Seduction day today for my new job, didn't get seduced cos there is a problem of some sort, gotta go back Thursday init?
While there they brought up the subject of jewelry, I don't allowed to wear me watch and me ring is the wrong shape might get caught or cut someone.
Now as far as I am concerned I think they are bloody dangerous things and would not wear one at all if I had my way.
Try telling my Drain that, I would rather lose a finger to prove they are dangerous than upset her by not wearing it so for the last 43 years I have had me ring on.
Recently due to weight loss I have had the ring slip off me finger and recovered it from the bend in the pub washbasin and the firms urinals when the drier blew it off me finger.
This is not happening no more and I don't wanna alter it in case I get fat again, so my Drain agreed that I could wear the claddagh ring she bought me instead.
Took it off last week while on training and felt naked without it, got so used to it init?
Anyway they said I could wear a band but no more than that so I made meself one, never wanted to make one of these cos I hear so much grief about how hard they are, small fiddly things ain't my forte these days.
So a bit of oak worktop was at hand to practice with and first attempt was a goodun, so thin I can see through it in places, held together with ca and tougher than I give credit for, worn it all afternoon and done washing up with it on.
Lets see how long it lasts.
Have I made enuff excuses for being a tart?

Way to go Brian. Footballers were able to play if the ring was covered for the match. I doffed mine following a near removal of that finger fifty years ago hands in switchboards and all that.

Brian Wilson, Lord of the rings. :funny:

Three rings for the Elves, seven rings for the Dwarves, and nine rings for men. One additional ring, the One Ring, was forged by Grump himself in the fires of Stevenage.
