    So you got the job then ?
    
    No whippet training jobs going then ?
    No clog carvers required ?
    No black pudding rollers needed ?
    
    Personally I think it's all wrong. I mean, you're depriving a
    southerner of a job.

795.2But do you come with references from your current landlord?KERNEL::COFFEYJThe Uk CSC Unix Girlie.Fri Sep 09 1994 16:173
If the move goes ahead I'll have a self contained lower ground floor 
room that might be available for a reasonable rent.

I live in Kingsclere, but there's no room for you - not
even in the shed.

Where were you Wednesday night then?

    So, you fat tub of lard, you're as popular down there as you were up
    here. Anyway, it looks like COMICS::FISCHER has fallen foul of the Paul
    Watterson "Yes, I'll be round your house for a pint during the week"
    syndrome. 
    
    I'd just like to say "It's nice to have you back"...

795.7Watty == Northener, not reallyMUGGER::WHITTLETue Sep 13 1994 14:117
    
    Yeah, an I don't like Dave LLoyd's insunuation that Watty's a Northener,
    he's no more a northener than Azil Nadir. Mind you this is no slur on
    Azil, just a goegraphic faux pas on his part. Since when did they have
    whippets and clogs in Cyprus?

    Jo, 
    
    was that note inspired by last night's conversation about 
    'Beastiality and the modern woman' ? (COSMO JUNE 1983) 
    
    And as for you Whittlei - get stop messing round in notes and do some
    work before you get made redundant again you sad waster.

795.9COMICS::FISCHERLife&#039;s a big banana sandwichTue Sep 13 1994 17:005
Actually Watty, nothing would give me greater pleasure 
than meeting you for a beer or two. As long as you're 
doing the driving.

So, are you coming to Brighton Hill on Wednesday - 7pm?

I thought we straighted that out and decided I was after the lesbian articles?

Maybe that's just the effect sitting in a room with you and the Cunnybunny has... 


795.11Watty == FattyMUGGER::WHITTLEWed Sep 14 1994 14:457
    
    Ah Mr. Watty, as usual you are as mis-informed as ever, I was never
    actually made redundant - I narrowly missed it by moving quickly -
    Something someone of you immense fatness could never do, eh!!!

Paul, um, would you like to tell the gathered audience what you were up to 
in the bathroom last night... a little birdie muttered something in my 
ear about it.... 


795.13No ! I wasn't doing THAT !VESSA::WATTERSONThu Sep 15 1994 14:0113
    
    Trust you to bring that up..... 
    
    
    It was all very innocent - my nightly two hour telephone conversation
    with the wife just happened to be relocated briefly into the downstairs
    water-closet when I was overcome with the urge to pee. 
    
    
    I did manage to 'spray' the seat and the toilet roll - but you won't
    mention it to my landlord will you ?
    
    Paul
795.14".....telephone conversation with the wife". Not what I heard !!!!!LOOKIN::LUCKMANThu Sep 15 1994 15:095
	From what I heard from a different little blonde birdie was that you
	were on the phone to a certain Miss Woodcock last night. She does not
	want to talk to you again now she knows what you get up to while on
	the phone.

    Oh bl**dy 'ell....
    
    Is there no part of my sad pathetic existance that doesn't get reported
    in this notesfile ?
    
    Is it physically possible to make more than one phone call in an
    evening !!
    
    Just incase anyone's interested, I also went shopping in Sainsbury's,
    had chinese food for tea, a couple of cans of draught guiness, watched
    a bit of the football then went to bed.
    
    Paul
    
    PS - I probably had a c**p at some point last night, but can't
    remember.

    Having escaped from Basingstoke and been forcibly removed from
    Warrington, I now end up in Newbury with the likes of 
    
    Mr Kevin (This shirt was fashionable in 1977) Raven....
    
    What have I done to deserve this ?

Were you sorting your "hairstyle" out in the bathroom
too?

We missed you last night, twinkletoes
795.19VESSA::WATTERSONThu Sep 15 1994 18:249
    
    What 'hairstyle' ? - I'm back to my normal 'Paul Merton look-alike'
    haircut again.
              
    I missed you as well flower - but don't tell anyone -I'd hate to hear
    of any rumours about me flying round Digital...

Well all I can say is that it's not a PERM ....

In fact its not a haircut .....It's not often I'm lost for words ...

If thats what crossing the North-South divide does ...I'm staying south of 
Watford....or even Welwyn....
I used to live in North London ( Tottenham - The Jewel In Londons Crown)
until I came to Benny land ( Newbury )... But I suppose that dont count as up
North...
Did anyone make the Newbury/Berkshire county show....Did the chap with one
eyebrow and a large hat , guess the weight of the Pig ?

795.22Nothing wrong with my haircutVESSA::WATTERSONMon Sep 19 1994 17:109
    
    Please excuse the last note - poor Kevin has had a bad day - he's 
    miss-placed his favourite mauve tank-top and matching loon pants.
    Thankfully he managed to find a cracking 'Stuart Hall' shirt - white
    collar with grey body - at the local Oxfam shop at lunchtime.

I think we're confusing things a little. I was referring
to Mr Watty's lack of hairstyle. I never said he didn't have
a haitcut. Indeed, if he didn't have a haircut, then his hair
would be very long by now. What I was referring to was the
distinct lack of style that Watty's hair exhibits - however
he has it cut!
795.24VESSA::WATTERSONMon Sep 19 1994 17:507
    
    Mr Fischer,
    
    Mr Raven was refering to my latest hairstyle - it's a bit on the short
    side...

    Seriously Paul, it's really nice to have you back. I know a lot of
    people don't like you, and that you aren't the most amenable of people
    to get along with, but call me old fashioned I know, I think you're a
    swell guy. You always had time to help me when I was a VMS neophyte,
    and helped guide my early career in Digital even though I didn't wear a
    skirt in those days. What's more you gave me all those nice people like
    Ms Woodcock's telephone numbers for more advice on matters in which you
    couldn't help me. What a guy! Now come on everyone let Paul settle down
    and get back into the pace of life he's used to....
