One of our female club members said to me THIS year "You look like a 30 year old........from behind!!" 😄😄😄I had a young woman lean out of the passenger side window to heckle me from an overtaking car...
"Phwoar - nice *rse, mate!"
Closely followed by howls of laughter as the occupants of the car spotted my grey hair and gnarly face...
"Oh Jeez, he's an OLD MAN!"

If that happened to me approaching the big 80 I would suggest that she discuss her eye sight problems with Mr Cummings and see if he can recommend a decent optician
Did you dream that?
Believe it or not we had an incident at work when a chap held the door for a female colleague and she was really annoyed with him and accused him of implying that 'as a women she was incapable of opening her own doors' 
But a 30yr old what?

Our postal service works odd hours. Much depends on weather and ferry services so today the ferries were off for a large part of the day but the post keeps on delivering on arrival.
Todays mail has just arrived about 20 minutes ago just before 8 o'clock. This is not just due to Christmas rush but is normal practice. I doubt they get paid overtime.

If somebody reacted like that to me I would tell her that I hold doors open for people of all ages, genders, races, and orientations - it is called 'simple courtesy'.Believe it or not we had an incident at work when a chap held the door for a female colleague and she was really annoyed with him and accused him of implying that 'as a women she was incapable of opening her own doors'
If I were in a foul mood that day, I might go further and suggest that the reason someone might consider her to be a judgemental fool had nothing whatsoever to do with her being a woman...

Absolutely right.. There is such a things as manners and I will always offer to help a lady/women because I was born in the time of chivalry and NOBODY will change that in me. It makes me fume the way the current generation swear in front of women and children as if it was totally acceptable which it most definitely is not.If somebody reacted like that to me I would tell her that I hold doors open for people of all ages, genders, races, and orientations - it is called 'simple courtesy'.

03:47, I was watching the police outside.
So that's what your neighbours meant when they said you had been seen taking a blonde into the Caravan

Too many chiefs and no-where near enough Indians.My Niece is a junior Doctor up in Cumbria and was recently getting a ridiculously high hourly rate for covering other peoples shifts during sickness/holiday periods but then this week she was sent home early because the hospital had too many Doctors
She's my Niece and I love her dearly and wish her well but, I can't understand how there can be such a vast difference in a wage structure anywhere. I know the NHS is a very emotive subject and clearly in need of more funding so please don't jump down my throat as this is only my personal opinion but, the NHS 'like many industries' must just haemorrhage money through basic bad management rather than its problems being solely down to the lack of a sufficient budget. I work for a large global company and have done for a long time now (30yrs) so have no axe to grind with the company itself as it has paid my way but over the past 10yrs I can see that the trend is now more about image than efficiency and the policy is to recruit highly qualified Managers from externally rather than promoting the experienced people from within. I know that 'fresh eyes' can see things that 'the old hands' may be blinkered to but the high flyers from business school 'with more degrees than a thermometer' may improve a company image but in most cases they have a long term personal plan to 'better themselves' and will always have one eye on the next best thing and bigger salary which IMO is not displaying the characteristics of a person who is willing to roll up their sleeves and set about making improvements.
Oops sorry, that was a bit serious for this happy forum but phew I feel better now
Each chief trying to prove that they can do their job better than any other chief. Current chief executive of the local trust was print works manager for a neighbouring council. He has no idea what it takes to do the job. But he is good at passing the buck.
