    Early start and finish today, heart not really in it, but trudging through 2015 forecasts to share with my manager and associated parties. A very weird atmosphere in the office this afternoon due to tragic events down the road at George Square, Glasgow is exceptionally subdued.
    Shocking Ed :(.

    In brighter news......... try searching for "Just because I live in a £1m house doesn't mean I'm not on the breadline" and follow the link to Mr MM :D.

    I offered myself as a turkey at work but they've decided not to have Christmas this year :(. Instead we'll be having another round of 'arranging deckchairs on the Titanic' :o.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm glad you're all okay.

    I think everyone is in shock, I was standing in that exact spot on Friday, it's a popular place to get picked up outside the station.

    Sorry the turkey farmers decided not to take volunteers.

    Oh ed! Cos of your name, I sort of forget *where* you are :( the atmosphere must have been terrible. That one family is all over the news, of course; hard to imagine anything worse/

    Still, I hope your celebration was still very jolly in the end :xmastree:
