Can someone tell me what's happened to this site?  No news about Moots since Nov LAST year, no new topics, no chat.......am I the only one here suddenly?

I 'm throwing this one in in the hope that someone out there can come up with a suggestion that would help.  I am being victimised at work, by my boss.  I don't want to resort to union intervention - I'm not one for confrontations.  How can I deal with it....she's not the kind of person you can approach and ask what the problem is, or why she's doing it....she'll just gloat & do it all the more happy in the knowledge that she's getting to you....

Colleagues have said her criticisms are completely unfounded...they know me very well.  What on earth do I do??  I'm getting very depressed about it all.

Every year in the village they held a competition to find the biggest pig.  Three brothers had entered theirs in previous years but with no luck.  One day one of the brothers hit on an idea "I know what we can do, we'll get yon pig , put a cork in his arse and feed him up.  He should grow to a hell of a size". The others agreed and so they stuffed the cork in, and proceeded to feed the pig.

Come the day of the contest, their pig was so enormous it won, no contest.  They went home happy.

After a week one brother says "shouldn't we outta do summat about yon pig? He gettin bigger an' bigger".  "well, I'M not takin' out that there cork" and no-one else wanted to either.

They had another brainstorming session and one of them said "why don'y we buy a monkey and train it to pull corks out of a board, 'save all the problem ?"     They bought a monkey and began training it to pull corks out of a board full of holes & when he'd mastered the task they picked a date to do the dreaded deed.

The day comes, the pig's in the field and they sent the monkey to pull the cork out.  The 1st brother says " I'm goin' ta stand 5 yds away for safety...."    2nd brother stands 10 yds away and the 3rd one stands 15yds away.   

The monkey goes over to the pig and pulls out the cork and there followed an ALMIGHTY explosion of shit.  When it all calmed down, the brother 15 yds away was ankle deep in it and went to help his brother 10yds away who was up to his waste in it.  The 3rd brother was over his head in it, so they quickly dig him out...only to find that he was helpless with laughter...

"Why 'you laughin' bruther, an' you all covered head-to-toe in pigshit???"   His brother replied "You'd a laughed too if you seed the face on yon monkey trying desperate to put the cork back in...!!!!! "

My Gran always used to say " You're as old as you feel......and once you stop feeling - you're OLD.." 

Another one - "God helps those who help themselves....unless you're a shoplifter, in which case it doesn't count"

Other than a total collapse of the big pharmaceutical firms and a return to the more natural and holistic therapies, only time and publication of results will do the trick I think.  And there are a lot of folk who just couldn't do without the strong, chemically-based medications, too, so while some things can be sorted in a less scientific way, it wouldn't do for everyone I don't think

Oh flame!!  Missed it again!!  So what happens at these moots - is it just a case of eat, drink and be merry, or is there more to it than that?

Be there or be square!

An old lady goes into a bakers' shop wanting a loaf.  There's only one loaf there, on the top very shelf. 

She asks the assistant " Is that loaf up there fresh?"

He replies " That loaf is SO fresh we've had to put it up there to keep it away from the tarts...!!"
