    I'm actually a bit more gutted than I thought I'd be TBH. Oh well. I got a group hug off my daughter and her toy kitten so that's everything alright :)

    And that's what matters.

    I'm sure this is only a minor setback in your rise to International stardom!

    Has anyone managed to get anything good in Amazon's Black Friday sale?

    I managed to get one of these of just under fifty quid.

    But you're right, there's an awful lot of dross.

    100% agree with Trev on this - there are more important things in life than running the world, you have a lot to be proud of, you income is not something I would ever judge you on.
    I think....

    Did they tell you why not?
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Does it come with a suitably naked man to operate it? I heard that was an integral part of the product?

    One of the things in the sale was that tennis-racquet-shaped thing for killing insects, as used naked by the partners of various NP.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Kinda. "We employed xxxx instead ya loser. Ha!" (I paraphrase).

    Actually they employed someone from the same department that the person that left came from. It's a like-for-like replacement.

    Has anyone managed to get anything good in Amazon's Black Friday sale? I've not found this as good as last year's sale with my bargain £65 telly. However DH managed to pick up a Miele vacuum cleaner at about a third off the Amazon price (which is about 40-45% off the RRP). I've been after the same cleaner for about a year, so not a bad result. Shame we missed the half priced one at the beginning of the week though.

    It's been guff imo.

    Gutted the comet's been destoyed - I was looking forward to hoping for clear skies and actually seeing something this time.

    Me too. Reports this morning suggest it might be back on, but I'm not hopeful...:(
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
