The place I'm moving to, in the news

[housepiglet]

I read a great story in the paper today about a hardware shop in the little Yorkshire market town I hope to move to this year. The bloke wanted a day off, and so did the staff, and so he left the shop open, put out an honesty box and asked would-be shoppers to pay for anything they took. When he got back later in the evening nothing had been stolen

Well hello there, Piggiediggiedoo, and a belated Happy New Year to you!!!

Settle in Settle? The place'll be full of thieves now, will you be able to Settle for that in Settle????

Sorry, you're going to have to Settle for all the jokes now, so...yep, you guessed, Settle down now, Settle down!!

Did your goose Settle down and lay the golden dinner? Did your guests Settle down and enjoy it? Did it take you long to Settle who'd do the washing up?

Okay, I'm fed up now so I'll Settle for less Settle mentions!!

Speak soon!

Heh... I Settled the guests down on the Settletee and fed them so much pre-lunch alcohol that their powers of discernment were entirely unSettled, and they were unable to detect the flaws in the scoff. I've now Settled on this as the best method for future occasions.

Ha...I bet you gave them those toxic pig nuts with which you tried to murder/kill/assassinate me......

[housepiglet]

Caught in the act!

*squints guiltily along snout, and trots away on tippee-crubeen*

Oh, that's so wonderful! Every once in a while something happens to restore my faith in the human race, and this is just something like that!

[housepiglet]

Isn't it great?! *g*

[mer_duff]

That's a wonderful story. It really does restore one's faith in humanity, at least a little. It sounds like a lovely place ot live!

[housepiglet]

It does, doesn't it? I can hardly wait to get there :)

[genagirl]

That's good to hear. It sounds like a place you will fit right into! ('Cause you're so nice).

[housepiglet]

Awwww... *g* I'm certainly looking forward to it!

That sounds lovely! Plus, now you know where to go when you need nails and things to hang up your pictures, and perhaps some washers for that leaky faucet the previous resident said they'd fix, and maybe an extension cord, since outlets are never where you want them....

Eep... *thinks back to when I moved in here* IKWYM... :)
