My wife is in the office today working the fourth week of her three months notice, her two immediate line managers are two metres away and haven’t spoken to her; fuck ‘em.

Told her to go out for lunch 😀

After years of dreaming of retirement I pointed out that Mr Pix wasn't as jolly as I expected him to be.
It seems that he's not as happy as he thought he would be because well you know it's like the last bit of life isn't it?
I did point out that at 55 (56 in Jan) that he had loads of life left
and then he said about a recent thing he read about processed foods being why strokes are on the increase, I pointed out that we eat limited processed food to which he said I have ham, and sausages. I pointed out that it was proper ham not reformed and that sausages and burgers were almost always from the butcher!
Hopefully he will kick himself up the bum shortly!

ION I will get some news this afternoon apparently I am expecting a no to VR and lets discuss PT.

I think when you've handed your notice in some people reveal their true colours...
