Went to the Post Office to transfer an ISA, had to fill a form in, took it back to the counter, assistant was inputting my details and she said "That's an unusual surname, never come across that one before" It's not unusual really I said, she showed me my form I had entered Surname as my surname! Boy did I feel an idiot, I had no recollection of doing that. Do I need to be worried, anyone else done something stupid like that?

I sent a rather badly worded email yesterday "Dear Martin - apologies I didn't get this to you yesterday, I had to step in at the last minute and cover a hearing for a sh1t colleague". I meant "SICK" colleague................
At a job interview I'd spent twenty minutes anwering questions and telling them I had great orgnisational skills and an excellent memory. They thanked me and I got up and left went down in the lift and was just about to leave the building, when I realised I'd left my handbag on the inteview room floor.....I had to go back and slink back into the room to get it......I didn't get the job!
I once applied for a job, and when I got to the interview, one of the people asked me my name which I thought was odd as I'd filled in the form. Apparently, I'd put my first name in both first name and surname! I seem to recall the phone ringing as I was filling it in.

But I once bought a black and white dog because the licence was cheaper!
The dog licence was abolished in England in 1987 but still exists in Northern Ireland. police dogs there, strangely, don't need one.
PipinDorset, I would imagine Fido will have more success then I had.
