A colleague who confused himself this week whilst trying to say we'll look at the individual work requests and apply rough order of magnitude estimates to a get a feel for the total effort that will be required...
He merged "t shirt sizing" and "wet finger in the air" and came up with "wet t shirt sizing"... The transition to crimson started about 8 milliseconds later...

Total lower league football _ I was at a proper "scrapping the barrel" relegation 6 pointer today - Sutton v Grimsby.
Awful ground? Tick
Dodgy pitch? Tick.
Low quality football? Tick tick tick
Dodgy ref? Tick
Dodgy Linesman? Tick.
An undercurrenct of menace hanging in the air after a last minute equaliser? Tick.
Grown men acting like children? Tick.
What more - I even got chatting to the guy who nornally dresses up as grimsby's mascot. I've found out stuff I never even knew I didn't not know.

Not the same since Sutton lost the Roly Poly Goalie. Seeing the Lillywhites beat Sutton was marvellous.

High quality metal hangers. About 40 p each - don't bend and break like the annoying free ones from the drycleaner, don't snap or take up as much room as the plastic ones. Every time I take a shirt from the wardrobe they raise a smile.

A thrilling game of rugby.
I asked the Frenchman next to me if he had any particular plans for tomorrow. He replied, “The feminines? Is good. If you have a bus or a van, is even better. Are you engaged in bread?”

The rather wonderful German word Kummerspeck, which has no English equivalent but means the extra weight you put on due to worry, unhappiness (or heartbreak?).
I was informed this morning of another lovely (and potentially very useful) German word:
"Drachenfutter (plural not attested)
(very rare) A gift given to placate someone, especially a spouse, who is angry at the giver."

Had a letter from the Pru today which said.

So my new Samsung mobile doesn't have a headphone jack and I have lots of earphones of decent quality, and a simple connector jack-USB was a bit unsatisfactory. Called excellent hifiheadphones to discuss best wireless headphone options and an enthusiastic chap took me through the pros and cons of wireless, then suggested a new connector for my old earphones with inbuilt DAC (please don't confuse me with a tech expert) made by GO link which gives remarkably good sound for these old ears. Cheaper than new earphones of course. (No connection etc - no pun intended)

Not to cat-jack the thread, but I was never, ever a cat lover. This little beauty has completely stolen my heart though - even though we co-parent her with her real owners (also neighbours and great friends!). I can't think of a more calming and comforting creature, even though I suspect most people think that of their pets
