Unhappy The Boss is about to bust my #@*+

Well I have been finally caught out

The big Boss just walked in - I am meant to be cleaning up and shutting the store down but here I am caught red faced on the computer talking Cobra.

Now she knows why I am late home

To really make matters worse she noticed I have an average Post rate of four per day.

Whats she say then

She really cut to the bone...

She said, "You send four of these off per day, Gee thats more than the number of burgers you make each day...

Now that really cut to the bone. How can I convince her how hard I work.

You know how hard I work - come on guys a little support

You all saw me slaving my a#$@ off at breakfast after the 'Weekend at Bernie's'

Go on tell her guys how hard I work. I need points

Will talk to you Monday next, if she lets me

She's will have me chained to the grill cooking!! ( No not 'B + D' )

Sounds good though

Must go heading to Melbourne for a few days to do some more work on the toy there.

She not that bad - just thought I would put this in to annoy her.

Cheers

Bernie

I'll stick up for you Bernie...but it will cost you.

Little Porsha has been playing all week with her little friends: there's Bruce, Perl, Gil, Dory, Squirt, Bloat and Marlin but no Nemo

I think the Nemos lasted about an hour before selling out throughout Melbourne.

Could you have a word to the man with the big red hair please, to see if he has one in hiding.


mmmmm icecreammmmm

Wait until they are older and they say things like, "Father, may I, most humbly, begg to borrow... the cobra?"

Notice they change your name to father, Not dad or 'the old man'. And, they use words like, "Most humbly"

Just wait, you'll be sitting back and thinking of these days you are having now.

From plastic fish to fiberglass cars in 16 years.

by 2019 I'm sure she'll be driving something a lot nicer than the old Cobra.
I'll probably be begging her for a drive.

Jason, That is one little cutie you got there.....blu$$y lucky she got her good looks from her mum hey?

Bernie, My wife used to give me hell about all sorts of things...If the sun came in the morning , it was my fault and I'd cop it.

Fixed all that now now... I started to refer to her as "The first wife".

Thanks guys,

This has really picked me up.

Jason will try Sydney markeing Dept. as they may have one on display there still. They were all cleared out in about two (2) days.

The most successful movie and promotion for sometime.

See what I can do.

Cheers

Default Oi Bernie

Dont go to a lot of trouble getting that Nemo plastic fish thingy.

Jason says its for Porsha...but it's really for him.
Notice how all the proper toy names just roll off his keyboard.

He knows way too much about them toys to just have a daddy interest in them.

How did you know that they were all the correct names?
Unless of course your a closet Nemo-philiac yourself?
I think you may be jealous 'cause I have a full set and you don't.

Hey Jason

Just got an email back earlier today apparently. Anne tells me she may have found Nemo in Canberra. She just read some of my emails as I am in Melbourne.

I will get it sent across for your daughter.

Its our little secret but Rebel1 doesn't know about the Barbie Happy meal collection you have on your side table there.

I won't tell him if you keep my secret about wearing Ronald's suite to bed

Will let you know about the toys and despatch. By the way they tell me they are even on EBay now.

Cheers

Bernie

Thanks Bern,

I might paint it chrome and stick it on the front of the Cobra for Wakefield.

No... I don't think Porsha would like that too much.

Maybe I'll use Gill, he would be more aerodynamic (may also help with cornering speed)
