After finishing my early shift at work to-day, I got home and as it was a nice bright but cold day, though Id give the 996 a blast. First thing was the garage for petrol, parted with £20 cash collected the change and put the wallet into my inner pocket of the winter coat. Of on some of my local twisties for about 20 miles,then headed home as it started to snow slightly. When Mrs 4D came home I suggested a Takeaway and went for the wallet. No wallet,seach high and low for it to no avail. Gollock's rang Barclaycard and while I was cancelling the card, my mobile rang,it was the women from work calling ,that's all I need , a call out I thought.
It turns out that her husband was cycling along the same bit of road that I was blatting down earlier. He saw the wallet in the road and picked it up, this is on the main A505 a fast dual carriageway. When he got home he showed his missus what he had found and saw on the driving licence that it belonged to a Mr P Ford, she said we have a person of that name working at the airport and when she looked at the photo saw it was me. She then proceeds to go back to work and find my phone number and rings me to tell me the news. Not only were my cards ,licence ,AA, DSC card in there but £130 cash, How lucky Im I . Went round and collected it and passed over a nice bunch of flowers and couple of boxes of Chocolates Shuffing result thinks me 4D

What goes around comes around 4D. As it should.

However, you are clearly suffering from early alzheimers so ensure that you put your wallet somewhere safe because you cause people an AWFUL lot of extra aggro by being so sloppy :devil::devil::D:D

PS Am I sacked ?
