I've had enough of my two closest colleagues - one sat next to me and one sat opposite - eating carrots. They've both recently taken to snacking on them, and both of them do it very noisily indeed.


One of them in particular bites chunks from his carrots with such gusto that I half expect him to leap up and slap his thigh, panto-style, before proclaiming how much he wishes he were a rabbit. He also opens his mouth for a chew every fifth chew or so, just to make sure you can hear what he's up to.


The other one's not quite as bad, but there's still too much munching and crunching, and I think he just encourages the other one.


I'm subjected to this at least twice a day - one carrot each - but often more.


It makes me grumpy. I think next time it happens I shall have to get up and leave my desk until they're done with their rooty snacks.

I am really bored with people talking about


1. "Mini mes"

and

2. People paraphrasing Mrs Merton along the lines of "So what attracted young woman to aging multi millionaire wrinkly" type remarks.


There are a few more - I'll have to get back to you on them. The 2 above are really bugging me to distraction, though.

Bloody hell! That would drive me insane. They'll be on the celery next. I'd get them a rabbit hutch and stick the bastards outside.


Its probably awkward as the two Guys may be senior,on a larger wage....or put another way on a larger monthly celery..:-$

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
