Missing: Reward Offered

I think I'm going to get a bit of flack for this post, but I don't care.

The following items have mysteriously disappeared from my house. I want them back. If you borrowed them without my permission or if I drunkenly gave you permission to borrow them and subsequently don't remember you borrowing them, then please return them. Soon. I miss them.



Item One: The Office Christmas Specials



This was a Christmas gift last year from my now ex-flatmate. I've only watched it the once, because almost as soon as it was bestowed upon me it was borrowed for a lengthy period of time by some other friends. They returned it in July, so sometime between now and then, it has gone missing again.

Its a top show and I can understand you wanting to hang on to it, but its not yours so give it back!!



Item Two: Chris Isaak's Self Titled Album

Ahhhh Chris. Soulful crooner. Good dinner party musak. Been missing for quite a while now so I don't know who would have this one. But as I said before:

Its a top album and I can understand you wanting to hang on to it, but its not yours so give it back!!



Item Three: Britney Spears Greatest Hits: My Perogative

The theft of this one mystifies me. The only person I know (besides my strange self) who admits to liking Britney Spears is Bestie Lulu. And she has her own copy of this, so I know she hasn't got it.

Maybe you're embarrassed to admit that you borrowed it. Don't be - its a fun party album. But I'm going to get repetitive here...

Its a top album and I can understand you wanting to hang on to it, but its not yours so give it back!!

Anyone with information leading to the return of my beloved items will be duly rewarded.

Anyone who wants to give me schtick about my taste in music get to the back of the queue.

Hmmm, good question. I think its shiny. Minus the 'e'.

And you're right, she is shiny. Abnormally so.

'Shiny' is correct.

Magical_M, you have inspired me with this post. It's something I've been considering doing for a while, because some of my beloved items are missing as well, but I haven't done it - for the following reasons:

a) I felt, like you clearly did, that I would cop some 'flack' for being un-blog-worthy (but you've shown me if CAN be done!);

2) None of my friends read my blog, making it difficult-at-best to imagine anything being returned to me as a result of posting the list of items that are missing from my home;

d) The list of items that are missing from my home sometimes includes embarrassing items (but then again, you had Britney on your list - and everyone already knows I love silly things like The Muppets and Buffy, etc ... so what else is there to lose?);

5) I am crap at numbering lists.

But gosh-darn-it-all-to-hell-and-back! I'm going to do it too. It'll be a while coming, but I'm going to do it. Thanks for (unknowingly) spurring me on! :)



PS - No, sorry - I don't have any of your missing items.

Britney looks like she's been dunked in a vat of Southern pig fat.
Oh, and I've done the meme. Eventually.

Bevis - I say do it! I have quite a few friends out there who read my blog (but since they're not cool enough to have one themselves they have to limit opinion-giving to when they see me in the flesh) so I'm hoping that they will be guilted/stirred into action by my laying down of the law.

I'll keep you posted.

Oh and I like your lists! Much more interesting than a, b, c or 1, 2, 3... ooooh I feel a case of the Jackson 5's coming on.

Sublime - Excellent news! I shall be over to yours shortly to check it out.

And Southern pig fat... yes. More likely to be that than the Pro-Activ stuff she flogs. Hang on - that's Jessica.

I get them confused. Southern blonde bimbos with good bodies and loads of dosh... and dumb husbands.

I want their lives!!!

Except that being blonde requires a lot of upkeep.

As does a good body.

And I don't want a dumb husband - I want a smart one.
