Gemmill 47497 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Why did you not say something when he started calling you Mr. Thorn? Did you think it was a term of endearment? Or a secret codename? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 well, each time the lass said it I was thinking, "whats she calling me?" but I thought Id wait and see how the conversation went before picking the most humorous moment to reveal her error, then the convo kinda went awry..

gram 0 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Lloyds have apparently sent me two credit cards to my old address and wiped out my old one without telling me. I've got a pair of Airmiles Duo Cards hanging around somewhere. I didnt know anything about them until I looked at my Internet banking to sort something else out. Had to cancel them. They sent one to my old address. When I told them I had moved they sent another to the same address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
