Default Minor gloat

Sent a bed off to a lady in Boca Grande, FL. a few months ago . .. . and
it duly arrived 3 months later ,after being on a nice boat ride, then a nice
train ride from Caliphornya . . .

The Lady was delighted and told me so in a very nice email all about how
pleased she was with it - we now communicate regularly with funnies and
general chit chat.
All really nice and good feeling stuff.

Anyway - late last night (Sunday), after getting home from the boozer and
managing to dodge all the Roo's along the way - I was lying flat out on my
face,under the bed -and no I wasn't arse up from th'grog, - I was trying to
coax my little 8 month old Border Collie/lab/retriever mongrel out from
under the bed and explaining to her just who's bedroom it was and just what
the sleeping arraignments were . .. .. . when the phone rings . .. .
"Phil speaking" I answered rather abruptly, "is that Phil?" a tentative male
voice inquired " Yes. Phil speaking" I replied rather abruptly again (
having gotten into the swing of the conversation early)

Anyway this bloke, with a rather pleasant American accent, turns out to be
the aforementioned Lady's brother - who has eyeballed her new bed and
decided that after years of searching for the perfect bed - my design is the
one he wants - and proceeds to give me the details for payment of deposit on
a bed and chest of drawers to bunged on a boat at some later stage and
tripped orf to Florida . . . . .. .

Isn't that nice ?- i love emerica!
