When the chips are down!

Look what I found! These piccies are from Floyd's 40th (which was in November 2006!). We hired out a big room and a bar at a local hotel in Blackheath and had live music, a drinks luge (I had the Rolling Stones mouth and tongue done! Your poured in your schnapps or vodka in the back and it trickled down the tongue in to your cup! or mouth...or ear...for some people at the end of the night...who's names shall remain anonymous!).

We had bangers and mash, mulled wine, huge fireworks display and live music! We also had a fun casino brought in and I made some special money just for the night! The casino was meant to be entertainment for those not wanting to listen to live music but unfortunately everyone went mad over gambling and the band were left playing to an almost empty room! Which is shame as the band are our very, very good friends Live N Kickin! who are Kent's number one covers band! If you ever get the chance to see them, grab it by the horns!!!

These are the bank notes I 'Photoshopped'! Bank of Wully and Bank of Flatch! Both Floyd's nicknames from The Almighty. Wully = short for Walter - he can explain where that came from! and Flatch = short for Flatuence... my, those touring days on the bus must have been such fun with Floyd! I suffer now so God knows what the poor band and crew went through!

People were getting deadly serious about the casino and winning!!! My mother had the biggest pile of chips the whole night!! People were siddling up to her asking her what her secret was! But the overall winner of the casino was my dad!!! Well done the oldies!!! ;-)

The casino, remains of the drinks luge & Mum and dad on a winning streak!

So last Tuesday, some thieving little ******** broke in to our car at night and ripped out our groovy car radio, stole the satnav (which Floyd had forgotten he left in the glove box, typical as he usually always brings it in), took the cigarrette lighter (!??? WHY?) plus a whole array of other things including Floyd's designer sunglasses, digital tyre pump etc. ********'s.

Floyd took it very, very badly and it looks like neither the house insurance or the car insurance are worth claiming on because it costs £150 just to make a claim with either and even then, we don't have receipts. Grrrr. Horrible business thieving!!!! But I rest safe in the knowledge that what goes around comes around - these people will get theirs! mwhahahaha!!

Floyd is now considering buying himself a Harley Davidson to cheer himself up!! Hmmm....

I can remember when I was younger Ma used to win when the Riggall's took her to the casino in Douglas, IoM. She does have a lucky streak!

If Floyd buys a HD you could get here in about 4 hours from Calais - seriously!

That little thieving ************ I can't believe you can't claim and what happened to the secure car parking at the flat?

Oh F*** it!!!!!!!!!!!

It is truly outrageous! Our car insurance say that unless we have the receipt, they'll only give us market value for the car radio - which was £150 about 5 years ago. But it costs £150 to actually make a claim with them.

And for the Ray Ban's, the £300 satnav, the digital tyre pressure equipment etc etc, that has to come under our household contents insurance....who say that they don't cover car accessories stolen from cars.

If they were stolen from a house or somewhere else - but god forbit they get stolen from an actual CAR!

So.....nada. It's about £600 worth in total.

Dad bought the satnav for Floyd when he was in hospital as a special treat to really cheer him up! It cost a fortune :-(

Mum is a dark horse isn't she!!!! ;-)
