No wonder she's called Paula Peril -
she's waiting for a train on the tracks instead
of on the station platform. This hot babe sure is
beautiful, but she's also totally bonkers! I hope
she's got a ticket, not that it'll do her any good
if a train hits her at 90 miles an hour.
(Though maybe her 'airbags' will save her.)

I had never heard of Paula Peril before but she seems to be a TV / film and comic book character.
Her usual name is Valerie Perez, McS, though I've featured her under her Paula Peril personna half-a-dozen times now. I think she even commented (under her name Valerie) on the blog once.
I was about to say the same as Paul - her name sounds like a Hanna Barbera character as in Penelope Pitstop.
I've bought a box of Shredded Wheat which, believe it or not, I've never tasted before so this will be a new experience for me. I recall my father saying Shredded Wheat looks like straw and probably tastes like straw too but now at last I shall discover the truth. I'm guessing it probably tastes similar to Weetabix rather than straw.
I tried Shredded Wheat once, CJ, and if memory serves, your father was correct as regards the taste.
Lost my mobile 'phone yesterday, so that's all my numbers gone. Whoever found it must be using it to talk to their pals until the money on it runs out. I've left messages on voicemail saying there's a reward for its return, but no response so far. I know someone's found it, 'cos sometimes it's switched off, other times it's on. B*st*rds!
That's a terrible thing to happen, Kid, so you have my deepest sympathy. Losing my phone or my debit-card is the stuff of nightmares for me so I check and double-check that they are safe whenever I've got them with me. Do you know how you managed to lose your phone? I mean did it fall out of your pocket or did you lay it down somewhere and forget about it? All my important phone numbers are written down in a notebook so if the worst happened at least I'd still have my numbers at hand.
I think it must've 'jumped' out of my pocket, CJ, when I was going over a dropped kerb on my mobility scooter. I've ordered another mobile of the same model on eBay and I bought a new Sim card earlier, which I'll have to see if I can get changed to my old number. Terribly inconvenient I must say.
Shredded Wheat is nothing like Weetabix Colin, I like it but it's not to everyone's taste. I lost my phone a few years ago and it was a nightmare trying to get numbers again for friends and family. I now keep a screenshot of them in my email just incase I lose my phone again. Hope you get it back Kid you never know .
Nah, somebody's found it and is using the credit on it, McS, going by the fact that sometimes it's switched on and other times it isn't. When the credit is used up, they'll probably put their own Sim card in it. Trying to get my old number back is a nightmare, due to my local o2 shop saying they need a passport and driving licence to prove my ID before they can restore it. I 'phoned head office and they told me that photo ID and my bank card should suffice, so I took in two bank cards, a couple of named and addressed bank statements, and a few other things. Unhelpful manageress said no, and wouldn't help me. I said I wasn't leaving the store until she accepted what head office said and she got three security guards to try and intimidate me to leave as I wasn't happy about her "Off you pop, mate". Needless to say, I
wasn't intimidated, and it wasn't until I got her to ask me nicely that I left. Some of these security guards are no more than posing Nazis, thinking that because they wear uniforms, people are scared of them. Not this fella!
Crikey! That's a tad extreme. You should report them. Some of these techy type places are unreal fulla folk that think they are indispensable. Customer service is a thing of the past, even if they couldn't take your cards as evidence in the store, regardless of HQ saying they should, there's ways to deal nicely and helpfully with that. A bank card etc is as you know acceptable not everyone drives or has a passport. I drive but still ( for now) have old style licence with no pic and my Passports about to expire yikes!
Kid, if you can't get your old number back will you just buy a phone with a new number?
I've now had a bowl of Shredded Wheat and, as Paul says, it doesn't taste like Weetabix but it doesn't taste like straw either (not that I've actually tasted straw which might be delicious for all I know).
I've also bought a toffee apple for the first time in decades.
Actually, though I said 'head office', on reflection it was probably one of their customer relations team on a multiple-choice option number I called, printed on the Sim card packing, McS. (Though she took time to speak to a 'higher-up' to enquire about whether my forms of ID were acceptable.) When I asked the store 'manageress' for the number of Head Office, I meant in Scotland or Britain - y'know, the people she'll have to report to from time-to-time to report on sales figures, etc. She refused to tell me, nor would she give me her surname when I said I'd be reporting her. I refused to leave until she did (though she didn't), which is why she said she was going to call security. Two of them were just a couple of young-ish guys, indulging in the usual macho posturing that cretins (in almost police-style uniforms designed to intimidate people and suggest an authority they don't have) usually adopt. The third guy wasn't so bad. One of the younger ones even threatened to ban me from the centre. Thing is, I was polite, soft-spoken, and non-threatening, but they just didn't seem to realise how ridiculous three guys surrounding a pensioner in a mobility scooter must've looked to any observers. Once outside the store, I made sure they dispersed before I went on my way (to Iceland and Farmfoods) to do some shopping. Customers don't seem to have rights anymore, but I shall be pursuing the matter, rest assured.
I've already bought a new Sim card, which has a new number, CJ, but I want to change it to my old number as I can actually remember it. I wanted a mobile the same as my old model (which is only around a year or so old), but none of the shops had any in stock so I ordered it on the Internet and should receive it in a few days. (It says Friday or Saturday, though as it's still showing as 'awaiting dispatch' that's probably being optimistic.)
Who knows, maybe the taste of Shredded Wheat has slightly altered since I had some (decades ago), but I wasn't too impressed with them. I occasionally have Special K now, with added vitamins.
Haven't had a toffee apple in years, nor do I ever intend to; I'm not sure my teeth would survive the encounter.
