Most Humans. We see the lowest common denominator of human, the ski tourist, here in the Alps and Hell's teeth, what's their purpose? Humans that is?
Driving, walking, walking with skis, ordering food, asking directions, managing snow and ice, parking etc etc. All logic and ability as members of the human race escapes them. I can only assume the vast majority of human beings are actually the same and put on a good front most of the year. Defender drivers are excluded from this assumption, as are motorcyclists. But general 'people'? Jesus Wept Monsieur Le Grenadier

Breaking and enetring into your own house around midnight after going out for a meal and drinks with the wife, son and daughter because said wife forgot her house keys ...it's been a given for the past 25 years that she always takes her house keys! I couldn't even use the emergency key hidden away as she had bolted that particular door on the inside.

Nope, not here. Obviously being the Alps we're not averse to some cured Pig, but normally in the form of sausage and accompanied by huge quantities of melted cheese.  Monsieur Le Grenadier

Did you wear all-black, a balaclava and use a harness and carabiner like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible?  Monsieur Le Grenadier

Unfortunately that is not my usual dining out attire, nor did I have a box of Milk Tray in a suitcase either

You went out for dinner and you didn't wear black? Hell's teeth. Either you're standards are slipping or you live in a tropical clime and were wearing a tropical dinner jacket (which I believe our American cousins call a 'Tux')? But if the former, that's very disappointing. Next you'll be telling me you no longer wear a lounge suit when sitting down for supper? Monsieur Le Grenadier

^^^ I confess to lowering the usual standards on this occasion but the meal was to mark my son's 18th birthday so had to get with it ...just this once mind! Steve.

Having moved in very late December and set up my account online with Npower for my electricity I am yet to be billed for it.
Suspecting something was wrong I get in contact to ask whats up... Sorry sir there was a problem with your account- as such you have no account number, so no account, so you don't exist. Please get in touch with our dedicated team to sort out the issue. How did they get an online automated form wrong! I didn't really want to be with them in the first place but our Landlady wont let us change for some reason. So when i get home at 7:15 I have 45mins to try and sort it out over the phone instead of a nice relaxing evening - joy!

What's a bit worrying is they have a dedicated department for people with no accounts who don't exist. How many are out there? I'd call in Mulder and Scully, now they're back on the job.... Monsieur Le Grenadier
