    Sorry - a man that can cook - gets the vote over any bloke that is good for decoration.

    He's not going to look pretty forever, but with age his cooking skills can only improve

    Its a no brainer.

    Gordon Ramsay
    Jamie Oliver
    Hugh fernywhotsis
    etc
    Infact any man that can cook decently - he doesn't need to be aesthetic on the eye.

    would get an invitation to Orkney way before Johnny Depp.


    Mrs HP says I'm aesthetic on the eye
    and
    I can cook .............................:whistle:

    Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo

    Day started pooooy and is now ok - huge fight with DOS culminating in my actually saying UM SORRY but you can't actually talk to me like that - if you want me I will be working at home.

    Even the technican (bless his little lovely cotton socks) asked how on earth I put up with the way he talks to me, does he know how aggressive his body language is and that I have the patience of a saint.

    Spent most of the morning in tears on and off in the secret sanctity of my own office.

    Anohter meeting tomorrow and now plodding through things. Will see - to be honest I have almost had enough.

    The other of me of course has my sleeves up in the manner of - OK you Winker I will show you.

    Emailing student services and my third party monitor today to see what happens if I want to formally complain about the shoddy support I am getting.

    Problem is I feel carp, unmotivated am making lots of stupid mistakes wiht writing and now have about zero confidence

    Whoops sorry to moan on

    Nice to see you all today on here - I don't know if I want any anethetics on my eyes hammy - would that stop them leaking??:rolleyes:

    Fay he's a truly horrible nasty vile little man - don't let him make you cry. Honestly - what a complete and utter....err....well....everything I can think of to call him is going to get edited out in a heartbeat by the filth filter. He is undoubtgedly both one who tosses and a complete and utter thingy-wit. (think Bridget Jones diary for translation) Bah! Ooh I'm cross!

    I think you just HAVE to take some advice from your Aberdeen Supervisor now - this unhelpful little so-and-so is now heading towards ruining YOUR future - and he simply cannot be allowed to do this.

    Get the half of you with it's sleeves rolled up to pick up the other half and give it a shake immediately - and accept a dodgy hug or two from me as well. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:
