I wasn't aware there was an age..

I lived with my mate Dave in his place for a while back in England. He's the same age as me. ???

Presumably it's a law over here?

If it is then there are double standards because at the moment in the eyes of the U.S Government i am on my own, nobody is under any legal responsibility to take me in.

To Go back To Work when the employer catches you.

To sit down everyonce and a while when you are at an antiques fair and it is 75 degrees and all you have had for breakfast is a cup of coffee.  I got a little light headed but a sit down with some lemonade and a burger put me to rights.

I can't drink any sort of tea with milk in it.  I've only ever drunk one cup of milky tea which was made for me by a nun.  Because they're real fans of "waste not want not" I felt I really had to drink it.  Every mouthful made me gag!  :P

Oh dear, Amanda...that's horrid news...

Is the company offering any alternative means of employment? Or will you have to go back to square one?

I sincerely hope things work out...I've been 'there' myself...


Thanks Paul  :)

The company has said  it will offer alternative employment, but that's not to say it will be in the same or similar role, either  ???

We shall wait and see...sigh....

It does suck Mooster.

If they offered redeployment, would it mean having to work further away perhaps ?  :(

That the first people who tell you to "Get a life" usually don't have one themselves. ;D

Are you going to wait or start looking for something else now? That always sucks when they do that.....although, when I was "downsized", hubby said I didn't have to find another job ;)


I've decided to wait. I might whinge about my job from time to time but I really do enjoy it and if I was left in the lurch, so to speak, I have a few weeks holidays owing and hubby's wage could easily cover us for a while  :)

There are two stores I could go to and they are a tad further away  :P

I was thinking if they offered me something say....20 or 30 kms away...then I reckon I could take a hint  ::) ;D

OMG!!!!  Don't tell me you took that before work because that would suck.

Good Food is like a nice woman. ;D

I learned that you should always put your girlfriends first and make them a priority.I forgot to do that last night. :(

Never drive behind a bus

That's so true!  I go home and take a steep road which requires for me to get as much speed before I start heading up. Well, these darn buses always get in front of me and slow me down.. lol

www.zug.com has got to be the funniest website I have visited in a long time. ;D

I have not learned anything yet, for it is still 8am.

That Phillip needs to go back and redo his elementary math ;) (see Longest thread)
The theory was right, the initial key data collected was wrong.

I'm learning about social deprivation on this course I'm doing.

I also learned on Saturday that there is a massive statue of ABRAHAM LINCOLN in Westminster - he is sitting down in a chair looking at the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.  I never knew that statue was there  :)

;D ;D

Thanks for that Paulus  ;)  I will keep a beady eye open next time I'm up there  :)

The election results... 2 weeks after.

Now we no longer have to see the horrendously disfigured people on our TV sets (and plastered all over the city on billboards) and we can go back to ignoring the government for another 3 years.  :D

I found that out myself a few weeks ago.  They got over 250 locations across the US. :)



Here's an interesting little tidbit for my fellow Canadians.  I learned this yesterday and it's something i've always wondered about ...

Ever see this little logo on an album before?

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/whistledog/MAPL.jpg

The CanCon rule requires that Canadian radio stations play (i believe) atleast 30% Canadian music.  That logo means that the album contains Canadian content and it gives a Canadian artist a better chance of having their songs played on the air :)

Often certain sections of the logo will be highlghted in white, signifying that the recording is not 100% Canadian ...

M - the Music is performed by a Canadian
A - the Artist is Canadian
P - the recording was Produced in Canada
L - the Lyrics were written by a Canadian

that you should sometimes have patience and not rush life.

Don't take something apart unless you need to.

I thought I had to put the new belt on the hoover I have just bought. It's taken me about . . . 3 hours to work out how to do it only to find there is already a belt in there!

You tried.. and you failed. Bob, the lesson is.. never try.

I definately learned don't accuse someone of doing something until you know all the facts, that's very easy to do online, because you hear so many different sides and you don't know which side is right.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

never to buy one of those blow horn things for my son at a hockey game again.

Thanks a lot now I have that song stuck in my mind.  ;D

That sometimes your true love is right in front of you.

About the same amount as I learned on Saturday...

Always try your hardest in whatever you do.

...that one of our oldest movie & vaudeville theatres had a hidden downstairs area filled with movie star signatures on the walls and I got to see them tonight! Clark Gable's signature - in pencil and I got to touch it with my fingers... WOW! It was from 1938!!

Are there photographs available to see?

Unfortunately I had no camera on me. I guess the theatre had this wall there for years and when they restored the theatre and tore down the wall, they unearthed all these old signatures which looked as if they had been written yesterday. I couldn't believe how preserved the pencil looked. They must of not known for years. There were also signatures from Mae West and Al Jolson, but Jolson's was covered in plexi-glass.

I was hoping the signatures have been preserved with a cover, it would be a great lost to lose them.

Rightly so, I hope they do the same with Gable's as it's way too valuable - actually all of them were just fun to read and deserve equal preservation. They also had drawn some funny drawings of an opera singer and an old fashioned football player. Recent signatures had been added to continue the tradition.
