer waters. Now he can call you a Tory posh git for using Ocado. 🙂 My daughter is Secretary of the local branch of the Socialist Workers party.
When she pisses us off (which is most of the time), we send her a hamper from Fortnum and Mason. Once we had the delivery made to the University where she lectures. She says that it is very embarrassing having the Fotnum and Mason van turn up outside her door or having flunkies making deliveries to the uni staff room and I didn't say, well, that was the point.
I love her dearly, but it is important to wind her up once in a while for the good of her soul ![[cheers]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/aglhVEHQrHaJeFlTZSWP.gif) |

I love her dearly, but it is important to wind her up once in a while for the good of her soul 😂 I love this so much. I'm so happy right now... dying laughing. 🤣 This is how it works, huh? My parents are former hippies, literally went to Woodstock, much later voted for Carter, didn't learn from that and in reaction I, so early on, was only interested in facts and pragmatism. You're more the latter (if I may say so) and your daughter is Secretary of the local branch of the Socialist Workers party. It's too perfect. The ultra-posh hampers and by delivery to the uni staff room, so great, I love. I don't know how many options you have there, politically. For example, we certainly don't commonly have local chapters of the Socialist Workers party here; it's Dem or Repub. When I was still a teenager and first legal to vote, I voted for Bill Clinton, and am still happy with that. So while I differ from my folks greatly, our voting has intersected for a desperate lack of options, at times. But it was truly shocking how my dad seemed on the verge of a brain bleed with Trump Derangement Syndrome. While I didn't vote for Trump, I could not comprehend the point of turning oneself inside out with rage over him. Out of aneurysm avoidance, I didn't wind him up, but I did say "That doesn't make sense," or "You're making yourself sick." I could write 'til the sun comes up and I'll never properly reciprocate because yours is the best boards story, possibly ever. |

Yes, and when the poshest shop is physically closest to your residence, then you reside in the poshest residential area. Did I mention reside? Own it, babe. Apparently, I call each you and pilar "babe" today. 🤔 Anyhow, live it, love it, brag on it, although I seem to be doing a bang-up job doing the bragging for you. And all that Not south of the river riff raff like you from you to yggdrasil, you can't have amnesia for that entire chapter of your posting life. Look at you, being coy. It's not the first time, probably not the hundred and first time. Back in the day, he "quit" every other month. He loves you. He'll be back. I hope it's only just a "quit"; that means he's well and safe and all is right in the world which I'm sure it is. 🍻 The poshest shop is actually Waitrose. But you have to go to the burbs to get that and fuck that shit. Sainsbury is second in general but first in central. what, you ain't got Marks and Sparks? |

Well, quite a bit of Ocado's delivery stuff is M&S but there are no stores around here. None that I've seen, at least. |

After all, was he not the man who persuaded Monica Lewinsky that a blowjob wasn't adultery? Not very honourable, but it did add to the gaiety of the nation.
That is the trouble with modern politics. All the funsters are being pushed out and only the dreary buggers remain.
