I don't think the cynicism ever left - it was just the full and healthy bit.......

Don't look at me like that. I can do grumpiness quite well when I put my mind to it.

What happened to our favourite curmudgeon?

No staying power, yer modern curmudgeon.

Couple of hours deliberate blending with mud and KTM usually recalls 'em to a sense of what's right.

Anyone got mud?

Wise words there Jim.

Someone I know said something similar very recently...

Guess we can all only but try to be nice when it's the last thing we feel like doing and/or forgive our fellow man their shittiness when they may be feeling that way themselves.

One day at a time and all that...

Jim, your indomitable spirit is showing again.
Hugs

So it should be "The end is nigh" and not "The End Is Nigh!!!!!."?

I have always thought of your self and Jim as two out of three from The last of the summer wine. Or is that Last Of The Summer Wine?

There's a bunch of other people out there too, some of whom live in the most remote city in the world. Perth.

Thanks for the link to your blog. I have heard about your accident and rehabilitation, but wanted to read it for myself. What a year indeed it's been for you to say the least. Full respect to you sir for coming all this way, to you and your family. Your posts in your blog are so very well written too.

I like all caps for a Headline. SHOUTING IT IS GOOD.

Great to hear that you are nearly out of the financial fiasco that you have been put through Jim.

I like the toxic colleagues article - I too had to look inwards there for a minute. Then I realised it was our managers that are the toxic ones.
