Oh aye. Cracking flags here.

Hope young Miss GtE has a lovely birthday, whatever the weather.

How despicable. A guy sees custard slices and apple/cream turnovers in Asda, buys a couple of each then cancels his appointment with a health trainer for tomorrow. Disgusting....

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
I had once to give evidence than none of our businesses had used slave-labour or child labour in any of our European employment. Then we had to write non-slave labour and child labour policies for each European business/ These had to be then endorsed by the various Works Councils, where they existed.Bruce Rioja wrote:Americans and Bean-Counters. Sarbanes–Oxley, my arse!
I was then required to permit an audit of our workforce, where they searched for child or slave employment. In some areas our records weren't kept in such a way that we could easily prove this (viz. in some countries we didn't keep application forms, thus showing that employees had applied rather than been coerced into working, for over 10 years).
We were given only partial clearance until we could get independent proof of this. Until we were cleared we were (until we appealed to someone with a fckg brain) from recruiting in those countries. This was done not by Governments but by the £500 pd x God knows how many, consultants we were paying to review us. This, of course, meant more & more days work for them.
Unbloodied and unbowed they later returned for proof that we had audited our suppliers for the same.
Sarbanes–Oxley .... a process dreamt up by the US (the most likely offenders in my view) to ensure other nations weren't guilty of doing precisely what they had allowed businesses to get away with. Normally solved by adding to the coffers of the very audit Companies who hadn't properly overseen offenders in their own back yards.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I don't get why Facebook are insisting I install this stupid messenger app on my phone before I can see my messages? And I don't get how it works. Do you chat through that as well or do you still go online through fb chat? If it's not broken, don't try and fix it. Grrrr.

I thought I'd seek help to define this verb. The best google can come up with is this gem "I love sex on the beach, I just hate it when I get sand up my mut"

That's not a leopard!

And yes, it's an iPhone 4, AT. I love it so wouldn't swap it even if making calls is pants on it. I don't make many. More texting and web browsing.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
so - let's get this straight.. you're angry about not being able to have sex on the beach (presumably with hubbie) because your kids and inlaws are in the way and stopping you getting on with it?
