well there you go - don't bother then unless you are likely to get something in return (i.e. not get made redundant / get promoted). otherwise just work normal hours and say " i didn't have time to get it done, sorry."

I'd say he is fairly relaxed here now.

Oooh, just moved a bit, even cuter

This is the NP thread, so I'm making nice comments.

I would never have thought of calling a daughter Sapphire. Ruby maybe (though that sounds a bit "upstairs, downstairs") but never emerald, diamond or sapphire!

Pearl's a bad choice .... you can just hear an ugly kid arriving at school to the chanting of: Pearl's a Minger.....

Who is called sapphire?

Tbh, while I would not choose it I don't mind it. Maybe they have a 'personal' reason?

Off topic and a bit of a whinge - posted this on another thread - see, I am very whiney (andexhausted).
Tonight on my journey back from London I paid to upgrade my ticket and got the last seat in 1st Class. It was £20+ but a whole lot better than standing for over an hour after a very long day.

My day return ticket had already cost over £75 and I had had to stand for part of the journey in the morning.

I would be happy to pay a few £ extra to prebook a seat rather than the random scrum when an already full train pulls in and you have to board. I am not convinced that first come first served is a reasonable principle when customers at 'later' stations will always have an unmet demand for seats.
