Mike Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've had meetings back to back at work and managed to run out for a sandwich at 2... so I notice an answerphone message on my phone, play it back and it's my neighbour from downstairs (I live in a top floor flat, there are three flats in the building) and she's telling me she thinks she can smell gas, and that it's really strong smelling and maybe I should come home. I'm thinking this is a bit odd, being as in the five years I've lived here she's never called me about anything.. and I'm racking my brains to think what could be smelling of gas.. so I mention that I do have my slow cooker on and that I'm actually cooking some veggie curry (massala this time, spicing things up a bit). So she says, 'wait a minute I'll go out and have another smell'. I'm still a bit panicked and am scanning my desk for my cars keys picturing the frantic drive home I'll have and the possible repercussions of losing everything I own in a fireball. She comes back on the phone and says, yes, it might be curry... does it have cabbage in it? (sorry if you thought this was a joke, it actually happened to me and her saying that made me smile all day ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 sounds like she just wants to get you home so she can have her wicked way with you. Might need to break old faithful meg out of her foil packet you lucky boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Doubtful Ed, she's in her fifties! (no offensive, like) The curry was legendary btw and there was no cabbage in it! When she sussed out it was curry, she was asking 'what's in it?' I'm walking out for lunch with new 'colleague' with me saying to her 'look, I can't discuss my curry recipe now, you just gave me a heart attack!'... I still had expected to come home from the gym and find neighbor and Transco stood around my slow cooker critiquing my tea!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
