Extreme Blogging!

That's what I'm into now.

Go to someone else's blog, copy their last entry, paste it into your own blog, instant interesting life!!

It's brilliant.

One little rant though. I need A4 paper. I really do. So I (when I say I, I mean I Shirley) ring up some office supply places to get some.

"A4? What's that?"
"A4? Is that the same as Legal?"
"A4? What do you want that for?"
"A4? Isn't that from Europe in France?"
etc, etc.

Basically, you can't get it. Full stop.

My plan is to buy Legal (which is bigger) and cut it down to size. So I get her to ring the biggest places to ask "Do you have a guillotine service?"

"I've no idea what a guillotine is" is the first reply.

The second was more interesting though. The guy didn't know what a guillotine was. So shirley explained about wanting A4 and that Legal was a little larger, so we'd just reduce Legal down to size through the use of a guillotine.

The man became confused at this point, thinking we wanted to put Legal into a photocopier and have it somehow 'shrink' down to A4 size. He wasn't sure the photocopier could do that but he'd check. And, putting the laws of physics to one side, apparently they can do this. That's a f**king good photocopier.

But he suggests it will probably be cheaper to just buy a pack of legal and use their cutting machine to trim it. No shit sherlock!

I'll have to lie down now.

We've got boxes of the stuff here, literally.

I often take reams of it home to let the kids scrible in one corner and then throw it away.

I could scan a page in, and then email it to you, and you could then print it off. Job Done.
