Work is a four letter word , l will have nothing to do with such profanity

I used to agree! Had 6 months off this year, April to September. Bloody marvelous ... and LOTS of cycling

He admits his crackers "went long ago".

Definitely, I retired in 2015 and have no interest in that word.

I think I've succeeded in getting the nurses to understand that my mother is virtually blind and, as a result, has a tendency to switch her phone off completely when she only means to end a call. Switching phones back on is now on their list of nursing duties!

Spaghetti & meatballs for supper.

Now feeling sleepy and reading dubious Harry Potter fanfic.

ok but if something fell on you & trapped you when would anyone discover you?

Everything is stored at ground level in the area where I was working (for some reason they don't trust us with forklifts!), so I'd have to have been lying down and having a kip for that to happen. We have to check in with the foreman on arrival and there is moitored CCTV.

I accidentally bit into a coffee cream when offered a chocolate

I think that coffee creams should be wrapped in hi-vis to identify them at a casual glance and avoid such horrific accidents.

I'll take all the coffee creams you can offer
And the orange creams, strawberry creams, caramels...
In exchange does anybody want the coconut eclairs or whatever those things in the blue wrapper in Quality Street tins are?

I am now just over 10 hours, one afternoon kip & 1 evening kip into a 6 day Ch****mas break. There is a temptation to fake a positive Covid test and have 7 days away from everybody, but I've probably left it a bit late to book a home delivery slot for food and drink and there's an important event on Saturday that I have to turn up for.

Have you ever tried the Seville Orange caramels in the Thorntons continental selection? Oh man, they're lush!

I'm not overly keen on Quality Street in general. Or Roses for that matter. They're all too sweet.

I've been sent home. Because of bleeding nose. Fookin bleeding nose. Which has been sorted out in 5 minutes.
Bleeding nose. Still cannot believe it.
Rant over.
But I'm still fuming.
Bleeding nose ... really?

Don't worry old bean. It's a H&S concern they probably have.
Happy Christmas.
