We had our all day partnership meeting today and it was as tedious as expected
It went something like this.
Their side No. 1: “Drone, drone, moan ….spirit of the partnership …….moan, haven’t done what you said you’d do… drone, drone……”
Inner Granda: “Your man up there on his hind legs is very fond of the sound of his own voice. Up there in his fancy pinstriped Sunday-go-to-meeting suit. A property developer you say? He’s a kinda of a pink kinda of a boy. He would put you in mind of thon Beresford pig that Matthias O’Neill used to keep.”
Their side No. 2: “ Whinge, whinge ……so if no joy with EP and HC need to explore GLA, ODPM and GoL blah, blah, comply with OJEU…..RSL part of JVC whinge, whinge”
IG: “Boys-a-dear but that’s a bad looking article. A terrible gornacle altogether. Blether, blether, blether.
Their side No. 3 “Girn, girn, girn …….timeline, gantt charts, not sticking to programme moan, moan, girn”
IG: “Jesusmaryandjoseph now we’ve got a wee hussy. I’m tellin’ you she has a face on her that would sour milk. Are youse never going to shut your bakes?. I’ve got better things to be doin’ with me time. Slurry to spread and a rig of Kerrs Pinks to get in. Shure I shouldn’t be here a-tall and me not well. Up all night boaking rings round me so I was………………..”
And so on.
Actually it wasn’t too bad. We were reasonable and calm and they were not.
So far today I have walked 12184 steps. For my dinner I had pasta with home made sauce and afterwards some raspberies.
Inner Granda would be quite helpful for some of the abusive meetings I'd had to suffer of late....cheers.

Hi LawyerGuy
Well we all have our inner granda....and very good to think about him when suffering the tribulations of dire meetings.
