Far too clever for me at this time of night. Sure it's a very witty and pertient point to those less tired.

I'm off at work tomorrow too, wageslave. (Boo.)

Long standardisation meeting tomorrow. Still, chance to catch up with some old faces, and civilised conversation. Ho hum.

If you had met them you would know why. The dad is a tube driver and his wife is a banker. 2 of their kids work in the public sector and the other is unemployed.

H'okay. Which annoys you more, the banker, the civil servant or the unemployed person?

It can't be the poor auld tube driver.

I didn't really feel that sick...took me by surprise, otherwise I would have moved!:o Feel ok now too, just keeping quiet just in case. Feel more sorry for poor DH. He's such a poppet.

Yes, men's masterful ability to deal with someone else's sick always impresses me too. (Usually the kids', I should add, not mine.) I'm much more squeamish.
