    Although once very popular, you don't seem to see 'teasmaids' about these days.

    Reminds me of Father Ted and Mrs Doyle, ahh go on.

    That is one of the few TV shows that I actually miss...

    How can you miss Father Ted - last time I checked it was on one of the Four channels almost every night.

    I neve thought I'd ever get fed up with watching it - but finally it's happened, and I really loved it once. - still do really but Channel Four should give it a bl**dy rest!

    Anyway - on teasmaids - my first wife was obsessed with tea. she got me to stop drinking coffee entirely - and we only drank tea. One day she started on about getting a teasmaid - this was in 1994 and I thought teasmaids had been obsolete since the 70s. But she found one and bought it, set it up next to the bed, and one day I was offered a plastic cup full of luke warm milky tea before I'd even opened my eyes.

    We were divorced within the year.

    That is the saddest thing I've heard today..

    I took my parents, wife and kids to the zoo as a Mothers Day treat. A good time was had by all (except for the bears perhaps).

    If you tried that in London you'd be the best part of 200 quid out of pocket afterwards.

    I'd forgotten just how lovely the small Suffolk town of Woodbridge is, so was pleased to spend the weekend there, reminding myself.

    There's a notice up in my office:
    "Dr Pepper: takes money but does not dispense"

    Who is this dastardly Dr Pepper, and why hasn't he been struck off? :evil:

    There is no force of nature capable of the level of devastation unleashed by a 5 year old boy, who sneezes while his mouth is stuffed full of Wotsits.

    I have finalised the bookings for my little jaunt around Suffolk and Norfolk in July.

    I will be sampling the delights of Sheringham, Huntstanton, Cambridge and Manningtree and all points in between.

    Hoping to clock up around 400/ 450 miles through the week.

    Our Health and Safety Director wasn't able to present the company's Health Improvement Plan today; he was off sick.

    Swallowing a whole mint imperial by accident can be scary,but if you make it,becomes slightly amusing.

    2 things, when you are trying to get ready to leave on a Friday and a Colleague asks if you are good with Excel ffs dont say anything other than "no" or "whats excel", I could be at home by now.

    When you use your Colleagues computer and the mouse is set to a much higher dpi than yours there will be lots of effing and blinding until you get used to it, then there is more effing and blinding when you get back to your own computer and find that you now cant use your own mouse properly.
