But Ian, maybe Mary likes a nice warm bottom?

Verily, I say unto you, the Packard Bell laptop is hot stuff.

I`ll get me coat ........ Trudge, trudge.

Dear God, Tommo!  Can`t you say you have Ebola Virus or something? And then RUN as fast as you can!!

Tommo,

I've been looking at this repeatedly this afternoon:
and I've come to the conclusion that it's in a language I don't understand, albeit cunningly disguised as English... I hope it was, er, interesting.

Many many years of such dreary, meaningless seminar titles (admittedly, in my case, in the field of Higher Education) have taught me the following "trick": throughout the entire session, focus your whole energies into finding ways of re-framing the words of the title so as actually to MEAN something - even though it may not be what was originally 'intended' (not that anybody would know anything actually WAS!).

In this case, you could, for example, come up with something like the following:

"International Actuarial Profession UK - Seminar Promoting Longevity of the Joint - How should The Government ‘sell’ Personal Inertia?"

The possibilities are endless! I'm sure other posters can come up with even better "solutions" to this one.

Let's face it, the probability of anything remotely "useful" emerging from the original title seems totally unlikely.

...and while I'm in the Grump Room...!

WHY on earth was the Harvester Pub at Addington CLOSED this morning at 11.10am?! I mean, if these places aren't OPEN by then, what's the point in having them?

...and then - to cap it all - when I waited for the train at Elmers End, it had the timerity to arrive 93 seconds EARLY! Although I was grateful to sit inside it in the warm, I was distinctly UPSET to discover that instead of waiting, it simply LEFT the station 72 seconds before it should have done. (I might well have MISSED the damned thing!)

I'm not local you know Richard, I am 'from the north... I know nothing'
