Spoken of over a phone, loud enough to be heard by all & sundry.

I know who I’d be managing out !!

I once sat on a train opposite a woman who did a minion’s appraisal by phone (on hands free, be fair she had to be able to write as well) … & it wasn’t a good appraisal … . I put up with it for over 30 minutes before asking her to stop, saying it was most inappropriate.

She snotted me. So I killed the call on the phone lying on the table. As she prepared to roast at me I pointed out that I’d known the HR Director of her firm for 20 years and she’d be hearing more about this.

She was not a happy bunny & packed her bags, swore at me quite comprehensively & buggered off, muttering.

You’d have to be quite a snitch to follow-up my threat to tell the HRD. … say “hello” to ‘quite a snitch’ !

When I spoke to him it was clear this was not untypical of her behaviour.

Gawds.

No. … & I’m all ears (or eyes, as may be).

Or direct me to your thread.

West of Wales, generally a thing to be avoided in my experience.

Depends how far west. Things improve once you hit Wexford.

You are, of course, correct Joe.

It should read “the West of Wales”.

… & on that I will countenance no debate.

Some folk have the wisdom to go very far west of Wales

Just about as far as you can while staying on the archipelago!

Ditto, and ditto.

Now here’s a puzzle.

I started out all the medications that I take at the same time (I know, but we were being thorough).

Each prescription is for either 56 or 112 tablets, and lasts for two lunar months.

So why is it that five years later, I run out of different pills in different weeks, instead of having to collect them all at the same time at two-lunar-month intervals?

Both doctor and pharmacist say this is quite usual, but I don’t see how it is possible unless I were either taking or not-taking some pills as a norm, and apart from the messing about with the warfarin quantities which happens every so often I know that I am not. I put each week’s pills into a daily box to make sure of it and of not forgetting or taking too many. So how can it happen?

Baffled, I shall go and fetch two of the eight sorts of pill I take.
