When you have finished that Miss D come for a visit.  I will take you out for lunch to Morrisons where they are already serving Christmas lunch and the staff are wearing red fleeces with Merry Christmas written on the back.  The ad that winds me up at is the one 'starring' the daft oxo bint I have no idea what it is about but as Pastis said....

Having spotted them last weekend, I was having a rant earlier this week about the Morrison's fleeces. Miss C will be pleased to know they have green fleeces too. It must be a heirachy thing like in the catholic church, the higher the rank, the brighter the colour (now where's that clip of Dave Allen talking of that very thing)

It's the commercialism and the christian hi-jacking of a pagan celebration that gets to me. As for Morrisons fleeces no doubt they will be wearing tinsel round their heads soon. I have to say that I didn't hear any Christmas muzak yesterday.

There's a joke there about stocking the Brillo pads next to the Laydees sanitary requirements but I am resisting the temptation.

There is a woman at work who once December hits insists on wearing a bit of reindeer antlers round the office. She is 'not right' anyway if you know what I mean  noooo:

She is extremely overweight and waddles slowly  from one leg to the other ...so when sitting at your desk you are forewarned nice and early of her imminent arrival as you can see this furry antlers see sawing towards you.

I have looked up the corporate dress code and  there is nothing that prevents her from doing this  cussing:

She doesn't work in our section so it's not my place to do so  whistle:

She just waddles our side of the floor because the ladies are located here.

She is mahooosive ...and the other day shuffled past with a black T shirt with huge gold sequinned letters saying 'Elvis loves me'  happy001
