This will please many of you

Anya as someone who has been to a Sandhurst passing out parade I thought your post

Piste, wot me !, well not this early anyway. i was referring to the earlier comment re Drs and Boys.

Thank you for sharing that with us wobblybits I can see you're happy skiing off piste, or are you perhaps a tad piste?

I did make a comment elsewhere that I though my Doctor looked as though she should be in sixth form, but that is because I am old and everyone looks young now, It wasn't a comment on her skills, with which I was impressed. (she might even be please to think she looks 18 )

The topic is "This will please many of you" so cake is totally on topic.

Off-piste is a whole lot more fun than piste-off.

I've lost a stone since my son left in September. Probably from eating differently and less and also the water tablets. It is so nice to see the gap back in my toes!

Well done on the 8lbs wot and this thread needed to go off piste.

Don't apologise Wot. Most of us like cake. My favourite is Battenburg. I dare not buy it!

Gone off the subject, haven't I? Sorry!

I have lost 8pounds in weight, mind!

I have been very good....cutting out whole milk, butter and all sorts of things I love. Eating fields full of greens, fruit etc. No cake before tonight. I simply fell off the wagon.

Granny23 nice one
or nice one Oscar, not that he would appreciate that sentiment!
Apt and succinct, my dear fellow.

That'll work ?

It was a date and walnut cake that just happened to be there. I'm trying to get my hideously high cholesterol down.

Anyway must move threads, all this talk of ....

Cake!

I've just eaten loads of cake and shouldn't have. Oh, knickers!

Bless her. I almost expected her to pop up and upraid me for using the term Q.E.D.

I think perhaps the term 'self awareness' is more commonly used. It's one of the signs of high emotional intelligence.

"One of the hallmarks of high emotional intelligence is self-awareness. Self-awareness is a deep understanding of what makes us tick; what angers us, makes us happy, bores and interests us. It’s also means that we can appraise ourselves, faults and all, with great honesty and clarity. So when people with high emotional intelligence make a mistake and get criticized for it, it doesn’t send them into an emotional tailspin. It’s simply a fact to be noted, analyzed and corrected."

Another controversial subject

Yes, I'm glad my name's shorter. It was actually Jings that helped with that!

Incapable of looking inside themselves yes wot (so glad you shortened your name!) so never able to see themselves as others see them. Very Rabbie Burns.

Passing out parade at Sandhurst. Proud mother turns to proud father as soldiers march past 'why's everyone out of step with Rupert?'

I've just seen the original post and think it is awful. How unkind and hurtful to make such comments about people you don't know. Why be so spiteful?

Oh, alright then! (What's the difference? People who don't look inside themselves and suspect they might not be right after all?)
