Mel (& Paul) Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Yes, I am STILL waiting to hear if I have the managers job in Bristol. So I thought to pass the time I might use some of the following replies in my e-mail...........might get a reaction 1. I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Be prepared for my mood. 2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all. 3. I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from holiday on 4 April. Please be patient and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received. 4. Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged +AKM-5.99 for the first ten words and +AKM-1.99 for each additional word in your message. 5. The e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again.'(The beauty of this is that when you return, you can see how many in-duh-viduals did this over and over). 6. Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system.. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks. 7. I've run away to join a different circus. AND, FINALLY, THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE: 8. I will be out of the office for the next 2 weeks for medical reasons.. When I return, please refer to me as ' Margaret ' instead of 'Steve' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard T Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 For more great lines from Peter Sarstedt, and perhaps the lyrics to the number one on your birthday (unless of course it was an instrumental), have a look at this website, which allegedly has the lyrics of every song that's been at the very tip-top of the Hit Parade since the Hit Parade began during 1952: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gary.hart/index.html Rockin' Richie T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Peter Sarstedt - I just went to iTunes and downloaded it. You talk like Marlene Dietrich And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire Your clothes are all made by Balmain And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are....

AnnieP Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 All of course, true. He must have had a premonition about me. Shame he couldn't hold a note to save his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
