So there I was, telling the missus that everyone thinks she’s a comedy genius for having played the “Bisto/tea” prank.

“Ooh, lemme see!” she says, and boots up LJ to read the comments.

I decide, after having drunk 2 or 3 cups of tea already (real tea this time, not Bisto/tea) I should nip off to the loo. So, I do.

“Aw crap!” thinks I as I spy the porcelein bowl and a shiny reflective surface near the seat, “it’s flooded again,” making reference to the fact that me and plumbing haven’t got on recently. I look around the bathroom floor for water that has no place being there. I see none, and am slightly confused.

Oh, no! ‘Tis not flooded, it’s covered with bloody cling film!

And Suzy had the audacity to make a private post detailing her shenanigans on LJ before actually doing them!

Argh! Twice in one day!

So there I was, having a nice sit down, when who should appear through the doorway? ‘Twas none other than my dearest Suzy.

“Want this cuppa?” she asks, holding a steaming mug.
“Indeed I do!” I say, and she hands over the mug.
“Can I take a photograph of you drinking it?” she says.
I agree.
“Ok then, dearest, let me get ready.”

I venture through to the bedroom and prime myself for the photograph, while Suzy makes sure that the camera is all ticketty-boo.

“Right, ready,” she says, “you can take a sip now.”

So, in the normal fashion of these things, I bring the hot mug up to my lips and take a deep draught. My face contorts and a photograph is taken.

“Bleugh!” exclaims I, wiping remnants of the steaming beverage from my mouth.

It turns out that, unbeknownst to me, the light of my days had substituted the usual teabag for Bisto, and that I had, in fact, been drinking a milky gravylike concoction.

I guess that’s me, an April Fool.

Gah! At least it was veggie Bisto…
