And no-one – not me, not the landlady – can contact the plumber.

Wow, when it rains. . .


Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's pouring down.


Give over and get the curry in.

My suspicion is brutto is a spammer, but since there was no link in the post, I approved it. If I'm wrong I'm sure he or she will explain themselves/elaborate shortly...

Don't start something you can't finish with pranks and practical jokes.

Derek thought it was hilarious.

Minnie was responding to your starting your story with a superfluous "So" - a pet peeve of hers (and mine).

I know this thread doesn't get much action these days, but your your criticism of snow seems to have put it out of its misery.

My company offered me a campaign in Seattle. It'd be a $1.5 million dollar campaign with my pay increasing by about 50%.

How do you feel about rain? :D

You must do what's in your heart, but I would find it VERY tempting in your position. The quality of life in Seattle (at least if you can deal with the weather) seems pretty high.

Eelpie is up there, though I don't know if there are any other BCBers. But you're much closer to Sloop and Six String, and us wonderful Southern Californians (don't know if that's an incentive for you or not :D).

You nailed it! There are so many factors to consider. I'm still kind of in shock at the prospect.

My brother and his family live in Seattle. It's beautiful. Does rain a fair bit, though.

Considering your previous struggles I'd say take the money and run.
I'd say Seattle could use the extra flair you and the Contessa take to the place...

Snow fell last night in Texas. It started around 7 and this morning it is still there - our branches are bowing and heavy with it and stunned Texans, us included, are gawping in wonder. Baron got the day off work but I'm going in, I expect him to be full of whiskey and in front of French silent films shortly.
