My kind of flash mob

It was an advert for the bank, so I was trying to work out who was being paid to appear and who was helping the bank for nothing.

Cannot see link because no flash on macputer.

Anyhow, I think it's just a bad cold, (he doesn't seem on deaths door but he has been having some nasty sweats) so I think we will be ok. Him turning down some pork pie has alarmed me a bit, but he ate some lime jelly with rum in it. .

It's really cold out there tonight, when I was expecting cloud cover on the forecast, which after a gorgeous day would have trapped in some warmth. Hope it is cold and dry and hard, much better for me!

The gritters are out here which means that we're probably due for another Ice Age.

It is 35 degrees here. Not sure whether I would prefer to be here or there though, as the humidity is appalling.

You could leave a little sign asking them not to flush their Tapas? Decorate the sign with the Spanish flag and put some of those bags with the parasol lady on one of those tapas terracotta bowls?

Thinking outside the box, I like it!

I hope that everyone is well, and that Doozer and anyone else that's ill is back in high spirit (not high on spirits) for Christmas!

In other news, uninsured drivers have pushed up our premiums by £400m this year.

My sister says that doesn't seem fair. She only drives a Punto!

I wouldn't have the tampax problem...hysterectomy 11 years ago means I never have to worry about it ever again! Pure bliss I can tell you.

Sorry to hear you are unwell Doozer, hope you are feeling better soon.

Things are a little bumpy here (as I predicted), so my grey hairs are sprouting all over the place.

Grrrr.

My lovely short length of post and rail road side has been crashed into over night. The whole thing has been shunted, and one post and a couple of rails are completely shattered.

I resent that our pocket pays for the inepptitude but more fundamentally the dishonesty of a driver.

Hope you all get over the bumps OK.

Sorry to hear that, lir.

I had a bit of a scrape with another car in the car park at work a few weeks ago. I was running late (hence the careless parking) and had nothing to write on, so I just made a mental note of the registration number and dashed off to teach my lessons. At break I went along to the person who organises parking permits and asked her to look up who the car belonged to so I could let them know it was me etc. It turned out the car wasn't one of ours and shouldn't have been in our car park. By the time I had finished teaching and got back to the car park, it had gone. Not sure whether I should feel guilty for not leaving a note, or that it served them right for taking up one of our spaces. (Parking around where I work is a nightmare, and the school has more staff than parking places, so we often have to park on street quite some distance away.)

Don't feel guilty.
And don't expect to see that car back in your car park again! :j
