If there was any justice in Manchester they'd be paying you. Unless it's a really undesirable sofa and carpet. The ones I've got in my living room in Leicester are.

When leaving a flat in Antwerp, I was legally obliged to find a new tenant, but none of the potential takers liked the carpet (which seemed perfectly alright to me) so I put it up for sale, "must be collected". When the buyers came to take it up, they kept grinning at me like I was a compete plonker, presumably because of the low price. I never mentioned that I'd otherwise have had to pay someone to dispose of it.

Is there no end to the oppression of tenants? If you don't get any takers are you stuck there for life?

Oh well, maybe there was another reason for them grinning at you. What a nightmare though, having to find somebody to move in, and them taking a look and saying "I don't like the carpet." Reminds me of my last employer who put me on a rota for some horrible job and then said I had to find another mug to do it after my turn had expired. Lucky for me that system broke down because too many people just didn't obey it very conscientiously. People tend to fight back when the elite try it on.

For a minute there I thought it said Shakespeare. I couldn't work out how he'd managed to steal your gloves, or why you thought that made him more fun.

You should have gone to Specsavers

Arf! Arf!* Why would I want to go to Superman?

I see they got rid of the offensive tagline "the short-sighted gink."
