    Back from my meeting. Presentation went very well except for one oik who wanted it put in the minutes that he objected to me doing the presentation at all because of my undoubted bias on the subject and self-glorification (or something!) when in fact I had made it completely unbiased and totally factual.

    Fortunately everyone else at the meeting disagreed with him so whilst his protest has been minuted, another minute has been added shooting it down in flames. :D I was congratulated by several people afterwards - they found it interesting and learnt a lot from it.

    Bedding on the line is nearly dry but not quite so I'll go off to Mr. T in a moment for the weekly shop then sort out my bedroom when I get back.

    Ha, well done Soappie, glad it went well and that the only person was shot down - always makes you feel better when that happens - knew you'd pull it off well...:T :T

    I am now being screamed at by a 15 yo who wants me to take him to his GFs - well he is now swearing and door slamming.

    This will be interesting...

    Not only are they noisy, 'orrible little oiks, they often blow out of steam really quick and end up sulking a lot before storming off out the front door... give it 5... ;)
