To shake up his Irn Bru?

Typing on phone and in rush so apols for typos. My neighbour loves practical jokes and is a bit of a knob! An hour or so ago I was walking with DD in the buggy and a white van swerved into the gutter next to us, covering us with the contents of a huge puddle Shock. It then drove off, beeping its horn.

Shortly after I received a text from his current girlfriend, who was mortified. They work together and he had told her what he had done last time he was at base. She may not be is girlfriend much longer..

Anyway, se offered to let me use their office kitchen to get dried off and make myself a cuppa. I am there now.

There is a can of Irn Bru in the fridge with his name on and a mars bar. I assume its for his tea break.

His girlfriend is at the front desk serving customers..

Or should I maintain the moral high ground?

Who are these people OP? They sound beyond tedious.

Neighbours. She's lovely but won't hang around. He's a waste of air in my opinion..

I'm sorry, I didn't understand a word of that, bar "paul" and "colin"

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 29/07/2013 16:09

Haha!

Well done OP.

mawbroon · 29/07/2013 16:11

Payback 4u?? Is she on to you? Or is she just thinking it's karma?

Munxx · 29/07/2013 16:13

Aye can o ginger but! Doesn't everyone know what that means !

mawbroon · 29/07/2013 16:20

Nope, just the Weedgies

MaxPepsi · 29/07/2013 16:21

Well done OP

Translation, the way I read it anyway,
God must be on your side, ha ha. Paul just sprayed his irn bru all over Colin. Colin is not happy. Paul says it's not his fault but he's played to many jokes today. Serves him right for drenching you.

DidoTheDodo · 29/07/2013 16:25

Thank MaxPepsi.
OP, is your neighbour 13 or do adults actually write this way? (Genuine amazement as nobody I know does. Or at least not to me - maybe that is the pertinent bit!)

MaxPepsi · 29/07/2013 16:49

Unfortunately Dido some adults do write (and speak) this way.

I have some family members and a few workmates who do. I had to get help translating them the first few times but sadly now find it quite easy.

I don't mind abbreviations, when it's more than a few letters, it's when people use the same amount of letters or just knock off one that I just don't get it

eg

tmrw for tomorrow - ok
b4 for before ok
b for be - just put the extra letter
ma for me - this makes me seethe actually!

DidoTheDodo · 29/07/2013 17:00

So "wan" is "one"??
Heavens to betsy...!

mawbroon · 29/07/2013 17:02

"Wan" is what Glasgwegians say instead of "one".

It's not text speak

DidoTheDodo · 29/07/2013 17:20

I'm married to a Glaswegian and he says "one".
I think I am Shock at the spelling.
Ah well...!

ScooseIsLoose · 29/07/2013 17:32

I would have stamped all over the mars bar too

sonlypuppyfat · 29/07/2013 18:41

I used to work in a newsagent kiosk kind of place and I used to have a few well shaken cans of pop for super nasty customers!

saintmerryweather · 29/07/2013 18:45
