Let's try again.
Well frankly it seems more interesting if I don't come to work. Normally the blog ticks along nicely, doing good business and setting the world to rights. Then I'm off for a day and suddenly hundreds of posts arrive as you all take over the show! And a pretty good job you all did too. I'm thinking I should be off more often and let you guys take the strain; if I'm short of quiz questions, confessions or oldies ideas, I know exactly where to go. Way to go bloggers (as young folk say). And thanks to Richard A. who stood up like a trooper and who I now you all love anyway.
I'm hoping things are on a more even keel after a day in duvet land, but you can never be too sure. I shall step forward hesitantly towards today's show. And even though I know you can do this perfectly well without me, the oldies today on the HIGGS BOSON/GOD PARTICLE which is definitely definitely there. They are calling it a 5 sigma result which means you are 99.9999% sure. Which seems a darn sight more certain than most things in life. My attendance today might only be a 3 sigma. The Higgs particle seems a bit like the LIBOR. With one you don't really understand it, but it seems a very important and good thing. With the other you never really understand it either but it seems like a bad thing. Or maybe my brain is fuddled. Oldies about very small things indeed please.
There's an Independence Day Mosh today; you might as well rock your way to choir practice with us after 6.
Have a controlled and ordered Wednesday, see you after 5

Apologies to all Persons concerned, I think the lack of sunshine has caused too much damp to invade my brain cell! More coffee is required. As the 'yoaks' on me. X

YOUR and YOU'RE - job done.
Far more common in here, however:
IT'S = contraction of 'it' and 'is' - ie. It's an easy mistake to make
ITS = possessive form of the neuter pronoun, 'his' ,'hers' or 'its' - ie. Pedantry has its own reward

Should I forget, may I wish CoffeeBuzz and Mrs CB-to-be a very special day on Sat (?).
Enjoy the day, because it goes so quickly and before you know it, it will be Sunday.
And also remember, IT IS YOUR DAY so do what you want to do, not what other people think you should do. Blog hugs coming your way......................>>>>>

Jennie, whirly-pits (as we call them) be gone! Hope you're having a tip-top birthday too!
Is it me for the torch soon? Better check the schedule and hope I'm feeling a little brighter by then, don't want the torch to singe my duvet!

One of our three events in the building has an American attending - and they ordered a cake to be delivered (with red white and blue icing, statue of liberty, etc) which was duly delivered to me.
Sadly as I had not had my caffeine (this is my only excuse) I put it in the wrong room, next to the catering for the wrong event...
All ended ok in the tho, as she (the aforementioned American) came to ask where her cake was, I realised my mistake - and hot-footed it to the room werein said cake lay.
As I pushed past the queuing attendees - I managed to whisk the cake away from a knife that was literally 2" away from it's surface.
Not moved that fast for a while!
The crestfallen knife-wielding attendees were not that disappointed though, as they had lovely mini danish anyways!
Plus the lift was broken first thing - it's been one of those days...or in my case daze.

Looking forward to the party this afternoon - the brie had been taken out of the fridge and is nicely gooey and the bread is lovely and crusty - can't wait!!
I've found some non-alcoholic fizz (elderflower champagne, I think) to toast all the lovely bloggers .
Don't think I have wished Simon better, in amongst all the excitement - hope you feel well enough to join us for a swift half Simon! Bring the rest of the gang too!
