Garlic eaters should be shot at dawn. Have you ever had the misfortune to sit or stand next to one for over an hour in a packed train carriage? They say smokers are dirty rotten scoundrels; strewth! :vomit:

I used to have a colleague who had a chronic stomach problem. He ate whole bulbs of garlic as he said it helped. You could smell him in the reception, even though he worked in the basement, some 100 feet away behind three secure doors. Painful

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with people smelling of garlic. BO on the other hand is quite a different matter. Poooooooooooo

Whilst not disagreeing with the latter part, if you don't have a problem with folks stinking of garlic, you need some nasal surgery. It fcking hums.

You're entitled to disagree, even when it doesn't make you correct. :mrgreen:

I've heard there's folks into fart smelling too...So if that's what drives your crank, Frank, then good by me. :-)

Photographing my last wedding today. Done around 80 over the last 10 years, not advertised for six years so vast majority recommended by word of mouth. Loved every minute of it especially as I always worked with the bride rather then the groom (I've seen some sights, I tell you!) I have enjoyed working with each and every one of my gorgeous brides but time to call it a day. The lucky couple today are Vicky and Adam at Ainsworth. See you in about an hour!

First 'proper' job interview in 15 years. Proper, as in advertised externally and some serious competition in the mix. Much to my surprise, I only went and got the bloody job!

Schools have a finance team? Is that as in teaching finance, or managing the school's finances?

Bringing in external funding interests me. Where from?

Lottery for one. But I understand that's there's loads of others available, not necessarily all for schools. I'll need to have a scout around and work with the external funding team to prepare bids etc.

Can't wait to get cracking tbh. 10 work days to go. After 25 years!! 8)
