I am beginning to think that Oops! Have lost my parcel ! The tracking device is stuck in Tamworth and hasn't moved for days!

It is torture waiting for something, hearing the doorbell and discover that it's your wife's parcel !

Thanks Bullets might have helped ! It was a bit of off the cuff type talk. I didn't know if anyone would turn up or exactly what I was supposed to talk about . I think most of my work was from 20 years ago, time has moved on and ideas about the past and archaeological discoveries have altered. Plus my memory is a bit faulty especially today.
Having done it I am a bit more knowledgeable as to what's required.
There's been an "oops" liveried van up here. I was thinking, after it passed me, it'd be a great name for a delivery company. Then it passed me pulling out of a sidestreet, then coming back the other way.

Threw my rattle out the pram this morning at work :blush::laugh:

It's been a stressy week, one of my worst, just can't catch up with the workload.
One of the line workers blocked me in while I was working on a machine with a pallet of boxes...preventing me from getting my toolchest out....it just tipped me over the edge :tongue: I shoved my toolbox through In a mini strop...knocked over maybe 10 empty boxes....and I instantly made myself look a proper idiot.

Ah well, 2 minutes later I chilled back down .

Unusual for me, when things get stressy, I usually deliberately chill down, just to try to control the rising stress levels.

That poor, defenceless tool chest.

Pretzels are the best snack to eat,
no other snack to me can compete.
Most everyone likes them it's true,
having them as a snack is nothing new.
Pretzels have been around forever,
there are no ties we can sever.

There is a story I would like to tell,
about how these pretzels started to sell.
A monk from France shared his recipe,
it showed how to make a pretzel cookie you see.
He showed the American how it was made,
the way it was folded so the pretzel stayed.

Rolled the dough out and made it long,
tied it together like praying hands that are strong.
Tied it towards God because that where prayers go,
this made the shape of the pretzel and that is so.
Then some American took dough and did the same,
that's when the true pretzel got it's name.

So that is why the pretzel is the best snack ever,
to live without them I say never!

I've been dipping into a large bag of pretzels all evening... :blush:
