From
Facebook archives - I particularly like how this thread wanders off into the literary ...
According to the slightly camp bald till assistant in Tesco Extra I have
'the patience of Jude'.
This was after I'd picked up the third thing Ferretfingers
dropped on the floor whilst paying for The Radio Times and TV Times, including
a tenner and the receipt.
He wouldn't have said that if he'd heard me screaming at them on Sunday morning
because they couldn't find his hat so I had to break off from cleaning my teeth
to get it!
The Squireen Maybe you need to scream at them more often

I value my larynx
too much
Drummerman The larynx is
indeed a rare and valuable species of wild cat
Gobiron Wow - your shop
assistant knows how to deliver 'em.
It
was Job who was patient. Jude is the
patron saint of lost causes... just sayin'
Bentonbag - Drummerman
Not unlike myself
;)
Drummerman I do like these old
jokes - the Hardy annuals
Dulcima I hate Thomas
Hardy. He was so bloody miserable. I did Tess of the D'Urbevilles for OU - Hardy
said she was one of his favourite characters, and he had her hanged. She never got an even break throughout the
whole novel. I dread to think what he
would do to someone he didn't like.

I feel much the
same about DH Lawrence. We did Sons
& Lovers for A level and what a miserable self-centred snobby self-abuser
the main character is.
And don't be
fooled by the furore around Lady Chatterley's Lover; she was a silly little bat
who needed to get her act together; and there's pages and pages where he goes
on and on about phalluses and how fantastic they are - tedious drivel.
Dulcima Totally agree about
DH Lawrence. The same course had a short story by him, which I read &
hated. That put me off reading anything
else by him. He gave the impression of
being a misogynist git.
