When you really wish the ground would open up and swallow you.

Down to the village, this (very pleasant, and sunny) morning....Bumped into a chap that I see virtually every Saturday when I go and get the papers.

"Socially distanced handshake...and Happy Christmas, Paul."

"It won't be, Phil....the wife died on Thursday."

They'd been married 55 years.

What can you say....apart from "I'm SO sorry."

Phil.

You weren't to know.  You said what needed to be said.  The only other thing you could do is make sure he's not on his own on Christmas day, though he might want to be.

I knew the air was bad in Runcorn - but that bad ?

[Orcs]

When you really wish the ground would open up and swallow you.

Not your fault Phil, you were not to know, and I am sure he knows that.

[fred.]

Not your fault Phil, you were not to know, and I am sure he knows that.

Indeed, not tactless if you didn't know, and really if it was only a couple of days ago, no real chance for you to know. 

[Techno II]

Still makes me feel bad.

A bit like when Von asked a mum to be "How's it going ?"

Only to be told...."I miscarried last week. "

I know you can't know these things..But it still makes you feel like a complete uncaring heel.

Don't think you have got a monopoly on it.

[Techno II]

And now......to change the subject completely.

I've been wondering for the past few weeks/months why I've been struggling to beat 'the computer' on a particularly basic game of logic.....Set at the beginner's level. (Othello)....which I AM far more than competent at.

Finally spotted what the barsteward was doing....it plays SO fast, you can't see what it's up to.

It was having two....or three goes, to every one of mine...once I had it in trouble.

Cheating blanker.....That app's getting permanently deleted.

Cheers - Phil.
