Should just share your stories? Today? Any stories 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 2: about a wrong gore? What was the other side of it? 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 2: On thirteen fifty five twenty two. Also this morning we 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: looking for stories about having made a very large order 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: of just one thing. I remember when one of my 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: daughters was turning ten. She had a classmates. We'd hid 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: this village hall for a birthday party, and there's so 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: much pressure. You want them to have a great time. 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 2: You want all their friends have a good time because 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: they all sort of gossip about each other's parties. So anyway, 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: I thought, I need a load of helium balloons. So 15 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: I went into this some party shop run by the 16 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: most miserable human being. It was almost ironic that the 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: most miserable man I've ever encoded in my life was 18 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: running this party shop. I get it, I guess, with 19 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: all that fun coming in through the door, it just 20 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: did something to him. Anyway, So I need twenty five 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: helium balloons and he goes, okay, right, well I can 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: pump them up in all this and he said he 23 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: part nearby, and there was nowhere nearby. Part It was 24 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: like a five to ten minute warm He said come 25 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 2: back tomorrow morning. That's when the party was at eight am. 26 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: And he actually said word for word, keep knocking because 27 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: he lived above the place, and I get the feeling 28 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 2: he was going to he's someone who has he needs 29 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: to be woken up at eight am. He enjoys a drink. 30 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: There was just, you know, there's just a vibe about 31 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: some people that and I was like, just just keep 32 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: knocking the guy who runs the party shop, Okay. Anyway, 33 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: next morning I go there, I keep knocking it. I'm 34 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,279 Speaker 2: there five minutes kicking this door as well. I'm thinking 35 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: I had one job to get these. I need these 36 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: twenty five balloons. Anyway, all mates literally looks like he 37 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: hasn't slept in about five days. He starts pumping up 38 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: these helium balloons. And then I don't know if you've 39 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: ever tried to corral helium balloons. Not easy. They just 40 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: want to go up right, they don't want to be 41 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: herded and crowd. Now it's suddenly caught up bast stay 42 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: on a Sunday morning, I've got twenty five. I'm alone, 43 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: I've got a five minute walk. I can barely see 44 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: at times because they're floating in front of my face, 45 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: just twenty five of them. Then it was like a 46 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: uc Tito fight, trying to wrestle them into the car. 47 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: As they're floating in the car, coming back out towards me. 48 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: I'm trying to not pop them, obviously, because I need 49 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: twenty five. The car fills with them. I'm actually shut 50 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: the door. They're in the driver's seat, the passenger seat, 51 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: the back seats, they're everywhere. I'm I'm actually open the 52 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: driver's door. Push them away from me. Get in. I 53 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 2: can't see out of it. There's no way of seeing 54 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: the rear view mirror. Absolute nightmare. So have you got 55 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: any stories about a single order of one thing? Sorry, 56 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 2: very big, large order of one thing.

Welcome to the show. 59 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: And so you've got a story about setting a track? 60 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: I did. I set a trap for my eighteen year 61 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: old son. My husband and I were heading away in 62 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: the state for a weekend and I just had a 63 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 3: sneaky suspicion moving an eighteen year old boy at home 64 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 3: could perhaps get up to a bit of mischief. So 65 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: I did all my gin bottles into. 66 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: Probably last very sophisticate eighteen year old gin. I love botanical. 67 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: It was free, so of course, so I hid all 68 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: the gin in a drink bottle, filled it up with water, 69 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: came home at the end of the weekend, said feel 70 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: like a gin and tonic? Do you want one? To 71 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: my son? And he goes and he just looked at 72 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: me blankly, and he's like maybe. And so I made 73 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: us a gin and tonic with gin, and he said, 74 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: this test really. 75 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: Different, a lot stronger than what I was drinking on 76 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: the weekend longer. 77 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: And so now five years later, when I still make 78 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 3: a gin and tonic, I just look at him sometimes 79 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: and he just smirks. 80 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: Thee a Paceibo drinks what they were all having as well, 81 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: Like God, this stuff is so strong.

So 88 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: I just finished night shift and I drove straight away 89 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: all the way down to kill Thiland, about a two 90 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: and a half hour drive, and part my car got 91 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: out of it, and I was visiting my friends for 92 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: a long weekend. Knock on the door, no answer, So 93 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: I'll just try it. Walked in, looked around, looked to 94 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: the right. I haven't made their bed. That's unusual. Never mind, 95 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: go in. Look for the spare room. Thought that's different. 96 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: There's normally bunks in here. Actually it was an office. 97 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: None of these. 98 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: So I had my tiller, I had my overnight bag, 99 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: I had everything all under my arm. So I thought, well, 100 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: I'll just planked them in this room. Anyway, it looks 101 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: this one looks made. Did that? Went back into the lounge. 102 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: They had a blue lounge, right, that's great. Turned around, 103 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: thought kitchen's messy. That's unusual. Turned to the left, thought, 104 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Oh no, no, no, there's a cabinet 105 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: here with those dinky dye metal racing cars. No, oh 106 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: my god. I'm now mortified. I ran back to the room, 107 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: grabbed my stuff and bolted very quickly out the door. 108 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: Next door, I'd gone into number twenty seven. My friends 109 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: lived in twenty five. 110 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 2: Just a small difference, but a very big difference. 111 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: My my eye stopped. I literally sprose in that kitchen, 112 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: and thank goodness that man wasn't home. I did tell him, 113 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: I did tell him when I met him. 114 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, man him later in the day, and yeah, yeah, 115 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: make the bed and the kitchen as well.

The only 134 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 4: problem with this was that it turned out it wasn't 135 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 4: a student, it was one of the other teachers. 136 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: On a sneaky smokeo.
