Today's message  noooo: noooo:


Hi Out There and Far Out, 

I awoke with misgivings!  Phew!  Miss Givings I'm SO SO SORRY ......I dream recipes I insisted .
 
'Yeah right'   Ms Givings replied.
 
And what about Nigella's Kit Peder? (she was American!)
 
Reality kicked in.... whoah..... Miss Givings had misunderstood my exclamation ' cream softly but thickly whipped' !
 
and then the phone rang... !     bbrrrrring    bbrrriing  bbbrriinng   bbbrriinnnngghh
 
Hi Pedder....Guess who's calling....?
 
'Randy', what's going down sunshine..?
 
Hey Pedder.......that's great you've recovered from the High Pressure Tensile Injected Lifescape Treatment.
 
Look Randy..... just don't mention Fryontology or I'm meat....
 
(I confessed the HPTILT treatment had been particularly challenging, nevertheless, my student experiences had proved invaluable and the adverbs rolled ... but I was not confident that the effects of withdrawal were still dictating my responses.. ......  )
 
Perfect Pet Products have the complete solution Peder......Trust Me?  I' m in sales...!
 
You're in sales Randy?  said Moi..
 
Look Randy I replied..... 'Trust me? .. I'm in sales..! '  call me back when you've engaged first gear......

Have a Good Day....

That bloke in Colditz put porridge on his head instead of underpants. And I now have the Colditz theme tune as an earworm, thanks Barman!

They are running the Colditz series on "Yesterday", Sky channel 537 from 2200hr's tonight. I know it gave a poor portrayal of what actually happened, but I enjoyed it in the 70's, vidjo is set

I too am planning to record the whole series.
I don't know how many liberties were taken with the truth but I do know that Pat Reid, who did escape from Colditz and reached Switzerland, was advisor to the series as it was based on the books he wrote about his time there.

and so for today's message  noooo:


Hi Out there and beyond.....
 
I have been  struck by the reportage in the media that has displayed both Queenslanders and our Aussi mates as such a resilient and positive breed.  Just getting on with helping out and moving on.  Not about today..all about tomorrow and driven forward by a distinct mindset of a 'young of view' population.
 
So expressed in the most important first two lines of Advance Australia Fair
   
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free
 
I have been fortunate to work with this young breed and it has been, so so good karma, apart from that unfortunate Walkabout experience, well let's just say fewer tinnis..enough I reckon..!
 
But seriously, look to your Aussi colleague and say 'you can be proud'... !
 
Peter     
 (apparently the last two versus are rarely sung)
 
Advance Australia Fair
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia fair!"
When gallant Cook from Albion sail'd,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Till he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
With all her faults we love her still,
"Brittannia rules the wave!"
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
Beneath our radiant southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England, Scotia, Erin's Isle,
Who come our lot to share,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
Shou'd foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Brittannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep a British soul.
In joyful strains the let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"

Sounds to me like he thinks such drivel will be seen by management as "Inspirational" and "Team Building" and he hopes it will get him promoted.
I suggest you all start call him Patience Strong

And for those too young to remember her here is an example:
Quote
Today is the beginning
In the years that lie ahead
may you always share the love you have
this day as you are wed
I pray you'll each be one on whom
the other can depend
and may you share not only love,
but be each others friend
some hopes may not be realised
some dreams may not come true
but many of them will I know
to bless the two of you
within the home that you will have
I pray you'll always find
contentment, joy,security
good health and peace of mind.

This sort of drivel was published daily in the "Mirror" for years and the woman went on to publish many books of her work. She was also very popular for those awful "Inspirational" books published for the Christmas market and subsequently many excerpts of her work were used on those mawkish pictures that management used to stick up in offices to try to foster an esprit de corps among the workers.

Today's latest missive.

If anybody can tell me what the feck it means I'll buy the cakes  noooo:

Peder Peder..you seen the news...?.
 
No No Randy ' Have you seen the news Peter?'  NOT 'you seen the news?'....! This is so not good Randy....language being degraded ......where's this going Randy?  and remember punctuation..
 
UP Peder , UP Peder.....rocket and peppers.....
 
Hold the bus Randy.....are these your vegetable sourced (ethically of course) drugs speaking? 
 
Not a bit Peder. I'm on a journey Peder to a more sustainable life style....!
 
Look Randy .....the language has changed....we don't mention ' lifestyle' ....think optioning, ladders of opportunity and personal financial choices....softer language,.  poverty for example...it informs the poor person but .....
 
'Rocket' Randy.what's the deal?
 
Peder ... I bought a deal of 'rocket salad' from a high street vendor....an 80 mg hit man.......I was spaced out man!
 
Well Randy what do you expect ...mainlining on hyper mushrooms will space you out!
 
No No Peder.....real rocket, rocket leaves man..
 
Look Randy..just go home and sort yourself out...
 
Peder.....the cost of living, the RPI , the CPI, taxes , vat . commodity price increases, fuel, and National Insurance..Peder
that  80 mg hit cost £1.50..
 
Peder a pepper cost me 80 pence.....EEK   
 
That's better Randy...talking real language but whoah....You're so right..all that imported food (miles apart food Inc)  ....yeah.cherry tomatoes in December from the Dominican Republic...return flight ChaseFreight Global (CF Global)..so what's your plan Randy?......more mushrooms?
 
No No Peder...I'm gonna  (Oh Randy just say 'going') acquire market products at zero cost!
 
How does that work Randy?
 
Shop lifting! Peder....I'm making a personal financial choice.......check out (there's a joke) the big trousers and skateboard...so street.....Peder
 
Look Randy....it's getting tougher to sustain a rocket lifestyle but check out Northern Bird Gazdox the new online alcoline for affordabe evening entertainment in Uberland , the London Imperative. 
 
The Gazaratti inform me that they're hitting the Verve ce soir, d'accord ...
 
Gazdox app available..99 pence .....
