I agree with Heft and LB. A modern, flexible work place can be no less efficient and successful as one with the old-fashioned work ethic that huguenot aspires to.

This morning, I had FIVE pips in my tiny little Clementine orange. FIVE!

Did the rabbit have large front teeth? I think I saw it. He tried to get on the bus but the driver refused his card because it was an 'Easter Card', not an Oyster one as you first thought.

Waitrose? I heard it was going to be a multi-storey car park.

East Dulwich residents were amazed this morning when they drew back their curtains to see a flock of hundreds of Canada Geese had landed on the grassy area known as Goose Green. Local Wildfowl expert Dr Justin Phun said the geese were probably resting before they make their long journey home to Iceland.

Can't believe you didn't fall for it Sean! How did you guess??

...mind you, it may explain all the pot holes that have appeared in our roads!

I don't think heft is talking about applying for jobs with other companies, but the problems she has encountered in her own company.

Southwark Council have announced this morning that Lordship Lane is to be renamed after caving in to feminist pressure groups. The new name has been selected because it has no possibility of offending any person in the area. It will be renamed Looflipra Lane.

What's the date today?

The number of hours worked in a week is no indication of the experience or ability of an employee, hugenot. Commitment should not be measured by that either.

Ah... Crystal Swing. Masters of the hedonistic lyric. ;-)

Sorry if I'm butting in, but I think the role of the man should also be considered here. Its almost seen as a 'given' that us blokes will be the breadwinners and hardly contribute anything else to the upbringing of our own kids. However I think there is greater willingness amongst men to take an active part in the upbringing of their children and we are not content to just leave it to the women any more. Raising a child is a dual responsibility and, family finances permitting, either parent should be encouraged to work, or stay at home, if they so wish. I feel that society in the UK sees this step as too radical and so the status quo prevails, where the woman is expected to stay at home - thereby contributing to the frustration felt by women that their roles are not valued.

LM - I think you know what to do now. If it were me, I would go to see her, but perhaps imagine that her end is inevitable, as it would be if she had been told by the doctors that she had just a few days left to live. When it comes down to the bottom line, there is no real difference. Either way, you'll be saying goodbye to someone very close and acknowledging her life and your friendship. Take care Mx

Sorry you're leaving us, but all the best for your future life in the US. You can always log in from there, just in case you get withdrawal symptoms....!

Oh deep joy! A late equaliser against Arsenal.... and Villa thrashed 7-1. Marvelous.
