It's not just the goobledegook - it's the fact that whoever wrote this clearly hasn't got a clue...

But that is always the way with things like that wherever you work.

They never ask practitioners about these things or should I make that clearer they never asknow anyone who has actually done the job instead they ask someone that may have been lurking around in the background whilst the real work got done and then used the end result as an example of how well they themselves have done in their next promotion application.


I feel mildly better now

I see your boss is retiring

When he goes, does he get to pardon a couple of people, like the out-going US president? Could he let you off the rest of your sentence?

Oh I so wish.

Can one of you lot apply for the job please?

You get a rather nice flat free.

Hold your breath for 10 minutes. Guaranteed to work.

Touch wood ... my diaphragm has agreed to behave. Nearly hiccuped up my medication, which would have made for an interesting phone call with the doctor...

In other news, Gravel's flat mate has been hospitalised with Dengue fever. He's been in Thailand and Malaysia over the summer and came back feeling really unwell. Initially the doctors thought he had malaria but after running countless blood tests that was ruled out. Poor chap is still on a drip.

Ooops no that is not good.

Just googled that, sounds rather nasty. Glad he's on the mend

[QUOTE 4489692, member: 9609"]Bird Box cleaning day, I have taken all 12 down from in and around the garden, emptied them disinfected them put some dried grass/straw in the bottom for winter roosts and put them all back up - my good dead done

It is amazing how much stuff is in them

And a question just in case anyone knows - I made the same observation as last year in that the two boxes that were hung in Silver Birch trees were both heavily infested with Earwigs ? (one box had been used by Great Tits the other Tree Sparrows) so I doubt there is any connection by species of bird so it must be the tree, so what is the connection between earwigs and silver birch[/QUOTE]
Are the Earwigs a snack for the inhabitants but a bit like crumbs in bed, they get everywhere.

He seems to be recovering, thankfully but he was v poorly a week ago.

Sounds horrible. Glad he is recovering.

One of the basics of business analysis. ask the people doing the work, not their boss.
