« election US style | Main | a big welcome... »
more drivel
Well this is a marvellous little thing from the BBC, for anyone interested in the election results. We believe in the BBC more than ever these days.
The new job is interesting. I have to close my door every so often and have a little smirk at how stupid they are to put me in charge. The people are very nice, but I don't have any chums yet and the pool gets smaller as I head towards the top of the pyramid (I'm about 8' from the ground now). I do miss Ms Ginger Cake's daily presence and I think that the rest of the division must know this because some higher ups have copied me into an email which suggests that the pair of us go to a conference together. Aah!
David has once again beaten me to it and done it better than I could. Damn him, Mr 'Zeitgeist' TEFLSmiler! He's not getting a link, I can tell you. Instead I'm going to link to an earlier post about smacking. I clearly forgot to mention at the time that it was only sensible to include an exemption for red headed step children. Please consider this a correction.

I knew I was sensing déjà-vu when I wrote that! Your original posting was far superior in every way; mine was just based on emotion.
Glad to hear about your new job at last - was wondering when it was going to get mentioned! What can you see from your window? And do you have any sexy serving boys standing in the corner and wafting you with big feathers on sticks?

Do the step-children really have to be red-headed? Darn.

David, you are too kind. I don't have any nice flimsily dressed men to pamper me, or indeed anyone to make me coffee even. What's the point of power without any perks?
Em², yes they do.

I'd just like to apolgise here to all of the U.K. and Europe for the election results. Really, really sorry.

That is just so typical! So Westerncentric! It's the rest of the world you have to apologise to! It's them that will suffer the most! (It just makes me want to exclaim!)

That was a really neat little map thingy on the beeb site. Loved it. Taught me a lot about US geography too.

We're sorry too, Jo. Our commiserations.
