It's Less Stressful Than Credit Control

Poor Lauren has been finding her role in credit control far too stressful recently so we've given her a few days of more therapeutic work. Although it looks like she is practicing her pole dancing in the photo, she is busy decorating our board room and a very good job she is doing. At least with skills like that Lauren will survive the credit crunch or recession or whatever it's being called this week.



I loved the news yesterday that you can catch obesity like you can catch a common cold. Will we all start shunning fat people? Don't come near me I'll catch obesity. It's going to be murder for anyone going to Florida. Mind you it's going to be great as an excuse isn't it? As you tuck into your Big Mac and super size fries with extra large Coke you will know that, as your weight balloons, it simply ain't your fault you just caught it off a fat geezer on the bus. I wonder who I caught it off? Must have been someone we were with at Christmas as I somehow put a stone on and it simply won't go.



Did you hear about the octuplets in LA? Wow that is a hell of a lot of babies! Six boys and two girls were delivered by Cesarean and all have survived. What amused me was that the doctors were only expecting seven. It would have been bad news for the eighth if they started stitching the mum up after they had delivered the expected number. Just imagine the baby's horror. It would be a bit like being buried alive.He or she must have been hiding in all the scans and will probably grow up totally photo shy.



Here's Harry who is not exactly photo shy. We love nothing better than a good political debate here in the office so this week (Ok we're a bit behind here being so busy with orders and all that)we've been debating Harrygate and his reference to one of his colleagues as his "Paki" friend. On this debate the score here is actually in Harry's favour but this is my blog so the official Instanta view is "Oi Harry No! Your little friend is a Pakistani". Good to see Instanta operating a fair and free vote and then ignoring the result. A bit like Zimbabwe. There's a comment option at the bottom of this blog. Your views would be welcome.



I also read yesterday that there was an auction of Kray's memorabilia. I really don't understand the glamour that is attached to a couple of ruthless thugs and murderers. Included in the sale were some old M&S shoes. I don't know how much they sold for but let's face it even if these weren't just shoes they were M&S shoes, they were just a pair of second hand shoes. Is someone going to put them on display in their lounge with all their other prized possesions? Lets' hope that Ronnie & Reggie didn't have sweaty feet or maybe if you were mug enough to buy them, let's hope that they did.Here's the only pair of shoes that I think would make a good investment.
