Join the LoRDs: It's the better Answer! Update for my Week Well I got another editorship, not one I would like to really talk about (It's a horrible show). So please don't congratulate me. Oh and don't forget to check out the new emblem I made for 'TV Super Sleuth', awarded to those who have solved 35 or more of my riddles. Sigh...I think I'm in a foul mood.
What a Bad Week Had a bad day? Perhaps you'll like to hear about the bad week I had. The television broke down a few days ago. Attempts to repair it ended in failure...so a new one was bought. With the World Cup just a few months away, I had no choice but to get a BIG tv set. And to cut things short, I ended up carrying an incredibly heavy television set up several flights of stairs (I'm not paying for delivery!). As I huffed and puffed, I was thinking that perhaps the 'Samsung' flat screen television set wasn't that expensive afterall. When I finally got the television up and running, I was all tired and my arms were aching, it was like basic military training all over again. I thought that was my worse day for the week, I was wrong. A few days later, the handle for the kitchen tap broke off. My attempt to change the tap also ended in failure as I realised I did not have that one proper tool needed to remove the tap. I was left with no choice but to call a plumber. Now plumbers have a very long history of overcharging for their work (in my case anyway), I was very well aware of that, and I was ready to 'negotiate' with them man-to-man. So when the plumber came a few minutes later, I was delighted to find that he was a short be-spectacled little man. He had eyes that said "Please don't hurt me". My face turned completely white however when I saw who he had brought with him, his wife! Now from my own experience, there are women who are masters of wet-market haggling, these women take great delight in making me pay full price for market goods that I do not want. But the woman I was looking at looked like she was a 4-star general for the 'Department of Threats and Haggling'. She was the bane of all butchers, fish-mongers and grocerers. "You want simple stainless steel tap? No no...you need gold-plated diamond encrusted tap." She says. And just as I suspected, the bill was incredibly marked-up. But against her, I was nothing more than a toothless puppy. I caved. As I watched them leave, I was so ashamed of myself. I could only imagined that they were gonna stop by at the nearby restauant for some champange and lobster to celebrate their victory.
