It's fine, I'm sure GG (I think it was her?) will lend you her negative repelling bubble

I was just thinking about that - but a bit worried she'd drop it
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Oh naw I totally forgot all about thunderbirds.....I should have done the bell jar drop to block out the inane ramblings - by the way she's not a nasty person, just someone who has a very elevated opinion of herself and knows everything about everything:cool:
She's a female David Brent/Alan Partridge and often gives me a laugh...not intentionally, but to coin skint_spice, just at some of the pish she comes out with:DFebruary13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

I work with a bloke like that and every time he starts I have an image of him in my head which makes me chuckle. Unfortunately I can't always stop the chuckle coming out, which is all well and good if I can mute a con call, but a tad embarrassing if we are together in the office

The image is of him in Y fronts, with a a string vest and a knitted hanky atop his head. No clue where the image came from but without exception it appears :rotfl::rotfl:
Enjoy tomorrow and hopefully you won't need the bell jar come Friday
