    Thanks people for the kind words/thoughts.
    So many of these bureaucrats seem to be bullies of no intellect, full of education but no knowledge, who have never built a car in their lives, but have finally got themselves into a position of minor power where they can throw thier weight about and make everyone's lives that little bit more difficult.
    I liken them to eunuchs in an harem; they know how it's done, they see it done every day, but are totally incapable of doing it themselves.

    You're supposed to mellow as you get older; but I've become more irascable...where once I would have rolled with the punches, now I'm more inclined to say: "Back off! I don't have to put up with this s**t!"
    Which very often doesn't help my cause any.
    That's why I left this in Justin's capable hands; I'd likely finish up wanting to punch someone.
    ("How do you like your head...one lump or two?")

    And I think I'll continue with the ice-cream...it seems to work!


    P.s.
    I posted a wee box full of tea-bags to Justin today...it'll be a few days before he gets them and I get a response...
    "Here's these few drinks I promised you.")
    Tee-hee!
    (Or should that be: tea-hee?)

    Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
