Ha ha!

 

My first boss in this job in the mid nineties used to tell the same stories again and again on the way to jobs. Always with him winning the argument/confrontation a bit like the end of every chapter in Alan Partridge's autobiography "needless to say, I had the last laugh"

 

Even if you said to him "Derry, you've told this story half a dozen times" he'd say

In a rather surprised tone "Have I?" Then after a moment "anyway, as I was saying" and tell the whole thing again.

 

I was relating this to the guys that work for me and said "if I ever get me that tell me!"

 

"Well actually" says the guy who has been dragging brush on and off for a decade "I must have heard that story about your old boss 20 times"

 

It comes to us all I suppose...

 

 

Ha, brilliant.

 

I hope I dont do the same as when someone starts telling me the same story again I stop them quickly simply saying "Oh yeah I remember you saying that" Works every single time, you just have to get in there quick. It has saved me numerous days of boredom and has allowed me to spend more time on the bog.

 

 

Just read the earlier news about the Katie Price tragedy, heartbreaking stuff, you just dont realise hoe bad others have it.:crying:

Did anyone watch the leadership questions tonight? May's an absoulte shambles who flustered under gentle questioning. Corbyn got both barrels of Tory Paxman and handled it fine.

 

Come on Mark, anyone who would put Diane Abbott up as shadow Home Secretary has got to be deluded or a fool or both :001_huh:
