30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| Can't find the other one, seems to have expired, so I'll begin.
I have a slight problem.
Collections at work. Costs me more to flipping work here than I earn some days, collection for Tina's rabbit having an operation, sponsoring Barrington's son not to be a wassock fo half an hour, the list is endless.
Most recent one is a collection for some flowers for Jackie. Why? She had a few days off recently, she's not leaving, what are we collecting for her for?
Well, apparently, whilst out with a colleague a couple of weeks ago she felt quite ill. Colleague offered to take her to the hospital but she said no, just take me home. At home she feels worse so her husband calls an ambulance. At hospital they decide she's got a serious problem with her gall bladder and will have to undergo immediate surgery. Whilst on the table, Jackie arrests and they have to shock her to resuscitate her. Awful. However she's since made a full recovery and is back at work.
So, it would appear we're having a collection for someone who's died and then come back to life. My issue is this. For a normal collection, say, for someone who's leaving or for someone who's ill long term i usually default to a quid. Now, how much is resurrection worth? Is it more or less than a quid? Fifty pence, two pounds? I don't know.

| It's a tricky one.
Thing is a resurrection is a lot more glamorous, so would merit something more than a quid. However, the fact that she's had this resurrection means she will eventually pop off again. So, are you willing to give twice?

| Cards - expensive (considering it is a bit of printed card) ornaments that stop off briefly on the mantlepiece on their way to the recycling bin.
The Mother's day card i sent this year didn't even manage to navigate the postal system so that was a waste of money and effort. My wife's admittedly, but still.
Talking of work-based inconvenient pleasantries, Mrs Mild's old place had a tradition of bringing sweets or biscuits back from holiday, so you'd have to spend half a day schlepping around to find something, rather than enjoying yourself. Generally ended in failure and a purchase from the airport anyway.

| I hate the holiday gift thing. One lady always brings back shell/bead bracelets, awful things.
I'm always getting emails at work asking for donations for leaving presents for some person I've never even met before.
Or one's that tell me Karen from Purchase accounts is leaving to have a baby, blah de blah. I've never even seen Karen.
However, as its my last day in the office tomorrow I am fully expecting a huge send off.

Best to leave it for a couple of weeks - might still be a bit raw after the op

| Those weird little things that we're programmed to fit to the side of our toilets?
Toilet duck.
Domestos away.
Parazone exterminator.
Why do we do that?
For about ten years I've been buying those things, irrespective of that, I still clean my toilet, I don't want people coming around to my Secret Hill Top Lair (not that they can get past the portcullis) and seeing an awful bottom stripe, hell, I'll sort that out.
The dangling chemical pouch does not sort that shizzle out.
They cost two sheets them bad boys, bought some Sally Sainsbury's one's, point nine of a queen.
These mo-fo's contain depleted uranium.
Consumer watch, don't buy this stuff.
Believe, I grew up on The Holderness Plain in the nineteen seventies, you want end up like me?
No.
Don't make the kids breathe the chemicals I had to.

| Ooh! Do you mean Wisey's, Sandra?
Our friends had a huge lumbering mongrel called Dudley. A wonderful dog who used to drink the blue water out of the bog. We called him Toilet Dud. Much as it pained me to use the T word. The fact that the word 'toilet' is used as part of the brand tells you exactly the sort of people those products are pitched for.
Toiletmy.
