having to go back to work after a lovely holiday. Particularly when I disover that my colleagues didnāt really cover the work and now my stats will be out due to no fault of mine. Fab. However 3 out of 5 allocations are refusing to work with us and 1 lives too near me so I cannot have that one. So maybe just one case to work on thenā¦ I do have an interview on Monday which if I get it will take me away from this work. Fingers crossed.

Cheers! Trying to prepare for the presentation part of it. The last interview I was observed and completely tanked it. So let hope I do better this time.

Youāll be absolutely fine. Remember, you were the successful candidate for your current job. They donāt hire idiotic unskilled people in your current role so why would the new place consider you if you couldnāt do the job?
Remember, if thereās an observation, the observers will most likely have had to do one too at some point. Same for the presentation. They wonāt be looking to fail you, more the opposite in fact
Smile, engage and be honest and open and youāll be fine - oh, and whatever you do donāt do Death By PowerPoint - a couple of bullet points per slide is all you need.

Chapped lips.
Itās been bastard freezing here (-12 at times) and bastard windy. I now have bastard sore lips, but no bastarrd lip balm.
Any suggestions for an alternative? Preferrably not bodily fluids.

Car drivers who are stuck in traffic and going nowhere very slowly, who think that itās fun to block cyclists off, either under or ovrtaking!
Why?
Agreed! gwc must be the laziest man on earth! When I need lip balm I just pop down to boots or superdrug, or you can even get it in supermarket! Itās not like itās a prescription drug!

Iām not one to stand up for Ed Sheeran under normal circumstances, but it seems he got some clog at the Grammys for winning with his song āShape of Youā which is apparently written about someone he was hot for. Instead they pointed out that the likes of Lady Gaga or Pink should have won (I presume because they have vaginas?). Now call me old fashioned, but havent both Pink and Lady Gaga both made careers out of, shall we say, exploiting the fact that they have vaginas - or to put it nicley, their feminity? Both seem more than happy to flash their lady part for the delectation of the viewing public, so why does poor old Ginger Ed get the flak? Double standards?
I do not follow your argument - why do you presume itās ābecause they have vaginasā rather than just because Shape of You is a pile of shit and people think Pinkās and Gagaās songs were better?
Thats the problem with all you stay at home on dry land types. We dont have supermarkets in the middle of the South China Sea or the Caspian Sea. If you dont bring it with you forget about it. You do with out until you forget to bring it back with you next trip. 
What I think gwc was looking for was a replacement that woud be readily available in his working enviroment. and Vaseline or petroleum jelly should be (its why the electricians have either got a smile or a grimace on there face.) 
taking the piss when we can do nothing about it is just bad form.

I havent heard Shape of You but assumed it was crap anyway. Thing is they werent complaining because it was shit and the other songs were better, they were complaining because it was a man singing about finding a woman sexually attractive.
Oh I see - the moaners were specifically moaning about the fact that he won with a song heād written about fancying someone? Seems a bit weird and kind of limits what people are allowed to write sings about in futureā¦ arenāt, like, 90% of songs written about someone fancying/loving/bumping uglies with someone else?
Also, I donāt know the song very well, but does Sheeran actually mention the gender of the person heās in love with the shape of?
I dont know Os, I really cant bring myself to listen to it to find out.
