I just called work, told them I wasn't in today.

My reason:

My car wouldn't start from work yesterday, so I called the AA out - they helped me to get it home, but I need a new alternator.

So this morning I was planning on coming in using my wife's Landrover. Now this is a classic, like 40 years old. As I'm drivig, I find the brakes are intermittently failing. The only way I can stop is to use the handbrake, or pump the brake pedal. So I turn around, go home, and find it's leaking brake fluid.

So I'm stuck at home, and can't get to work.

Really though, I think it sounds completely unfeasible, but it's the absolute truth. I wonder if my manager will believe it? Actually, I doubt he cares, he's not spoken to me in weeks!

Ha Ha Ha.

Classic Landrover.

Anyone would think you tended sheep in your nice Welsh way.

Seriously though, women are devious. If your wife was going to knock you off you'd really give her more credit than failing breaks on a car. I'm assuming you do sleep beside this woman, plenty of opportunity to do something undetectabe there, gas leak for instance, good old carbon monoxide would look like a good accident :-).

If it was my Boss, he'd tell me to get my ass in a taxi.

I'm more worried about the corner/ditch combo - I'm used to power steering... ;o)

Well my wife did suspiciously go out last night...

Really though, she did say that it felt a bit funny, but onyl once, and thought her foot slipped, or something.

Yeah, right...

If I stop posting any time soon you'll know why.

Hmmm, this almond tea is lovely!

Get details and bill receipts etc - they can't really fault those.

Personally I'd be more worried that someone is obviously trying to kill you.
