With some more classic scenes. I'm sure Hitchcock's Rear Window would provide evidence of bin police at work too. Lots of scope to keep us busy ;-D<BR/><BR/>Hi Mrs G - LOL - I wonder if the searcher ever did find what food to put in their cupboards. I'm writing up a basic larder cupboard list for the book, so perhaps that would have given them the answer:-D<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you've decided against wearing the wheelie bin the wedding and am pleased the advice came just in time. It's especially hard to get a matching hat these days too. Although you could detach the bin lid for such an occasion.<BR/><BR/>Instead I recommend a good rummage through your drawers and if you can't find anything, check with a friend or indeed a charity shop. I never thought I'd say this but a wedding that I'm going to in November will see the return of a 5.99 British Heart Foundation purchase that I discovered last year, just in time for my niece's Christening. A beautiful wrapover dress with tiny blue hearts, often seen when I'm out on important meetings too.<BR/><BR/>I do hope the searcher returns and says hello. It would be fantastic to discover the real story behind the search, rather than rely on my own madness that's prevailed.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, stranger things have happened, including young Ruby discovering she knew one of my blog commenters from 12 years ago.<BR/><BR/>I only met Ruby a couple of years ago and have only got to know the other lady through the comments on this blog. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps there's another tale to tell there and another opportunity for a plot line from John ;-D xxxAlmost Mrs Averagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566374419318255177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-34888323987821830912008-09-30T12:26:00.000+01:002008-09-30T12:26:00.000+01:00:D there is many a merry moment to be had from rea...:D there is many a merry moment to be had from reading visitors search strings.<BR/><BR/>One we had was "what food do i put in my cupboards?"<BR/>I mean, geesh, don't you know? Why not turn off the computer, open the cupboard door and have a look for yourself? Don't ask me, I don't even know who you are!!<BR/><BR/>I've been invited to a wedding on Friday, and thanks to your post I will now no longer run the risk of shame by wearing a wheelie bin. Phew - you saved me from humiliation; see - it was meant to be. I was looking for a zero waste outfit, and of course a wheelie bin is perfect - I wonder if I could squeeze into a size zero?<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for our friend Down Under who posed the cryptic message in the first place :D<BR/><BR/>John, you are clearly wasted talent (or have too much time on your hands).<BR/>But as for my wedding outfit; where shall I go, what will I do?<BR/><BR/>Mrs G xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-8989079924506016812008-09-30T10:56:00.000+01:002008-09-30T10:56:00.000+01:00Hi Mrs A,There are a lot of movies associated with...Hi Mrs A,<BR/><BR/>There are a lot of movies associated with Zero Waste.
