Sorry folks,
I do apologise for the long sabbatical. As to what has happened of me, lets not get into that: because at the moment I am "stuffed". Stuffed: that's a rather strange word and one would think I am stuffing myself with a lot of Muffins, but that's so not the case! Well actually my manager likes to bandy that word around and I am absolutely fascinated by it. He'd say 'Gosh we are stuffed' which loosely translates to 'We are in deep shit.' 'They just stuffed us in.' which means 'They pushed us into deep shit.' The first time I heard it I went 'Whaaaaaaaat?' (no not that loudly)! But I wondered about the origin of this phrase: does it mean 'stuffed like a christmas turkey and cooked in the oven' or does it mean 'stuffed with so much food down one's throat that one would want to puke' or 'stuffed like a trophy head of a moose' or perhaps 'stuffy and suffocating'. That's a lot of stuff to think about but I don't have the time or the energy at the moment so I'll leave the thinking to you brilliant folks. Okie dokie. Cheers!!
By the way if any of you thought I was drunk when I wrote this you are right: Happy All Fools Day!

I don't think I ever thought about why it's called "stuffed", but I think I'll vote for the stuffed turkey option. It just seems to make more sense to me :)
