Can just imagine the tension in Quids' mind as he spends the evening trawling the various threads and, as he grinds away trying desperaately to compose a witty rejoinder, knowledgable quip or articulate point he notices that one thread has reached its 99th post and so, with a nifty bit of mousework, and nimble fingering, he types '100' and posts. cue self-congratulatory grin.

Quids, I haven't been able to give the matter the attention it deserves as yet. As you know there were all sorts of shenanigans going on about spelling today which took up some of my time.

And before anyone looks it up 'shenanigans' has no double 'n's, I've been up to them for some considerable time, so should know.

Added to that my employers had laid on some work for me today. Bastards.

But I know there's a difference, I can feel it in my water.

Aaah shucks Sean, thanks.

Hona, I think that my good intentions may have been somewhat misconstrued. I'd like to set the record straight; my offer of help to Giggirl and the other bandwagon chicks was genuine and heartfelt.


I regret that I can have been so misunderstood, and will try my hardest not to cause any confusion in the future.


Back to the number obsession.....

Oh Kells, forgive me my foolish misinterpretation of your intentions.

It's just that I've become so protective of the Bandwagon Chicks (particularlry the head of sorority that is Giggi) that I may have been somewhat defensive and not taken your assertion at the face value you intended.

Looking back at it, how could I have been so foolish.

Welcome good Kells and may I wish you many years of loving me and all that, this is a happy day indeed.

Made all the happier now that Sean M's joined in. Finally. Just joshing, SM.

I'm just off now to watch Question Time on BBC1 and the only thing that could possibly make me feel more joyous is if David Dimbleby drops the loaf on Piers Morgan.

Fingers crossed.

Giggi and TLS you're timing as always is immaculate.

It's some sort of sixth sense you both have about when a judicious post from you makes all the difference.

You've changed my internal soundtrack from Nick Lowe's Endless Sleep (#it makes you want to lay face down on the grass so brown, where the sun beats down on the baking ground, to find sweet relief, in endless sleep#) to the life-affirming potty-mouth of Uncle Fukka by Terrance And Phillip.

Indiscriminate kisses and hugs to you good, good people.

Oh no! I was trying to make a pertinent comment on another thread and inadvertently I've been and gone and brought this one back from page 6.

I'm utterly mortified by the whole thing. Please just ignore it.

And anyone who was previously in love with me and all that, you have my permission to withdraw your love.

It'll hurt but frankly I think I deserve it, it's almost as if I must be stopped. For my own bad.

It's a thankless task Al but I have to.

I feel duty bound, which in a way is like being egg-bound but you experience more crap.

Just to balance out the other thread. Frankly if no one else is prepared to love me, then I'll do the job myself.

Is Ying Yang the phrase I'm looking for?

It might be, seems as good as anything else.

As you were.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
