Random musings and general banter.

That’s my parents off to France, I know I said I was going, but that was only If I could find some support at home, and there 50th Anniversary should be just them, plus I was hesitant about flying if honest.

So I’m here, With a cousin, and another cousins, 18 year old Daughter who Is coming back from uni of Surrey for the weekend. She is studying performing arts and Drama, but I’ve told her over the weekend she can view some IW, and she will learn quick, that If her future ever gets stuck, there are 2 guys she can watch at the weekend and see your career won’t be over, as in Peter V and Peter S.

Mum and Dad are taking me to a hotel next weekend, and Weymouth for 3 weeks in a Caravan in April, which is more me than abroad if honest.

That's fine, if it would you problems going it's for the best. At least you have things to look forward to which I think is important in life. I always try to have things to look forward to, no matter how simple or inexpensive.

And it sounds like you have good company with you

Told her she will find Peter S Yummy.

Dad has also left us with a credit card

My dad would never have left his credit card with me (even though I'm sensible!)

Poor old Alex. Don’t get forced out. Stick it out. Or stick a custard pie in that grotty beard.

Do you mind! There are living creatures in that beard - have some compassion, do! David Attenborough did a whole programme about them...

I remember during my time in-house as a young police officer being insulted and then almost immediately afterwards “We love you really.” Or “What a toss…” And straight after..”We are only doing it for your own benefit, mate…Yer cu…..” The behaviour tonight resonated strongly with me…Nice, than nasty almost in the same sentence. You clutched at the ‘nice’ moments, and used it almost as an excuse to accept the negative and cruel verbal abuse..

This used to be a feature of a lot of jobs I think, back in the day, and generally speaking people didn't challenge it or speak up for fear of being called a wuss (or whatever). Thankfully now people do challenge it, so that's one thing that I think has improved in workplaces. I remember my Dad saying that in engineering, it was standard form in his young days for the older guys to humiliate the apprentices. My Dad said he vowed that he would never do the same once he was qualified: he never forgot - and said he never would - the way it made him feel and how you just had to keep telling yourself that one day it would stop.

She’s also gonna have to watch a Peter Simon shift.

She told me Ideal World was Sick. They are both watching Scrogge for some reason.

Dad has already phoned 3 times

Nobody watching Sally

 

[Duke of Cheese]

She is unwatchable, so no, not me. I only watch her if I want to make a ridiculous photograph.

 

[EmmaP]

Could Sally be expecting she looks bigger by the week

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Can you give birth to a sack of potatoes?

Creepy Mark on TJC wearing the LED facemask now, truly the stuff of nightmares

Well I really hope not, because she's still got that horrible smoker's cough that she does little to hide.

How dare you, she lives a highly healthy life

She could do with some laxatives though, because she's clearly full of...
