apparently we're not allowed to have brainstorm meetings any more as the term is not politically correct and may be offensive to some people. We now have 'idea showers'.

I'm not making this up. I'm not sure I could.

idea showers?

What happens when your boss holds the inevitable 'umbrella of stupidity' up?

Against the umbrella of stupidity, the rain of wisdom falls in vain. Lower your brollies, brothers and sisters, and bathe in the raindrops of sagacity. Turn your faces to the heavens, swing your brolly negligently from side to side, arrange your feet into the Position of Acceptance, and join me in the mantra for the Love of Rain (altogether now)

And do you remember the story in which Bobby Brewster denied the law of gravity _ speaking in Latin _ and suddenly lost contact with the ground?

***********************************************************

"Some days I diet, other days (including this one :-) they serve lasagne."

Nope, hardly remember anything about Bobby Brewster apart from not meeting the writer because I had to go and look at a lot of old walls that would still be there tomorrow.

I used to get bought copies of various Thomas the Tank Engine books when we visited Bressingham steam museum on Sunday afternoons. I loved Bressingham because there were steam organs playing wonderful music, little trains to ride on and a bigger one where you ride in the cab, and a beautiful steam powered roundabout (carousel). There were lots of old tractors and lorries and fire engines and hay making machines and everything smelt of steam and hot oil.
There was also a nice garden to wander around in with a little humpbacked bridge that you could go over, and also run underneath as the ground underneath was dry and grassed over. Running *under* a bridge - that was fun !

"the Professor Branestawm books by Norman Hunter" - That'll be a different Norman Hunter than the one I'm thinking of then, will it?

I still read Winnie the Pooh stories to get Dawn to sleep (she's only 27 after all!)

Bother, said Pooh. I've conjugated in the vocative again.

Wymondham's library was originally built as the St. Thomas a Becket chapel in 1174. Not much of that is left; the current flint building dates from about 1400. At the reformation, it was converted into a grammar school, and used as such more or less continusly until 1903. It was used as a chuch hall for a while before being converted into the town's library.
Beat that for history !
